A better preventive culture to improve safety learning among young employees in the labour market

Activity: Talk or presentation › Lecture and oral contribution

Description

We know that the first months at work is the most dangerous, especially for young people. In the existing prevention strategies targeted at young people’s work injuries the main focus are on training and safety instruction. However, the evidence in the field shows that safety training and instruction of young and new employees in it-self have little or no effect on the number of injuries. Part of the explanation for the lack of effect may lie in the fact, that existing learning programs do not take into account the everyday practice at the workplace where the safety learning is supposed to take place. There is a need for a better preventive culture to improve safety learning among young employees. This presentation suggest some important components of such a culture.
