Young workers face risks beyond construction sites—restaurant kitchens hide severe cuts and burns. In North America, over 27,000 youths under 18 were injured in 2017, with cuts accounting for 20% of cases. Yet, Canada’s lack of injury stats since 2013 obscures the full picture, worsened by underreporting among temporary workers. At OccuSafeServ, with over 20 years of global safety experience, I advocate for awareness.

With over 20 years of global safety experience at OccuSafeServ, I urge asking about coverage and training.
