Is it any surprise teens are more likely to be injured, whether at work, driving, at school etc? Not saying employers don’t have a responsibility to ensure proper workspace safety, but I’d argue teens in general due to lack of life experience and being dictated more by impulse puts them at a higher risk of injury, in any situation.
Thank you for the article. I do agree that teens are high risk behavior prone but proper safeguards at summer jobs should alleviate most of the risks. It is a greater risk to not employ teens and have them do nothing.
