Workplace safety remains a critical concern in the manufacturing sector, where employees are routinely exposed to hazardous conditions, including heavy machinery, extreme temperatures, and chemical risks. Age is a key factor influencing risk-taking behaviors and safety awareness, affecting employees’ ability to assess workplace hazards and comply with safety protocols. This study employs a case study approach to examine how different age groups—young workers (under 30), middle-aged workers (30–45), and older workers (above 45)—navigate workplace risks, adhere to safety regulations, and respond to safety training programs. Drawing on three case studies from distinct manufacturing industries—automotive manufacturing, heavy machinery production, and food processing—this research provides an in-depth exploration of age-related variations in safety compliance and hazard perception. The study reviewed 52 scholarly articles with a total of 216 citations to support the case analysis. Findings reveal that younger workers exhibit higher risk-taking tendencies due to overconfidence and limited workplace experience, while middle-aged employees demonstrate a balanced approach that incorporates
