TAKE A KID TO WORK SIGN-OFF

Workplace Safety Notes

Read these notes with your student before the visit. If a rule here differs from a site rule, follow the stricter one.

Supervision

• Stay with your student at all times. Hand over to another adult only if your supervisor has agreed and your student knows that person.
• Sign in and out at reception, and keep any visitor badge visible.
• Keep your student in the office, meeting rooms and common areas unless a guided tour has been arranged.

Warehouse, shop and vehicle areas

• Students do not enter warehouse, shop, loading dock, racking or service areas without a guide and the required protective equipment.
• Forklifts and other moving equipment have the right of way. Stay inside marked walkways and stop at crossings.
• Students never ride on, sit on, climb on or operate forklifts, lifts, ladders, racking or other equipment.
• Stay clear of raised loads, charging stations, chemicals and anything marked with a warning sign.

Clothing and protective equipment

• Closed-toe, flat shoes are required. Tie back long hair and avoid loose clothing.
• Wear any protective equipment that the area requires, such as a safety vest, safety glasses or hearing protection.

Office safety

• Do not use shredders, paper cutters, kitchen appliances or tools without an adult helping.
• Keep aisles and doorways clear, and walk on stairs and in hallways.
• Do not touch other people’s computers, phones or files. Ask before taking photos, as some information is confidential.

Emergencies, injuries and health

• When you arrive, show your student the nearest exits, the muster point and the first aid station.
• If an alarm sounds, stay together, leave by the nearest exit and go to the muster point.
• Report every injury or near miss to your supervisor right away, however minor.
• Bring any medication your student needs, and keep your student home if they are sick.
