As an employer, prioritising the safety and well-being of your employees is a top priority. With their inexperience regarding workplace procedures and safety guidelines, you need to establish adequate measures that create a secure work environment.
With workers under the age of 25 being more likely than average to claim workers’ compensation, the need for proper safety measures for young workers is crucial (SafeWork Australia 2023).
By creating a safe and supportive working environment, you as an employer will not only fulfil your legal obligations but also make significant contributions to shaping the personal and professional growth of these young workers for a more resilient and safer workforce for the future.
By improving young worker safety in the workplace, you can also create a better reputation among the younger workforce, making you an employer of choice.
How to create safe workplaces when employing young workers
Based on the industry you operate in, your workplace needs to establish certain safety procedures to truly ensure that young workers understand and are complying with the necessary safety standards. Youthsafe is a leading organisation that has dedicated its services to promoting the safety and well-being of young people in Australia. With a comprehensive range of services and programmes, they offer valuable resources and support to employers, parents, instructors, teachers, and other adult influencers who support young people whether they’re at work, socialising, driving, or engaging in sports.
