Young workers might be too eager with the desire to impress others and put themselves in dangerous situations
Younger people in the workplace need more health and safety education. This is especially timely as many students will soon be taking on summer jobs in Ontario.
The injuries ranged from minor cuts and bruises to more serious fractures and amputations. During this same time period, 29 young workers lost their lives on the job said the data. There are many reasons why young workers are at a higher risk of injury and death on the job, said WSN. Being too eager and the desire to impress others can be a factor.
“They can be afraid that they might be seen as difficult or expendable, or they just don’t know what they don’t know," she added. “Employers and supervisors are required to answer these questions and address any concerns. If a worker believes their health or safety is at risk, they should report it to their supervisor or employer right away.”
