    I don't remember hitting the ground.

    James Wright Poster

    James Wright plummeted five storeys when a ladder broke at work. The impact broke his back. Now he lives and works in a wheelchair.

    His injury should have been prevented.

    In Ontario, over 17,000 young workers were injured last year. We all have the right to a safe workplace and the shared responsibility to keep it that way.

    How safe is your job?

    If you don’t know, you need to.

    For more details on James’ story and the facts on workplace safety, visit www.youngworker.ca or call 1-888-921-WSIB.
    James Wright, broke his back on the job at age 18.
