Okay, I wanted to throw this out there, as I have found that there is little care for anyone in regards to the safety of their health when it comes to anyone working anywhere. Back in 2010, I was enrolled in a government work program to help me find a job where I could start out fresh and gain some solid work experience, as we all know everyone has to start somewhere. Well this program offered all this money to these companies to pay towards part of my wage, which i appreciated very much, but their #1 priority was to get me out the door and into a job as fast as possible, well that being said, stupidly enough they did not go over any safety requirements or even mentioned one word about safety at all. They bought me work pants shirt and some steel toed boots, but no ear defenders or anything. well 2 months later, the program found me a job as a laborer for a small residential construction company, and we used to use all sorts of power tools and loud machinery, yet no one ever came forth to tell me anything about safety. Not even the safety inspector from government who checked the safety of the building instead, like wtf? I was young and had no knowledge on safety or anything what so ever. I was struggling to find a job to make some money and that's all I was really focused on at the time. So I agree this is an action that needs to be taken ASAP, and not just for military servicemen.
