What is in it for my Students? Passport to Safety...

• will challenge your students with a national safety test on the basics of workplace health and safety. The test groups questions into six sections. Students must get 100% in each section before they can move on to the next section. When they get even one question wrong in a section, a safety lesson related to the topic appears for them to read and study before they are presented with new questions related to that section.

• will give them a certificate. When they successfully complete the test, they are awarded with a Passport to Safety certificate and a personalized transcript they can attach to their resumes to present to potential employers. They can expand their Passport to Safety transcripts on-line by adding additional safety-related courses and achievements.

• is about continual upgrading and learning. Participants become lifetime members to Passport to Safety. Students can go back to update their transcripts and check out new safety resources and features that are continually added to the youth area of the Passport to Safety website.

• may help them get a job. Employers will often recognize the Passport certificate as an indication that a job applicant will be more prepared to learn about safe workplace procedures and about the training employers are required to provide.

• will support them to be safer and healthier workers. Ensuring that your students know their rights and responsibilities in the workplace can prevent workplace injuries and deaths among young Nova Scotia workers.
