Sažetak
Vocational secondary education aims to ensure the acquisition of competencies required for the labor market. Young workers are in accordance with the Occupational Health and Safety Act particularly vulnerable group of employees. Because of their inexperience, lack of practical knowledge, lack of awareness about safety and health risks, the inadequate supervision by experienced workers, young workers get injured more often than others. For this reasons the employer shall be obliged to provide special occupational health and safety for this group for the purpose of preserving his unimpaired mental and physical development. For the purpose of minors’ safety and health protection at work, the employer shall be obliged to adjust conditions and working time organization. Objectives: Students, as future young workers to be, in the framework of educational program, learn about safety at work and gain their first practical experience in the practical workshops in school as well as in employer’s workshops. Are they ready to work to work independently from the standpoint of OSH?! Have they developed safety awareness? Methodology: Study was conducted in twenty eight secondary vocational schools in Croatia in which students study for professions: carpenter, chemical technician, agricultural technician, construction technician, graphic technician and forestry technician. The research was conducted through the questionnaire survey and included total of 896 students with the aim to exam awareness of students on OSH and application of OSH measures in selected schools. Results: The results of the survey indicated the need for additional investment in the development of students' safety culture. As a result of the project Croatian Institute for Health Protection and Safety at Work developed the educational posters for the classrooms and school workshops and educational booklets for young workers entering the labor market.
