Those on work experience and those getting on-the-job training

Everyone in a workplace is entitled to feel and remain safe.

Some people do unpaid work in a workplace so that they can get some practical work experience or so that they can be trained in a skill by doing an actual job that requires it.

Both of these groups are entitled to be treated for safety purposes as if they were employees. This means that they have most of the same rights as employees and that the employer must keep them safe.

The only right that they don't enjoy is the right to formally participate in health and safety issues but there is nothing to stop an employer letting them participate.
