Most young people work at some time during high school. Although working can be a positive experience, it also has risks. The Institute of Medicine's Committee on the Health and Safety Implications of Child Labor reports that 50 percent of youths between ages 15 and 17 work at some time during the course of a year and that 80 percent of students work at least some time during high school. Every year, at least 100,000 of these young people seek treatment in an emergency room for a work-related injury. Every year, at least 70 young people are killed on the job. Young people are injured in the workplace at twice the rate of adult workers. Yet no single agency has the ultimate responsibility for protecting young people from workplace hazards. What is needed is an approach that brings coherence and coordination to this mission. A State team for young worker safety is a coalition of agencies and organizations whose goal is to protect the safety and health of young people in the workplace. The American Heritage Dictionary defines a team as “a group organized to work together.” This definition goes to the heart of the State team approach. A State team is not a committee, taskforce, or blue ribbon panel. State teams do not exist to make recommendations, issue reports, share information, or discuss issues—although they can do all of these. State teams exist to work on concrete projects that protect young people from injuries in the workplace. Over the past 5 years, several of the States in the Northeastern part of the United States have successfully used the State team approach to improve their capacity to protect young workers. “Working Together for Safety: A State Team Approach to Preventing Occupational Injuries to Young People” was developed by EDC with funding from NIOSH. It begins with two case studies that demonstrate the value of the State team approach. The remainder of the document describes the experiences and activities of the State teams in the Northeast; the products developed by the teams for teens, parents, employers, school staff, health care providers, and others who can help protect young people from injury on the job; and key resources for other States interested in creating their own State teams.

Managers everywhere strive to create a safer workplace. There are many benefits to this, the most important being the wellbeing of employees, customers, and the general public. Most of these efforts will focus on identifying the appropriate policies, training, and enforcement mechanisms to ensure that work is performed in the safest manner possible. In It’s All About People!, the author looks at a critical but sometimes overlooked element in achieving a safe workplace: the people. A company may have the most up-to-date policies and a dedicated group of safety professionals who stand ready to implement those policies, but that’s only half of the equation. It’s the old carrot or the stick argument. If the policies are managed, and changes to the safety program come down from on high, employees are unlikely to feel any ownership in the process. With no emotional attachment, employees will comply but put forth little effort to offer improvements. When employees become engaged in creating the safest work environment possible, that moves the gauge. Only then can your company develop a best-in-class safety workplace. It’s All About People! will help you attain that level of engagement. It’s All About People! offers numerous real-life examples of managers and employees working together to improve the safety program. Employees who take ownership think about safety constantly and look for ways to make the workplace safer for themselves and their coworkers. Managers are provided questions to ask themselves to determine if their company has a strong safety culture. What happens if an employee encounters a situation that she thinks is unsafe? How accessible are your company’s safety policies? Are your safety meetings productive or a break from work? The answers will help you identify the opportunities your company has to develop a dynamic safety culture. As with anything involving people, change is challenging. Changing your safety culture can be accomplished, but not without a lot of hard work. It’s All About People! provides a roadmap to make that happen.
