WorkSafe SmartMove is an online educational platform developed by WorkSafe Western Australia as part of the SafetyLine initiative to introduce general concepts of WHS to young people. Participating in SmartMove is free of charge.
Young people often feel vulnerable in new jobs. They may face many physical and mental health challenges, particularly during the transition from school to work. Lack of knowledge, skills and experience combined with a desire to work hard exposes them to a higher risk of being hurt. WorkSafe SmartMove offers young people a chance to learn about potential dangers and be aware of their duties, rights and responsibilities in the workplace. Learning the general concepts of work health and safety (WHS) and the types of hazards commonly found in each specific industry early will enable young people to manage their workplace risks effectively.
