Younger workers: Health and safety aspects of working life 11.08.2011
Younger workers are vulnerable, as they often are inexperienced, and ignorant of risks to themselves and others. It is important to integrate safety and health into education so that young people are aware of the risks they might face and are capable of dealing with them. It is also important for employers to pay extra attention to the safety of young workers, including students taking summer jobs.
EU-OSHA highlighted some of these aspects in a blog produced for International Youth Day on the 12th August
