Hi Jacqui Could try looking at how inexperience and being 'eager to please' place younger persons at risk of injury/harm; also peer pressure, influence etc, old faithful references about this in psychology books don't know if that is any help?

I am undertaking some research and although can find lots of literature guidance from the HSE and European agency etc and legislation. I cant find much in the way of evidence to support this - e.g attitudes and behaviour Any direction or information would be greatly appreciated. Regards to you all in eager anticipation !!
