Task 2 Week 8

In the article I read it talks about different injuries teens can go through while working in a fast food restaurant or just a restaurant. It mainly talks about how you have the right top be safe and get health and safety training. I was reading of how three of the most hazards can happen and they were slippery floors, sharp objects, and hot cooking equipment at a restaurant. You can easily get cut with a knife and slip on the floors, you never know.
I also learned that teens at certain ages have different work hours required by the law, and coming to a younger age the laws get stricter. Like 14 to 15 year old teens can not cook or bake at a job, they can not do construction work or manufactured jobs. And for teens older than 15 the rules are more flexible but then again are safeties. Under the age of 18 you can not drive a motor vehicle, not even a meat packing job. I have learned that some employers do not follow these rules, even if it is for teen’s safety.

It's unfortunate that some employers do not follow the law, but at least there are laws now for teens that employers are supposed to follow.

Good thorough post. 10/10 points
