Studies: Teens unaware of workplace hazards AP, IndyStar
According to NIOSH, an average of 67 workers under age 18 died from work-related injuries each year from 1992 through 2000. In 1998, an estimated 77,000 required treatment in hospital emergency rooms.
The Institute of Medicine lists the most common injuries suffered by working teens as cuts, bruises, sprains and strains, burns and fractures or dislocations. It also notes the majority of jobs teens work are based in retail shops, restaurants and grocery stores.------------------------------------------- posted 7:41 AM :: reference link ::
