Work Permits Needed If you are under the age of 18 and have not yet graduated from High School, you must have a valid work permit. You can get this at our school from Pam G. (754-0532, ext. 238) or Dana. (ext.0). WORK PERMITS Here are some thoughts about teen employment… Teens get hurt when: • they take on jobs for which they’re not trained • they don’t have appropriate supervision, or • they work with dangerous equipment. High hazard jobs for youth include handling cash late at night in stores or fast food operations, especially when alone; working around hot oil or grease in restaurants; or working at heights in construction jobs. Driving is one of the leading causes of job injury and death among 16- and 17-year old workers, even though federal law prohibits driving as an occupation for those under 18. Selling candy and other consumer goods door-to-door and on the street is also hazardous to youth, with increased risk of motor vehicle injury and vulnerability to assaults and abductions.
