Designed for both young and new workers, this guide will provide new workers with an overview of their health and safety rights and responsibilities, hazard recognition, hazard control, preparing for emergencies, occupational health and safety programs and who to contact for additional help.

It is designed to be both a guide for new workers, as well as a tool that employers can use as part of their workplace-specific orientation training program. This guide is filled with clear-language text including safety tips, charts, diagrams, checklists and illustrations.
