Every Day in the USA...
• 9,000 U.S. workers sustain disabling injuries
• 16 die from a work injury
• 137 die from work-related illnesses
![Page 11: M-DCPS and NIOSH: Partnering to Promote Life Skills for Safe and Healthy Work May 9, 2014](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5681640e550346895dd5b7e3/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Economic & Societal Burden (2007)
$263 Billion (total)$6 Billion (fatal injuries)$196 Billion (nonfatal injuries)$48 Billion (fatal illness)$13 Billion (nonfatal illness)
This amount exceeds the individual cost of cancer, coronary heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. Leigh JP. Economic Burden of Occupational Injury and Illness in the
United States, Milbank Quarterly 2011. 89(4):728–772.

Working Youth at Higher Risk
In the United States:• A young worker is injured on the job every
minute. • Youth age 15–24 years are injured at work at
twice the rate of adults.• Job injuries for youth (up to age 19) have an
annual cost of $5 billion.

Mission Statement
Before they join the U.S. workforce for the first time, or start a new job, all workers will have the basic skills they need to stay safe at work and to contribute to a safe, healthy, and productive workplace.
![Page 14: M-DCPS and NIOSH: Partnering to Promote Life Skills for Safe and Healthy Work May 9, 2014](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5681640e550346895dd5b7e3/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Achieving our MissionPromote foundational, workplace health and safety knowledge and skills through:• Middle and high schools
– M-DCPS partnership • Youth development organizations• Temporary employment agencies• National work training programs• Community colleges
![Page 15: M-DCPS and NIOSH: Partnering to Promote Life Skills for Safe and Healthy Work May 9, 2014](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5681640e550346895dd5b7e3/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Skills for Life
Workplace health and safety knowledge and skills (risk prevention and control) help people:• Reduce risks for job-related injury and illness• Enable "a ready worker" to be skilled, safe,
and healthy
These skills are missing from the work readiness frameworks.

Eight Core Competencies1. Recognize that, while work has benefits, all
workers can be injured, become sick, or even be killed on the job. Workers need to know how workplace risks can affect their lives and their families
2. Recognize that work-related injuries and illnesses are predictable and can be prevented

Core Competencies (cont.)3. Identify hazards at work and predict how
workers can be injured or made sick 4. Recognize how to prevent injury and illness.
Describe the best ways to address workplace hazards and apply these concepts to specific workplace problems
5. Identify emergencies at work and decide on the best ways to address them

Teen Worker Injury Statistics About 1.6 million U.S. teens (ages 15–17) work.
About half of 10th graders work, and three out of four of 12th graders have jobs.
Many youths are hurt on the job. On average, each year
• Nearly 60,000 workers younger than 18 go to the ER after being hurt on the job. The number of teens hurt on the job is much higher than that.
• 37 workers younger than 18 die on the job.• Young workers have twice the chance of being
hurt than adult workers. NIOSH 2010 www.cdc.gov/niosh/topics/youth/chartpackage.html

Teen Worker Injury Statistics
Where Teens Are Hurt on the Job:% of total workers, aged 15–17, per industry
*Includes restaurants. These data are for injuries that require at least one day away from work. They do not include youth who work on small farms, work for government agencies, or are self-employed. Source: NIOSH / CDC 2009 (www.cdc.gov/niosh/topics/youth/chartpackage.html)
![Page 41: M-DCPS and NIOSH: Partnering to Promote Life Skills for Safe and Healthy Work May 9, 2014](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5681640e550346895dd5b7e3/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Know Your Rights: Key Points
Federal and state labor laws protect teens from: Hazardous jobs. Working too long, too late, or too early.
OSHA says every employer must give workers: A safe workplace. Safety training on certain hazards (when
required). Safety equipment (when required).
By law, your employer is not allowed to punish or fire you for reporting a safety problem at work!
![Page 42: M-DCPS and NIOSH: Partnering to Promote Life Skills for Safe and Healthy Work May 9, 2014](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5681640e550346895dd5b7e3/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Know Your Responsibilities: Key Points
Know and follow all safety and health rules. Follow safe work practices. Know what to do in an emergency Report all injuries. Get first aid right away. Stay tuned in to surroundings. Be careful, don’t
take chances Avoid horseplay or risky behavior Stay sober and drug-free.
![Page 43: M-DCPS and NIOSH: Partnering to Promote Life Skills for Safe and Healthy Work May 9, 2014](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5681640e550346895dd5b7e3/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Know Your Responsibilities (cont’d)
Ask Questions: What job safety training will I get? What hazards should I expect? What are the emergency plans for this worksite? Will I need to wear safety gear? If so, how do I
use it? Who can I talk to about my health and safety
concerns? What should I do if I’m hurt on the job?
