Questions 1 – 5 Important Points If teens work in Oklahoma, they have to be paid the minimum wage of $7.25 per hour regardless of age. FLSA covers workplace rights to include minimum wage, overtime, record-keeping and child labor. OSHA helps employers and employees reduce on-the- job injuries, illnesses and deaths. Keep in mind the differences between state laws and federal laws. Also keep in mind that laws vary from state to state.
86
Questions 6 – 10 Important Points Recognize that hazards exist in the workplace. Differentiate between various categories (types) of workplace hazards. Identify ways to get information about chemicals used at work. Explain that some workplace hazards are obvious, but others are not.
87
Questions 11 – 18 Important Points If young workers are hurt or injured on the job, the employer is obligated by law to cover their medical expenses. What appears to be a minor injury may eventually result in long-term affects in the future. Various agencies are in place to protect employees when it comes to assaults, discrimination or harassment, unsafe working conditions, unpaid wages, etc. Youth employment laws regulate legal age, work permit process, hours & times standards, breaks, and permitted & prohibited occupations.
88
Questions 19 – 20 Important Points One death is one too many when talking about young workers (under 18) killed in the workplace. Each year in the United States, an average of 200,000 minors under 18 are injured at work. 77,000 cases are serious injuries requiring ER treatment Equates to one teen injured on job every 9 minutes 70 cases are fatal Equates to one teen killed on the job every 5 days By law, teen workers have 4 basic rights as specified by OSHA.
