Pictured: As young individuals embark on their journey into the workforce, ensuring they have access to the necessary PPE to perform their job is paramount. Sponsored by the City of Busselton, Rio Tinto, APEX and Men’s Shed, the ‘Boots for Youth’ initiative aims to equip young workers with high quality safety work boots.
Young workers often face unique challenges as they transition from education to employment. While safeguarding feet from potential injury is crucial, the cost of safety work boots can be prohibitive for young people. The program ensures that each participant receives certified safety boots, providing essential protection.
