Hospitality is one of the largest Canadian industries in terms of employment. At the same time, they have one of the lowest incident rates per employee, less than 2 per 100,000. Out of the roughly 15,000 lost time claims filed annually in the accommodation sector, over one third of them are traumas to muscles, joints, or tendons.
This serves to show that, even though a job in Canadian hospitality is one of the safest someone can hope for, the status quo can still be improved by means of appropriate safety training. Below is a list of the most frequent jobs in Hospitality & Tourism and the safety courses required of employees to ensure both their safety and that of consumers.
