Assess the Risk is yet another horrifying glance into the workplace injuries youth risk each and every day - a formidable follow-up to our Spot the Hazard campaign.

Assess the Risk features tales from the SAFE Motel - a dingy, dangerous place where workplace incidents lurk around every corner for each of the motel's young workers.

After all, young employees account for 18 per cent of time loss injuries in Manitoba, with rates spiking between May and September. Most of these employees serve their first job in the service industry - and many don't realize the risks they face.

Assess the Risk invites visitors to participate in four interactive scenarios – The Broken, Blood in the Water, Two in the Hand and Left Cold – that examine the risks of common hazards young workers face on a daily basis.

View the interactive websiodes online or request a copy on DVD for classroom presentations.
