Young workers aged 15-24 are most at risk of workplace injuries, especially in their first six months on the job. Physical hazards like falls are common causes of injury in industries like construction and healthcare. Proper safety equipment and training can help prevent injuries from falls, loud noise, heavy lifting, machinery, and other hazards. Employers should ensure all workers, especially young ones, receive proper safety training.

welfare of people engaged in work and employment.
Young People from the ages of 15-24 are particularly
vulnerable to injuries on the job. They lack the
experience and knowledge that older workers have
which makes it hard for them to judge what's safe.
Young workers are at the greatest risk of getting
injured during their first six months on the job. And,
young men are more likely to get hurt than any other
group of workers.

4. Falls are common when working in construction,
extraction, transportation, health care, and building
cleaning and maintenance.

machines is also a problem.

best to wear eye protection make sure you keep the
guard on if the machine has one and follow all safety
procedures.

macho Koodo guy and try to impress someone with
how strong you are.

your legs and not your back to avoid back injury.

7. If your not how to do something always ask don't be
scared.

mature and smart.

8. Some of these things happen from lack of training.

you get trained properly.

yourself, it's probably best to quit or ask someone to
train you.

things are kids just out of high school. When offered a
job be aware of the work hazards and be safe and not
hurt yourself or the people around you.
