The Teen Safe Summer Job Social Media Campaign has been postponed due to the focus on COVID-19. However, we have learned of the need for information sharing about training resources for educators who are engaging with students remotely and their parents. As a result, we are morphing the webpage ( KeepTeenWorkersSafe.org) into a resource page which includes;



· Links for youth related materials from:

o OSHA

o NIOSH

o Department of Labor

o National Safety Council

o Young Workers.org

o CPWR

o CareerSafe

· Links for COVID-19 information



Here are some tweets you can use to announce the campaign/materials:

Tweet 1:

Teens work in essential jobs too and all workers have the same right to a safe workplace. Encourage teens to use safe work practices for COVID-19 and to speak up about workplace hazards. www.KeepTeenWorkersSafe.org



Tweet 2:

COVID-19 has increased remote education. Use the educational resources and other materials at www.KeepTeenWorkersSafe.org to help teen workers learn more about staying safe on the job when they return to work.
