Q. My teenager has his first job in a restaurant this summer. Do you know of any safety tips for youth summer jobs?
A. Yes. Many teens' first work experience is in the restaurant industry. Restaurants and other eating and drinking businesses employ 11.6 million people in the United States. Nearly 30% of these employees are under 20 years of age.
OSHA is providing an eTool to help youth working in the restaurant industry to be safe and healthy on the job. This eTool* describes common hazards and potential safety solutions for teen workers and employers in the restaurant industry.
It also provides safety tips for youth working construction jobs, landscaping, life guarding, parks & rec, and farm work.
