This WorkSafe ad is a fairly new one but definitely relevant to my own experience. Their ads are pretty intense so this one is pretty tame and non-graphic in comparison, but definitely highlights a lot of the mentality young people are supposed to have when going into the workforce, hence why young people are so easily exploited. Workers are expected to put up with bullying, harassment, unsafe conditions, pressured into overtime and not take breaks because that's what they've been told is normal.
Honestly, I was considering even going down the path of OH&S inspection because of how powerful I thought these ads were as a kid (even though the scarred me a bit and I am still terrified of the bakery bread slicer) but never really looked into it. Nowadays I'm taking mental notes of shitty practices in workplaces… and definitely being let go because I refuse to out myself in danger for a business that hardly contributes anything important. I get called selfish and lazy and whatever. It's not really (hopefully) going to convince me to conform though, even though it's made things tough.
I'm curious as to whether these sorts of ads are played elsewhere. What sort of ads or information do you received about OH&S in your country or state?
Any ads about work safety that you particularly like?
