Abstract

Despite the possibility of major under-reporting, young workers are over-represented in injury statistics. Among this group are international students, who constitute a significant and rising proportion of young migrant workers. International students may be at greater risk for occupational injury than their domestic peers because of cultural issues, language barriers, financial pressures and the nature of the work available to them. They represent a vulnerable segment of the workforce. Therefore, there is a need to better understand their risk profile and develop educational interventions to reduce risk.
