Risky Business

Working during the summer is better that sitting around, you can meet new people learn a lot of things from it. But there is always danger involved with working, even if the jobs that don’t seem like they can cause injuries. In fact, “there is about 70 teens die each year of work related injuries and ten thousands that visit the emergency room”, says Robert Nester, a registered nurse and health scientist. There are a lot of dangers in work that would let you run to the hospital, for example working at a restaurant, encounters slip and fall injuries and also burns that can send you to the hospital. An outdoor job can be fatal too, exposed to the sun everyday. You should think twice, because there are also some injuries involved like communicable diseases, sunburn, heat exhaustion and dehydration. Just make sure you drink plenty of water before heading out into the sun. Heavy Machinery job can cause a lot of injuries, even exposed to the sun and also working with tools that can leave a scar. Yes, it is great for moneymakers but be careful for what you accepted, because there is a lot of involvement with dust, handling sharp objects, and protecting your eyes.
