Dave,
There is a definite difference if you look at the stats 15 to 24 year old employees use up a lot of the WorkCover recourses. In the construction industry where the work site has so many risks and the site changes so often, it sometimes comes down to experience to be able to identify these risks. Young employees are on occasions put in to the deep end without the proper inductions and training and are to green to ask. Some supervisors need to be more aware of this and trained to ensure that this is not the case. Hence a policy needs to be introduced and a procedure of how that policy will be actioned put in place. Thanks for your input Dave!
