📣 We are proud to have been an official partner of Service Hospitality’s Youth Safety Education Day (YSED)! 🙌

This September, as young individuals stepped into the workforce—whether it was their first summer job, a part-time position, or the start of a new career—workplace health and safety took centre stage during YSED Week, September 8–12. 🦺✨

We were pleased to be part of this important initiative, which raises awareness and helps young people gain the knowledge they need to stay safe on the job. 💚

What is an ERU?
