Jun 02, 2004 -- Teens getting injured on the job

If you have teenagers and they’re planning to work this summer, it would be a good idea to talk with your teen about the dangers on the job. Teens tend to think they’re invincible, and the topic of injury on the job doesn’t get much press. According to Newsweek, 70,000 teens will end up in hospitals this year because of on-the-job injuries. The government is working on laws that will limit what kind of summer jobs teens can do, so that they don’t get hurt as much. In the meantime, it’s up to parents to get the message through about job safety. Choose your message and the time wisely, but they will listen to you.
