Ernest Muswagon, Safety Presenter / Aboriginal Liaison
MY JOB
What we do
Primarily what we do is give presentations about occupational workplace safety awareness.
We talk about workplace hazards, how to recognize those hazards, what to do if you come across those hazards and we talk about workers' rights. We also talk a little bit about employment standards in regards to workplace safety.
We give these presentations in public schools, First Nations communities, Adult Learning Centres, and EAL classes* for newcomers. It's important that everyone has this education available because everyone's safety is important.
