Jeunes travailleurs (RSS)
Un baromètre Ipsos montre que les 17-30 ans sont jugés sévèrement par les autres salariés, qui les considèrent majoritairement individualistes, réfractaires à la culture d'entreprise ou peu fidèles. Un avis non partagé par les chefs d'entreprise qui relèvent leur motivation et leur enthousiasme. Les jeunes quant à eux expriment surtout un fort besoin de reconnaissance.

Working is a big part of the lives of Canadian teenagers and young adults. One of the most consistent findings in occupational health and safety research over the last two decades is that younger workers have more non-fatal work injuries (and lost-time claims) than adults. Given this tendency, this study sought to examine trends in young worker and adult lost-time claim rates in Ontario in recent years. This type of information is helpful because it provides policy-makers in occupational health and safety with evidence/information to help them determine the best place to target their prevention...
Travaillant principalement dans les secteurs du commerce de détail, de l’hébergement et la restauration, les étudiants sont exposés à de multiples contraintes organisationnelles. L’Institut de recherche Robert-Sauvé en santé et en sécurité du travail (IRSST) vient de publier les résultats d’une étude visant à déterminer les effets du cumul d’activités et de contraintes du travail sur la santé et la sécurité d’étudiants qui travaillent pendant...
A survey by researchers from the Romanian National Observatory for Lifelong Learning Development (ODIP) into the participation of three groups of workers at risk in the labour market in continuous training schemes found a low rate of participation, with considerable variation between urban and rural regions, age and size of company. The main obstacle for the employees surveyed was their low level of income and the main obstacle for employers was the high cost of training.

Slippery floors, hot cooking equipment, heavy lifting, loud noises and working alone are some of the dangers teens face as they experience a first job or seasonal employment. To help teens stay safe at work, the American Society of Safety Engineers (ASSE) has developed a comprehensive electronic toolkit, “Target Teen Work Safety.

The World Health Organization (WHO) Executive Board Resolution128/15 Child Injury Prevention of January 24, 2011 includes wording to remind countries of their obligations to prevent child labor and to address risks at work encountered by youth under the age of 18. This is due to recommendations of the non-governmental organizations (International Occupational Hygiene Association, International Commission on Occupational Health, and International Ergonomics Association) in the WHO Network of Collaborating Centers in Occupational Health and to wording insertions of the Executive Board delegates from...
Les savoir-faire, tours de main et autres "savoirs de prudence" peuvent s'avérer critiques pour la performance de l'entreprise. Issues de l'expérience, ces compétences implicites contribuent aussi à la préservation de la santé. Comment faciliter leur transmission aux plus jeunes ? Interview de Patrick Conjard, co-pilote du projet TSE de l'ANACT. Source : http://www.anact.fr/web/actualite/essentiel?p_thingIdToShow=17047562
Les autorités de la Communauté autonome de Castille-La Manche (centre de l'Espagne) viennent de publier un rapport qui analyse la cause des accidents du travail mortels qui se sont produits dans cette région d'Espagne entre 2005 et 2007. L'analyse porte sur 90 cas. Elle permet de mieux comprendre les causes qui contribuent à ces accidents. Différents groupes de causes ont été identifiés. Les deux groupes de causes qui contribuent le plus aux accidents mortels sont l'organisation du travail et une mauvaise gestion de la prévention...
This research project was commissioned by the Long Latency Health Risks Division (LLHRD) of the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) in order to identify the most effective ways of communicating messages about the risks of Long Latency Diseases (LLD) to young learners in Vocational Education and Training (VET). The National Centre for Social Research (NatCen) carried out the research for the HSE. Long Latency Diseases are caused by breathing in harmful substances, but the ill health can take a long time, often many years, to manifest after the point of exposure. Young learners are at particular risk...
Une nouvelle pièce du puzzle : la mobilité La section Recherche à l'IRSST du magazine Prévention au travail présente une étude sur l'effet de la mobilité d'emploi, du travail à temps partiel et du statut scolaire sur les risques de lésion professionnelle auxquels sont exposés les jeunes de 16 à 24 ans, comparativement aux travailleurs plus âgés.

Adolescents and young adults experience higher risks of occupational injuries and fatalities compared to adults. Consequently, understanding the risk and protective factors of a young worker through a developmental lens is all the more compelling. The following manuscript describes the developmental processes of adolescence using a bioecological framework. It describes how factors such as neuromaturation, pubertal development, physical growth, and social contexts may place youth at greater risk of injury and other negative outcomes in the work environment. The emphasis of the paper is on the developmental...
Towards Generation Z HSE horizon scanning short report anticipating the arrival of ‘Generation Z' in the workforce over the next ten years. Societal values change with each generation but the rate of this change has increased significantly over the past fifty years or so, which has produced a new generation in the workforce with markedly different characteristics from those of previous generations.

Future engineers, architects, medical professionals and business administrators and managers will all need to take account of OSH in aspects in their working lives. This report presents a variety of cases concerning how OSH has been included in university-level education. Of most interest were examples where OSH was embedded in the programme of other undergraduate studies, such as a general engineering undergraduate course or a business studies course. However, few examples were found where OSH/risk education had been truly embedded within the curriculum of individual courses. Source : http://oldbookshop...
This is the time of year that many young people begin thinking about summer jobs. For some teenagers, these jobs might be viewed as elective—that is, opportunities to gain work experience, spend time productively, or earn some spending money. For others, however, especially those in their late teens and early adulthood, these jobs pay the rent and buy groceries. New research from NIOSH illustrates that more needs to be done to ensure that as young people join the workforce they are better protected from hazards. On average each year from 1998 to 2007, about 800,000 workers 15 to 24 years...
From 1998-2007, younger workers experienced approximately twice as many nonfatal occupational injuries as older workers, and employers must make changes in workplace environments and practices to protect this population, according to the April 23 Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report. The report, conducted by National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), pointed out that younger workers in the United States represent 14 percent of the labor force “and face high risk of injury while on the job.” Source : http://ehstoday.com/safety/news/mmwr-younger-workers-experience...
