Examples of Teen Work Injuries John’s Story The Impact of Work Injuries John worked at a fast food restaurant. The floor often got very greasy, and had to be washed a lot. As John walked across the wet floor, carrying a basket of french fries, he slipped. He tried to keep the fries from falling, so he couldn’t break his fall with his hands. He fell on his tailbone and was seriously injured. He is now permanently disabled and has trouble walking. ❝Why do you think this happened?❞ ❝What could have prevented this person from getting hurt?❞ Job: Fast food worker Injury: Slipped on greasy floor Why do you think this happened?

Examples of Teen Work Injuries Keisha’s Story Job: Computer data entry Injury: Repetitive stress injury The Impact of Work Injuries Keisha did much of her homework on the computer and spent time each day e-mailing her friends. In addition, she worked three hours a day after school inputting data for a direct mail company. She was paid by “piece work” (by the amount of work, not the amount of time). She never took breaks. She began getting numbness in her fingers and waking up with a burning sensation in her wrist. Her doctor told her she has severe repetitive stress injury (RSI), in which prolonged typing in an awkward position damages muscles, tendons, and nerves. She now must wear braces on her wrists day and night and can’t work on the computer for more than 15 minutes at a time. Her high school has arranged for someone to take notes in class for her, and when she goes to college she will have to use special software that allows her to dictate rather than type her papers. ❝Why do you think this happened?❞ ❝What could have prevented this person from getting hurt?❞ Why do you think this happened?
