Abstract: Diagnostic radiography (DR) students undertake work integrated learning in a clinical environment as a requirement of their program. Recent investigation of young workers aged 15-24, identified this group as vulnerable to a wide range of work health and safety (WHS) complications and of decreased likelihood to report injuries. This review aimed to identify the WHS issues reported by DR students along with the underlying causes. A systematic review was undertaken including other allied health professions to evaluate potential WHS issues. This review was conducted to identify relevant literature from January 1993 to April 2020. Unexpectedly psychological WHS concerns related to emotional wellbeing and the quality of placement experience were more prevalent than physical injury. The underlying causes were complex and related to organizational support and the educational pedagogy adopted in diagnostic radiography. Recommendations include engaging with key stakeholders including students, clinical placement providers and tertiary institutions.
