PASSPORT EMPLOYER
Workplace health and safety is something many people dont think about. Tragically, each year approximately 60,000 young Canadians experience disabling and disfiguring injuries while on the job. Passport to Safety provides young people with the minimum they need to know before going to work. As an employer you can take the initiative and commit to hire only those young workers who have successfully challenged Passport to Safety. In doing this, you are committing to keep your employees, our youth and our entire community safer. Become a Passport to Employer and help us raise the bar on safety in Ottawa.

"The antidote to injury is attitude: an injection of awareness, caring and learning into the minds and hearts of everyone around us."
