The Supervisor | WorkSafeBC

This docu-drama examines issues related to supervisor responsibility for workplace health and safety. It depicts the emotional, legal, and financial consequences of a fictionalized workplace incident that leads to the death of a young worker.

Please note that this video contains coarse language and graphic scenes. Viewer discretion is advised.

This video was created to raise awareness among employers, supervisors, and workers about the importance of ensuring that young and new workers and their supervisors receive adequate training and instruction. Workplace safety is everyone’s responsibility.

This video is a valuable training tool for employers, supervisors, workers (especially new workers and young workers), unions, educators, parents — virtually every member of the community.

Did you know? Every employer is responsible for ensuring that workers are adequately informed, instructed, trained, and supervised in carrying out their work.

Did you know? Supervisors have the right to receive workplace health and safety training, the right to refuse unsafe work, and the right not to be discriminated against.

Did you know? Workers between the ages of 15 and 24 are at greater risk of being injured on the job than any other group of workers in B.C. These workers are at risk for many reasons, including lack of training and inadequate supervision.
