Young
Workers Research Reports
The California
Partnership for Young Worker Health and Safety, with which LOHP
is affiliated, has released a new set of recommendations, "Keeping
California's Youth Safe on the Job." This statewide task force
includes representatives from 25 different agencies and organizations
that play a role in educating or protecting working teens. Recommendations
were developed and revised based on input from Partnership members,
as well from participants in a day-long public forum held in
March 2004, "Young Workers at Risk: Planning for Action." The
33 recommendations highlight policy changes, educational strategies,
and enforcement efforts that would improve the protection of
young workers in California. Click
