Wise Up 2 Work and the chance of an accident at work

Teenagers getting their first toehold in the world of work can be at risk of personal injury from their lack of experience of handling those risks. To help them avoid an accident at work, the IOSH (Institute of Occupational Safety and Health) runs a website called Wise Up 2 Work, or WU2W.

The site outlines the social need that it exists to meet by saying that "Young adults are less skilled and aren't aware of the hazards they'll face. Typically, they also lack the confidence and social skills to challenge those who may ask them to do something that's potentially dangerous."

This site aims to provide learning materials to help young people gain the knowledge, skills and confidence to avoid industrial injury, whether by themselves or through adult involvement. The fully animated interactive area takes the shape of an office that can be explored for 'hotspots' that let the young person learn more about different areas of risk, whether through text, playable games, or a competition (sadly now closed).

To explore the full range of materials available, visit the Wise Up 2 Work website.
