Worksafe Young Workers Speak Up
Worksafe Victoria in Australia is encouraging young workers to speak up at work before it’s too late. The organisation is concerned that many young people are too embarrassed to ask questions about equipment, often with terrible results. 15 to 24 year olds in all types of employment – casual, part-time, labour hire, work experience, or apprenticeships – are more likely to be severely injured at work in Victoria than any other age group. A range of print advertisements, television and radio commercials bring the message, “It doesn’t hurt to speak up”.
“I was new and afraid to ask”.
“I thought I’d look stupid if I asked again”.
“I thought I could wing it”.

This pictures are very graphic and get the message out. I love the comments on them because those are the exact thoughts that youth think of… I know I did.
Here at my work we are involved in an organization called Our Youth At Work wich works in promoting workplace safety for youths and challenges the kids to speak up and ask questions
Great Job!
People entering a particular workplace for the first time shouldn’t have to ask, unless they want something repeated. Their new bosses or experienced colleagues should give a clear explanation on how to use a particular piece of machinery or carry out a particular task.
