To better reach out young workers in the country, the ILO and its partners have developed and launched communication tools in the forms of online OSH platform and game board.
The establishment of this interactive communications platform is also marked the continuous efforts taken by Indonesia, with support of the ILO, in promoting OSH awareness and culture prevention for young people in the country."

Together with the ILO, we have tested the OSHNopoly and we have received good responses. They all said that they can easily understand OSH related issues by playing the game."

Aspirations of young workers about OSH
The event was concluded with an interactive talkshow with young workers representing a young employer, a young creative worker, a young unionist and a young university student as a future worker. The talkshow concluded with the notion that most of young workers still lack of understanding and awareness related to OSH while performing the jobs and professions.“Most businesses run by a young employer like me still have a lack of understanding about OSH and the importance of OSH for businesses. Through discussions like this would help us better implementing OSH in our businesses and taking the benefits from the OSH prevention culture in our workplace,” said Ahmad Alviansyah, 24 years old, a young employer in a shoe cleaning business.
We do not even realize that long working hours are considered as occupational hazards. We take this as our dedication to work."

Dini Rahmawati, a young unionist, has been active in disseminating information related to OSH to young workers. “I learnt that young workers could be so ignorant about issues related to OSH. That is why I tried to approach young workers in my circle and raise their awareness that when we talk about jobs, the main issues are not only about wages and benefits, but also working conditions and OSH,” she explained.
A video blog or vlog on OSH can be effective to reach out to youth and young workers. Other way includes the appointment of young OSH ambassador – an influencer with a high number of young followers can be selected as he or she can better communicate these issues to his or her followers and other young people."

The event was conducted by The ILO’s Youth4OSH programme aims to reduce workplace injuries, fatalities and occupational diseases through inculcating a preventive safety and health culture among young workers and young employers. The programme is supported by the US Council for International Business (USCIB).
