The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) suggests that every nine minutes a young person gets hurt while on the job.
From 1998 to 2007, an average of 795,000 young workers were treated for on-the-job injuries each year in U.S. hospital injury departments3 for nonfatal injuries.
In addition, in 2009, 359 workers under the age of 24 died from work-related injuries, with 27 of those deaths occurring for youth under 18.
