"Our message is that we all share responsibility for protecting young people at work. Employers have a duty of care and are legally responsible for the health and safety of their workers, and EU law recognises that young people need special protection. But this is also an issue for parents, for health and safety professionals, and for the education community. And ultimately, it's an issue for policymakers. We all have to work together, to make sure that young people have a safe and healthy start to their working lives."
