BackgroundAlthough危险的任务青少年工人在服务和零售行业执行的是有据可查的，很少有人知道的程度，年轻工人认识到这些任务作为危险或dangerous.MethodsUsing数据从全国代表性的横截面电话调查进行了2003年，我们调查了858名在零售业或服务业工作的青少年对危险任务的识别。结果约13%（n = 123）的受访者表示，他们认为至少有一项工作任务是危险的。在被调查者谁执行的任务被称为是危险的，很少有人真正认识到这些任务是危险的或dangerous.ConclusionWorking青少年似乎低估了与工作相关的危险，从而增加了潜在的可能性受伤。应强调消除或减少工作场所的危险，同时提高青年工人对他们所从事的许多工作的危险性质的认识。Am.

BackgroundAlthough the hazardous tasks adolescent workers perform in service and retail industries are well documented, little is known about the extent to which young workers recognize these tasks as hazardous or dangerous.MethodsUsing data from a nationally representative cross‐sectional telephone survey conducted in 2003, we examined hazardous task recognition among 858 adolescents working in the retail or service industry.ResultsApproximately 13% (n = 123) of respondents reported that they consider at least one of their job tasks to be hazardous or dangerous. Among the respondents who performed tasks known to be hazardous, very few actually recognized these tasks as being hazardous or dangerous.ConclusionWorking adolescents appear to underestimate the dangers associated with work, thus increasing the potential likelihood of injury. Emphasis should be placed on eliminating or reducing hazards in the workplace while simultaneously improving young workers' recognition of the hazardous nature of many of the tasks they perform. Am.
