Young people are especially at risk as they are likely to be new to the workplace and less aware of risks.
When you employ young people under the age of 18, you have the same responsibilities for their health, safety and welfare as you do for other workers.
This applies whether they are a worker, on work experience or an apprentice. Find out more about protecting young people at work.
HSE’s website also has advice and guidance on how to protect other vulnerable workers such as:
- older workers
- gig economy, temporary and agency workers
- new and expectant mothers
