I think it might mean that they go from being students, and not technically subject to the requirement s of OSHA, to being employees, who are subject to those requirements. Students can’t be “fired” for non-co mpliance with safety rules. There may be consequences but eventually, students will get their degrees and take bad habits with them into industr y.
Does this make sense?

I think that (some/ma ny) students do not take safety seriously or perhaps do not see it as a per sonal responsibility.

It is also
very helpful to us out in the "world" if students are trained to
observe safety practices that will be required when they get to us. A whole
new set of rules kick in when they go from being
"students" to being "employees".
To borrow a term from my Army d ays - "train the same way that you will fight".
