The Opportunity
Monash University is committed to achieving excellence in research and education, built upon a deep and extensive engagement with the world, to serve the good of our communities and environment. At Monash, we nurture our researchers and their research. In particular, Monash’s Graduate Research program is designed to prepare graduates with the knowledge, skills and abilities to develop a broad range of skills and professional attributes and make an impact in industry, government, community or academia after graduation.
The Monash University Accident Research Centre (MUARC) and its Monash Faculty partners (Art and Design, Engineering, Arts, and Medicine) have, for over three decades, forged enduring and collaborative partnerships with Australian and international industry, government and other organisations which have fostered cutting-edge injury prevention research, and have convincingly established us as world leaders in the field of injury prevention. Our research and associated activities have direct translational impact in safety policy and practice with international reach.
The Project - Young workers (aged 15-19) bring new skills, energy and innovation into a workforce, however, this group has higher injury rates compared with other worker age groups. While Worksafe has implemented a number of initiatives to address young worker health and safety across all industries and during apprenticeships, it has identified the potential to refocus initiatives that incorporate effective communication with young worker groups. This research will examine barriers with previous approaches to develop a framework that informs effective means of communicating health and safety messages using behavioural science methods that will drive behavioural change and lead action for young workers.
