OSHA Launches Youth Job Safety Campaign
ST. LOUIS, MO, (SLFP.com), April 22, 2007 - Assistant Secretary of Labor for Occupational Safety and Health (OSHA) Edwin G. Foulke Jr. and key construction industry stakeholders teamed up to launch OSHA's national 2007 Teen Summer Job Safety Campaign to help keep teenagers safe and healthy on the job.
In a statement, Foulke said, "OSHA has a strong and long-standing relationship with the construction community. Through this campaign, we hope to instill a culture of safety and health at a young age in America's next generation of employees. We look forward to working with this country's construction safety and health leaders to further our goal of ensuring teenagers learn lifelong habits that allow them to go home safe and healthy at the end of the day."
Through the campaign, OSHA, in collaboration with the agency's 13 national and numerous regional construction industry-related alliances, will provide information on working safely and avoiding construction hazards.
Now in the second of a five-year campaign, OSHA is striving to reduce work-related injuries among teenagers by teaching them on-the-job safety and how to integrate safety principles into their work from the beginning.
The campaign highlights the Department of Labor's YouthRules! Initiative, which is designed to bring teenagers, parents, educators, employers, government, unions and advocacy groups together to ensure youth have safe and rewarding work experiences.
