Education and Research - An Industry That Could Be Fatal
With less than 8,000 lost time claims on a yearly basis, the Canadian Educational Services sector is one of the safest places to work in. When we take a look at the breakdown of these injuries, AWCBC statistics indicate that nearly half of them are accidents due to slips, falls, and similar incidents.
With appropriate safety training, the number of injuries in Education can be mitigated even further. In addition, employees in this industry are often legally responsible for the welfare of others, so rigorous and regular safety training programs are a must.
Below is a list of some of the most common jobs in education alongside the safety certifications required by each.
