“…In 2014, about 2.5 million people were hospitalized for injuries, and almost 27 million people were treated for injuries in an Emergency Department (ED) (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2017b). Demographic disparities exist in the distribution of injury incidence and severity in diverse populations by age, gender, race, occupation/job title or industry, socioeconomic status indicators, and geographic factors (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2015b; Laberge & Ledoux, 2011; Laberge et al, 2011; Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2003; Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2010; Shendell et al, 2010; Shendell et al, 2012a; Shendell et al, 2012b; Rubenstein et al, 2014; Apostolico & Shendell, 2016; Shendell et al, 2018).…”

“…Career-technical-vocational education (CTE) related injuries are mandated by law, under jurisdiction of New Jersey Department of Education (NJDOE), to be reported to the New Jersey Safe Schools Program (NJ SS) online reporting system. This is the only U.S. State law-based surveillance data for adolescents, a susceptible, vulnerable adolescent sub-population (Shendell et al, 2010; Shendell et al, 2012a; Shendell et al, 2012b; Rubenstein et al, 2014; Apostolico & Shendell, 2016; Shendell et al, 2018). To date, reported injuries are generally less severe, e.g., cases of permanent disability or death are rare (Shendell et al, 2010; Shendell et al, 2012a; Shendell et al, 2012b).…”

Background Workplace injuries are a public health concern, including among adolescents and young adults. Secondary school career-technical-vocational education related injuries are mandated by code under jurisdiction of New Jersey Department of Education to be reported online to New Jersey Safe Schools Program. These are the only U.S. law-based surveillance data for young workers in secondary school career-technical-vocational education. New Jersey Department of Health’s hospitalization and fatality records provide additional information about other secondary school career-technical-vocational education and non- secondary school career-technical-vocational education related injuries not necessarily reported to New Jersey Safe Schools Program. This report compared data available to the New Jersey Department of Health and New Jersey Safe Schools Program on injuries among young workers ages 14–21 years. Methods Annual work-related hospitalizations, 2007–2016, were abstracted from hospital discharge data. Denominator data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics was used to estimate annual crude rate of hospitalizations per 100,000 employed persons. Hospitalization rates were stratified by demographic data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Hospitalization rates for primary diagnoses and job title/status with ≥2 documented cases were reported. Annual crude fatality rates per 100,000 full time equivalent workers, age ≥ 16 years, were estimated for 1990–2016 using annual average full time equivalent workers and the U.S. National Institute Occupational Safety and Health’s Employed Labor Force Query System as denominator. Results Annual crude hospitalization rates decreased over time. Hospitalization and fatality rates were higher among young adult workers ages 19–21 years; non-Hispanic Whites; and, males. Percent fatality for ages 19–21 years was greater than ages 14–17 years and 18 years. Declines in hospitalization rates corresponded to decreases in reported injuries among career-technical-vocational education students. Age distribution varied slightly between hospital discharge data and New Jersey Safe Schools Program data. Conclusion Hospitalization and fatality rates were higher among males than among females, possibly reflecting a tendency for males to engage in riskier jobs than females. Understanding injury disparities can inform public health prevention efforts. Trainings/interventions should aim at addressing the most frequently diagnosed conditions or nature of reported injuries, within those most impacted career clusters like sales/restaurant workers.

Background. Occupational health and safety is one of the most important aspects of human concern. The Aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of educational intervention about occupational safety on knowledge and practice of male students in technical mechanical secondary schools in El-Behira governorate. Hypothesis: Technical Mechanical secondary school male students who engage in occupational safety intervention will demonstrate higher level of knowledge and practice than those who are not . Material and Methods: Quasiexperimental pre/post-test research design. Settings: the study was conducted in four technical mechanical secondary schools in El-Behira governorate. Subjects: the study was carried on 280 students (140 were cases and 140 were control).Data collection tools: data were collected using three tools: structured self-administered questionnaire, Students' knowledge regarding occupational safety and observation check list regarding safety measures practices in the training workshops.Results: conveyed that less than half (46.4%, 47.9%) of both the study and the control group respectively were aged between 16 to less than 17 years. All the study group and the control one had poor knowledge regarding occupational health and safety before conduction of the educational intervention, whereas after implementation of the educational intervention, more than three quarters of the study group (85.7%) had good knowledge whereas the vast majority of the control group (99.3%) still had poor knowledge . There was a statistically significant relation between the department and the total knowledge score of the study group (X 2 = 14.150 , P=0.007*).Conclusion: The educational program is successful in attaining its aim of positively improving knowledge, and practice of the study group about Occupational Health and Safety.Recommendations: this study recommend the necessity of provision of personal protective equipment to the students in the school workshops and integrating occupational safety topics in their curriculum.
