Young workers are at increased risk for occupational injuries. Many lack appropriate skills to avoid workplace hazards. In addition, existing safety programs neither address total worker health principles nor align with the relatively high technological expectations of young workers. This article aimed to identify the content and process for an on-line total worker health training for young workers.
During the summer of 2012, an on-line survey (n = 187) assessed young workers' behavior, knowledge, and attitudes on total worker health topics and on-line training delivery methods.
Forty-five percent of the workers indicated this was their first job; new workers demonstrated lower safety knowledge scores than returning workers. In addition, results demonstrated that workers would benefit from health behavior interventions delivered through technology-based means.
Findings characterize the work-related needs for this population and demonstrate the utility of using on-line training.
年轻工人面临更高的职业伤害风险。他们中许多人缺乏避免工作场所危险的适当技能。此外，现有的安全计划既不能解决整体工人健康原则，也不符合年轻工人相对较高的技术期望。本文旨在确定面向年轻工人的在线整体工人健康培训的内容和流程。
2012 年夏天，一项在线调查（n = 187）评估了年轻工人在整体工人健康主题和在线培训交付方法方面的行为、知识和态度。
45%的工人表示这是他们的第一份工作；新工人的安全知识得分低于老工人。此外，结果表明，工人们将受益于通过基于技术的手段提供的健康行为干预。
研究结果描述了这一人群的与工作相关的需求，并证明了使用在线培训的效用。
