TAKING THE N OUT OF

See what people are doing to make their workplaces more safe for work.


Wait, what is NSFW?


WHAT IS NSFW?

Not Safe For Work (NSFW) is usually used as a warning for some, let's say...
less than appropriate stuff on the internet. But here, we’re Safe For Work. And
we are literally talking about safety at your job.

Why? We want to hear from you—the experts—on how you make your job safe for you
and your coworkers.

Maybe you’re starting a new gig or you’ve been there for ages. No matter what
stage of the game you’re in, you have something to share. How you ask? Great
question! Check out how you can be an influencer and spread the word.

Not sure how to stay safe or what your rights are? We got you. We’ll share quick
tips you need to know. Like what your rights are when you’re on the job, how you
can keep you and your coworkers safe, and what to do if you see something weird.




SFW ON TIKTOK AND INSTAGRAM


Show us how you stay safe when you’re on the grind! Maybe it’s something simple
like opening a box properly… and not using a shiny samurai sword. Or using a
ladder to grab something on a high shelf… and not attempting any crazy
acrobatics.

Show us what you got – just keep it safe, and make it fun. Even if it’s through
interpretive dance. Whatever works for you, no judgement here.

Interested? Amazing. Download our Creator Guide to learn more.

Young workers are 33% more likely to get injured than workers over 25.

Over 50% of all incidents involving young workers occur during their first 6
months on the job.

Young workers are more vulnerable to accidents and less likely to raise safety
concerns with their employers.


WHAT ARE YOUR RIGHTS?

It’s important to know your rights at work. You can speak up for yourself and
others and help keep everyone safe. Here’s what you need to know:

 * This is an easy one. You have the right to work in a safe and healthy
   environment and know about any hazards in the workplace.
 * You can say no! We’re not talking about saying no to cleaning the restrooms
   or moping the floor just because it’s really gross. But you do have the right
   to say “no” to work that is not safe without being punished or fired. If it
   seems unsafe, say no and protect yourself.
 * Make your voice heard. You may not be the boss (yet), but you have the right
   to help find solutions for workplace health and safety concerns. Your opinion
   matters and you can really make a difference.


YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES

Yes we sound like your parents here (wear a sweater and make good choices!!),
but by law, you also have to make sure you’re doing the right thing on the job.


YOU HAVE THE RESPONSIBILITY TO

 * Ask questions! Know the safety requirements and avoid taking risks.
 * Report any unsafe conditions right away. Talk to your boss about any safety
   concerns. This will keep you and the other people you work with safe.
 * Wear the right safety equipment for the job. You wouldn’t skydive without a
   parachute. So don’t jump into something at work without having right stuff to
   get the job done safely.


WHEN IN DOUBT, REMEMBER THESE INCREDIBLY EASY TIPS:

 * If you don’t know how to do it, don’t do it.
 * If you don’t know how to use it, don’t use it.
 * If you’re ever unsure, ask your manager.

TIPS FOR TALKING TO YOUR BOSS

boss. If you’re feeling unsure how to do that, check out some of our tips.

TIPS FOR TALKING TO YOUR BOSS – AND MAKE IT SLIGHTLY LESS AWKWARD.

It’s not always easy to share your safety concerns with your boss. But it’s an
essential part of your job and shows your manager you care about what you do,
and the safety of your coworkers. Remember, they were once in your shoes and can
probably relate. We hope these tips can help you feel confident to start the
conversation – and make it (hopefully) a bit less awkward.


WHEN YOU’RE PUT ON THE SPOT

 * Just say “no.” Nope. Nah. No thank you. Tell your boss or supervisor
   confidently and calmly why what’s being asked of you is unsafe. Trust
   yourself – you know when something feels a bit off. You have the right to say
   no without being punished or fired.


WHEN YOU SEE SOMETHING UNSAFE

 * Write down the issues you want to talk about in advance.

 * Ask your boss when a good time would be to speak with them rather than
   interrupting out of the blue.

 * Avoid using absolute words, like “always,” “every,” “all the time” and
   “never.” This will help prevent your boss from reacting defensively.

 * Try to use “I” statements, such as “I’m worried about __” instead of “you”
   statements like “You haven’t done ___ properly.”

 * Avoid bringing up an issue when you’re feeling emotional. Take a deep breath.

 * Offer solutions. A good boss will be impressed by your work ethic and
   commitment. Bonus points with the boss can’t hurt.

 * If things don’t go well, then you can always report the situation here.


SPREAD THE WORD!

Want to share these pro tips with your coworkers? Step one: find an old school
printer. Step two: print these out and post them up in common areas so everyone
knows their rights. And just like that, you’ve made a difference!

ABOUT US

Starting a new job isn’t easy. We know. We’ve been there.

From weird hours and oversharing coworkers to sweat-stained uniforms and broken
equipment, you’ve got plenty of things to worry about. But your safety
definitely shouldn’t be one of them.

That’s where we come in. As the largest health and safety association in
Ontario, we get what you’re dealing with. We know that a lack of training and
inexperience makes you 33% more likely to get hurt on shift, yet you’re also
less likely to raise safety concerns. That’s not OK.

That’s why we want to change all that. With SFW, we’re asking young people to
show off what it means to work in a safe workplace. While we’re always here to
provide training and guidance, we think you know way more than we do about what
really happens at your job. And we want to hear from you!

Our workplaces shouldn’t be NSFW – let’s keep that to weird internet stuff. Help
us create an SFW future for everyone. Go forth and be awesome.
