Specifically, as workers approach retirement and enter the workforce, and studies in blue collar settings. The research proposed is valuable and is expected to be one of the first of its kind in this workplace sector and its interactions with psychosocial safety and ageism. As Okechuwu et al. (2014) states, "issue for occupational-related studies is that most samples are drawn from whitecollar settings…few studies of workplace injustice…have been of blue-collar workers''. This research is vital to create data of workplace ageism health effects to lead to reform in blue collar workplace policies regarding bullying, namely for male dominated workplaces that have the potential to present toxic masculinity. As the seminal research on psychosocial safety in the workplace, Leymann (1990), states "further research will need to find ways of improving the psychiatric anamneses so that its social sector is given a more reasonable level of diagnostic weight." Improving the psychiatric understanding of workplace bullying to have an understanding of diagnostic indicators in these circumstances to create prevention measures is done by conducting research like this. Workplace ageism has been studied in white collar settings but ageism between coworkers has also not been widely studied. This is stated by Bae & Choi (2023) and followed up by saying it would behoove workplaces "to implement diversity training with a focus on ageism as part of on-the-job training" which can help prevent this bullying. The data this study aims to collect will show evidence of the significance of this problem to indicate training should occur. As Cebola et al. (2021) notes, "there are hardly any studies on ageism…consequently, there is a lack of accurate information for institutions and organizations to develop policies and practices to fight against ageism". This is further exacerbated in blue collar workplaces as white collar "professionals were less likely to be exposed to any hazards compared to associate professionals/technicians, clerks/service workers, and blue-collar workers" and little research has been done on these workers who face more exposure. Workplace bullying "results in severe psychological and occupational consequences for the victim" (Leymann, 1990) but blue collar workplaces have been understudied as well as ageism, a problem this study will work to ameliorate through data creation. This study aims to fill this gap in how workers in blue collar settings perpetrate and experience workplace ageism and also aims to show the consequences of this workplace bullying in adverse effects to work quality, workplace temperament, mental, emotional, and even physical health. The significance of this study is its novelty in focus on ageism's intersection in blue collar workplace bullying. This could create data to utilize in initiating workplace psychosocial safety policies in workplaces. These workplaces are often overlooked and not as studied, this study proposes to change that and provide detailed evidence that blue collar workers experience this workplace bullying and as an often male dominated environment is compounded with toxic masculinity. The study is anonymous for participants and companies as a result. This study could open the door to more studies of its kind by bringing awareness to a relevant and unreported demographic and issue in workplace psychosocial safety. Research questions asked are: Does one age experience/perpetuate ageism most often? What are the relative ages? How does ageism present in blue collar workplaces? In what ways has the victims' well-being been affected? Does ageism influence tenure?
