Article Synopsis
- Young workers in the U.S. face higher injury rates due to a lack of preparation for workplace hazards, prompting the development of "Safety Matters," a one-hour educational module aimed at improving their safety awareness.
- A pilot study in Colorado involving 283 youth evaluated the effectiveness of the program, training professionals to deliver the content and assess its impact on knowledge and attitudes before and after the training.
- Results showed significant improvements in safety knowledge and attitudes among participants, with variations observed based on race and ethnicity, highlighting the potential for this type of community-based program to enhance future workplace safety training.
