This report summarizes the information we collected, including the demographics of young workers in California, which laws and agencies protect them in the workplace, what opportunities exist in California’s educational system for increasing health and safety awareness, and what models exist for educating young workers about safety. The report also describes suggestions and insights that health professionals, employers, students, and teachers communicated to us about how to reach young workers with health and safety information. In the final section, we offer both general and specific recommendations for educating young workers about health and safety.
The focus of this report is urban youth. A separate investigation and report would be needed to address the pressing needs of youth engaged in agricultural work.
