Impact of initial OSH training among the under-30s

In the period of transition from school to work, under-25s are more vulnerable to occupational accident risks due to them being both young and new to their jobs. In view of this overly high accident rate, prevention for this population has been focused on teaching occupational safety and health (OSH). In France, OSH teaching has been the subject of a partnership between the French Ministry of Education and the French National Health Insurance Fund for Salaried Workers (CNAM-TS) since 1993. INRS takes part in defining the OSH skills in consultative occupational committees of the Ministry of National Education. However, so far, the impact of such teaching on the occurrence of occupational accidents has not been assessed.
