Fred Young

"Helpful by nature", Fred Young is a powerful health and safety partner in the agricultural sector in his role as Consultant with Workplace Safety & Prevention Services (WSPS). He says it was a natural fit when he began working with Ontario's Farm Safety Association before amalgamation with WSPS, when a farming accident hit close to home. Now in the field for more than 25 years, he’s made it his mission to help farmers take a proactive approach to safety to keep them, their families, and their workers safe.

he says. Fred assists farmers to identify safety dangers and provides the training and resources necessary to control them; from working at heights to machine guarding to violence and harassment. His trusted expertise is also called upon in the manufacturing and service sectors.

“I recall hearing how a young lad who attended one of my safety sessions was faced with a hazardous situation not more than a week later. He remembered the grain auger demonstration, heeded my words and averted a potentially life altering accident. Those are the success stories that bring the greatest job satisfaction.”

While believing strongly in the importance of health & safety, Fred also appreciates and respects the time people give him, and strives to make training interactive and enjoyable for them.
