KAKO MLADIM DELAVCEM PRIBLIŽATI VARNOST IN ZDRAVJE PRI USPOSABLJANJU ZA DELO. (Slovenian)

HOW TO BRING ISSUES OF HEALTH AND SAFETY CLOSER TO YOUNG WORKERS DURING THEIR WORK TRAINING. (English)

The data collected by the European Community indicates that the young, economically active population, aged from 18 to 24 years, is more likely to suffer from occupational injuries and occupational diseases in comparison with the rest of the working population, due to the lack of experience and knowledge about health and safety in the workplace, and insufficient training for safe and healthy work practices. Employers must establish an adequate system to ensure workplace health and safety, with an emphasis on providing safety training for pupils and students undergoing apprenticeship and the newly-employed young people. The Ministry of Labour, Family, Social Affairs and Equal Opportunities runs a series of projects aiming to promote health and safety culture among young people in Slovenia. The goal of the national programme for introducing occupational health and safety into the education process is offering a variety of tools and devices for educators and teachers, which can be employed to introduce the issues of occupational health and safety to young people in an exciting and engaging manner.

Podatki Evropske skupnosti kažejo, da je mlada delovno aktivna populacija v starosti od 18 do 24 let zlasti zaradi pomanjkanja izkušenj in znanja o zagotavljanju varnosti in zdravja pri delu ter nezadostne usposobljenosti za varno in zdravo delo posebej ogrožena v smislu večjega tveganja poškodb pri delu in poklicnih bolezni v primerjavi s preostalo delovno populacijo. Delodajalci morajo vzpostaviti ustrezen sistem za zagotavljanje varnosti in zdravja pri delu s poudarkom na usposabljanju za varno delo dijakov in študentov, ki so na delovni praksi, ter novozaposlenih mladih oseb. Ministrstvo za delo, družino, socialne zadeve in enake možnosti vodi vrsto projektov promocije varnosti in zdravja pri delu, s katerimi si prizadeva spodbuditi kulturo varnosti med mladimi v Sloveniji. Cilj nacionalnega programa uvajanja varnosti in zdravja pri delu v vzgojo in izobraževanje je, da vzgojiteljem in učiteljem ponudi različna orodja in pripomočke, s katerimi bodo lahko mladim na zanimiv način približali varnost in zdravje pri delu.
