What are the most effective ways to prevent young worker injuries?
WorkSafeBC research among young worker stakeholders raised common themes on ways to prevent young worker injuries. These include: • Young worker training and orientation to new work sites and new jobs at the same work site • Health and safety training for supervisors of young workers • Peer-to-peer training programs for young workers • More education informing youth, parents, employers, unions, and other key stakeholder groups on the issue of young worker accidents and their rights and responsibilities concerning workplace health and safety.
