OUR COMMITMENT TO YOUNG WORKERS

Young Workers Stand T.A.L.L. encourages young workers to seek assistance when needed to protect themselves from danger and to share with others information about worker safety.

Young Workers are particularly vulnerable to workplace hazards. Often they are unaware of the dangers and do not yet possess the decision making skills to accurately respond to a hazardous situation. Their desire to please an employer often prevents them from asking questions & seeking help. Not only do they need to understand the hazards, and what they can do to protect themselves, but they need to be empowered to speak up when they feel uncomfortable.
