Protecting Young Workers Starts With Effective Health and Safety Training

Protecting Young Workers Starts With Effective Health and Safety Training

This episode of the IHSA Safety Podcast discusses young workers' experiences with health and safety training and features guest speakers Ashley and Will, who share their experiences from different sectors.

Ashley and Will discuss the challenges young workers face when it comes to health and safety awareness and training. Ashley, who works in healthcare and previously in a grocery store, mentions that her grocery store job provided only minimal training during orientation, mainly through video content that wasn’t engaging. However, her healthcare job involves ongoing learning, helping her stay informed about safety practices. Will, who works in the service sector, didn’t receive any formal safety training at his job; however, he learned some safety tips from family and other sources.

When asked about overall safety at their jobs, Will feels his safety is prioritized, while Ashley, who received little attention when she got injured at her grocery store job, says her current workplace supports and encourages open discussions on safety. They both discuss more topics such as safety procedures, incident reporting, and PPE, and both express the need for improved and more interactive safety training processes to better prepare young workers for real workplace hazards.
