Physical and cognitive limitations

• Work is more dangerous for young people because they’ve simply had less time to become aware of many common workplace hazards than their older co-workers.
• It’s also important to remember that bodies and brains continue to develop well into adulthood – up to age 25.
• In addition to physical changes that occur during adolescence, the brain is also developing and restructuring into early adulthood.
• They also engage in risky behaviors both on and off the job that may affect their performance at work.

Weaker protections in some states

• Duvan Tomas Perez, for example, died on the job while cleaning machinery in the Mar-Jac Poultry plant in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, in August 2023.
• So was Michael Schuls, who died in June 2023 while attempting to unjam a wood-stacking machine at Florence Hardwoods, a Wisconsin lumber company.
• The Labor Department found 4,474 children employed in violation of federal child labor laws between Oct. 1, 2022, and July 20, 2023.
• Employers, including McDonald’s and Sonic fast-food franchisees, owed more than $6.6 million in penalties as a result.

3 steps employers can take

• In addition to following the law, I believe that employers and supervisors need to address the unique risks to young workers by taking these necessary steps: • Provide training on how to do tasks safely and supervise young workers until key tasks have been mastered.
• Remember that young workers often learn by watching their bosses and co-workers, whose actions can reinforce safety expectations and build a culture of safety.
• • Take into account a worker’s abilities when assigning tasks, and check in on them regularly, especially when switching tasks.
