The harsh reality is that 16 young workers aged between 15 to 25 are injured or even killed each day while working. The good news is that many of these workplace incidences are preventable.

So whether you work full or part time, as a casual, an apprentice or trainee, or just doing work-experience, the Young Workers website is packed with useful occupational health and safety information.

Browse through our Publications for more information and if you still have a question pick up the phone and call WorkCover on 13 10 50. WorkCover staff are here to help - and you can ask questions without leaving any details.

Enjoy your work and keep safe!
