Ensuring Teen Safety at Work

Are Teens Safe at Work?

Do teenagers understand workplace safety? Consider these insights from the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH):

- Employment Statistics: Around 45% of American teens work each year, the highest rate among developed countries.

- Injury Rates: Every summer, over three million U.S. teens join the workforce. Unfortunately, thousands end up in emergency rooms due to work-related injuries.

- Injury and Fatality Figures: Nearly 200,000 adolescents are injured on the job annually, with approximately 70 fatalities. Teens have the highest rate of nonfatal work injuries despite facing similar hazards as adults.

- Reasons for Accidents: Factors such as lack of experience, inadequate laws and enforcement, untrained supervisors, and physical limitations contribute to these accidents. Immaturity and distraction can also play a role.

- High-Risk Environments: Most teen worker fatalities and injuries occur in retail stores and restaurants.

- Common Hazards: Teens face risks from operating machinery, working in high-homicide industries like retail, dealing with electrical or hot equipment, facing fall hazards, and performing manual lifting tasks.

By understanding these risks and taking precautions, both teens and their employers can work towards a safer workplace for young employees.
