Public Awareness Campaign Focuses on Construction

Assistant Secretary of Labor for Occupational Safety and Health Edwin G. Foulke, Jr., will launch OSHA's 2007 Teen Summer Job Safety Campaign during an April 17 event at Thomas Edison High School of Technology in Silver Spring, Md. This year's theme is "Construction: Build a Safe Work Foundation." The 2007 campaign is part of a multi-year project to increase awareness about workplace hazards for young employees and their parents. It focuses on industries in which young people are likely to work during their high school and college years.
