Many of our students will be searching for their first job this summer. The Department of Labor & Industries (L&I) encourages schools, teenagers, and parents to ensure that young workers are aware of their rights in the workplace and avoid hazardous work that is illegal if they’re under 18 because of safety concerns.
Assist young workers in understanding their rights, encourage them to ask questions, and empower them to refuse hazardous work – www.Lni.wa.gov/Teenworkersafety.
