This study examines young workers' responses to unsafe work through the lens of the exit, voice, patience, and neglect typology (Leck & Saunders, 1992).
In Canada, social marketing campaigns and high school curriculum concerning workplace safety for young workers promote the benefits of "speaking out" against dangerous work. We conducted focus group interviews with teenagers in two Canadian cities to understand the types of work-related hazards experienced by this group, how they respond to hazards, and barriers to injury prevention.
Instead of speaking up about hazards, the vast majority of young workers in our sample take a "wait-and-see" approach when they have safety concerns. Their reluctance to raise issues by voicing concerns was related to fear of being fired, status as newcomers, supervisor indifference, and feelings of powerlessness.
Despite the emphasis on "speaking out" against unsafe work, young workers' beliefs about the perils of voicing persist.
本研究通过退出、发声、耐心和忽视分类法（Leck & Saunders，1992）考察了年轻工人对不安全工作的反应。
在加拿大，针对年轻工人的职业安全的社会营销活动和高中课程提倡“直言不讳”反对危险工作的好处。我们在加拿大的两个城市进行了青少年焦点小组访谈，以了解该群体所经历的工作相关危害的类型，他们对危害的反应方式以及伤害预防的障碍。
在我们的样本中，绝大多数年轻工人在有安全顾虑时采取了“观望”的态度，而不是对危险直言不讳。他们不愿通过表达担忧来提出问题，这与担心被解雇、作为新手的地位、主管的冷漠以及无能为力的感觉有关。
尽管强调了“直言不讳”地反对不安全的工作，但年轻工人对发声的危险的信念仍然存在。
