SAFE Work NL’s
Who Wants to Save a Life?, now in its fourth season, is an innovative and creative trivia game originally designed to educate high school students about workplace health and safety. This season, the game expanded to include eight post-secondary institutions. The game was developed and funded by the Workplace Health, Safety and Compensation Commission (the Commission), in partnership with the Department of Education.
“This game show is a very effective way to educate young people and promote safe workplace environments,” says Leslie Galway, the Commission’s CEO. “Every day in Newfoundland and Labrador, two young workers are injured at work. Workplace accidents and illnesses affect not only workers, but employers, families and communities. We must all play a role to ensure that every working person in Newfoundland and Labrador goes home healthy and safe at the end of every working day.”
The final games for the junior and senior high divisions will be played on May 2, 2012 at Empire Theatres in St. John’s.
