Employment can be a rewarding experience.
But, it can be dangerous. This Summer is a project of the U.S. Department of Labor to promote safe summer employment for young workers, like yourself. The U.S. Department of Labor has joined forces again this year with the National Consumers League, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health to take the injury prevention message to employers, teenagers, and parents. If you are seeking employment, interviewing for a position, or performing a job, injury prevention is an important consideration. As many as 200,000 teenagers are injured in the workplace every year and between 60-70 die from occupational injury.
