The new & young worker

When it comes to New and Young Worker Training, employers are required to orientate and train all workers

"before" work begins, on safe work procedures, and hazards related to the job. But the term "new worker" isn't

as obvious as it seems. In this case study, we will define what it is to be a new or young worker and the

training required.

As a group, discuss the following:

1. Until what age are you considered a young worker, under WSBC Regulation?

2. If an employee - who has worked for a company for many years - is relocated to a different department,

are they, by WSBC definition, considered a new worker, and should they have to undergo safety

orientation and safe work procedure training again, and why?

3. If you leave a company, and a few months later get re-hired for the exact same job position, are you

considered a new worker, and what type of training should follow?

4. As a group, discuss the importance of young worker training, and list how and why it differs from the mature worker's needs?

5. When putting together a training plan for new or young workers, what topics should be included in the

training?

6. What is the KEY takeaway your group has learned from this case study?
