Keeping teens safe at work

Keeping teens safe while working should be the highest priority of their employers — just as it is for their parents. They may look mature, but they often have had very little experience with the world of work.

Youth Job Safety Resources

All kinds of materials to help employers, parents and teens learn about how to stay safe while working.

Restaurant Outreach Program

Nearly 50 percent of teens work in retail settings, primarily in restaurants. The most common workplace injuries involve slips and falls, strains and sprains, cuts and burns.
