In Canada we have the obligation (right) to turn down unsafe work. Based on this obligation, if this happened here, she would be 50% to blame.

Safety is everyone’s job. The employer has to ensure she is trained by a competent person, and she can’t put herself in harms way.

Of course since she was a young person, she is more likely to do dangerous chit trying to impress her bosses. The serious injury vs age plot is bimodal. Young people new to industry get hurt taking chances and trying to impress. Older experienced folk get hurt because of complacency.

It’s a tragedy regardless. Jobs in this field are highly sought after.
