YSED 2026: Safety is a Decision
Every Young Worker Deserves a Safe Start … And You Have a Role to Play!
Safety is a decision. Know what to do when it matters most.
As young workers enter the workforce for the very first time, they face unique risks. They are eager to impress, often unfamiliar with workplace hazards, and may not know when, or how, to speak up if something doesn’t feel right.
That’s why Service Hospitality joins forces with the Province of Saskatchewan to officially proclaim September 10, 2026, as Youth Safety Education Day (YSED) – and why Service Hospitality is calling on everyone to take action during YSED Week (September 7–11, 2026).
“Creating a culture of safety starts long before a young person’s first day on the job,” says Carrie Bjola, CEO of Service Hospitality. “The intention of Youth Safety Education Day is a call to action for workplaces, communities, and schools to do their part to equip young people with the knowledge and tools necessary to recognize risks, and the confidence to make safe decisions that last a lifetime.”
