| Resumen |
Adolescents and young adults are at elevated risk for a work injury. To obtain more information on this "high risk" group of young workers, young people at youth employment centers across Ontario were asked through an online survey about training, unsafe work conditions, work injuries and safety knowledge. The 1,886 youth who completed the survey reported a medically-attended work injury rate of 14.45 per 100 full-time equivalents. The most common unsafe work conditions were dust, trip hazards and heavy lifting. In addition, many young workers reported using much of their income for living essentials (e.g., rent). This suggests that prevention efforts should target this vulnerable subgroup. Implications of these findings are discussed. |
