 Young people are likely to be new to the workplace and so are at more risk of injury in the first six months of a job, as they may be 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
- 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
- lone workers
- new and expectant mothers

The worker was clearing debris from manholes at a house-build construction site when a colleague was asked if he could move the work van to allow another vehicle to pass. However, he was not aware that the worker was lying on the road with his head and torso in a manhole, directly in front of the van. As the vehicle moved forwards one of the wheels entered the top of the manhole and made contact with the victim, who was taken to hospital but later died as a result of serious crush injuries.
