WCB Nova Scotia urged employers to focus on summer-job safety for young workers, flagging seasonal risks even as overall workplace injury rates remain at their lowest.
The warning centers on younger employees entering workplaces during the summer, when limited experience can leave them more exposed to job-site hazards.
By pairing the alert with record-low injury rates, the board signaled that recent progress does not remove the need for training, supervision and risk awareness during peak summer hiring.
