Many overview articles, reports, book chapters and literature reviews have examined the health and safety of young workers. These sources discuss the relationships between the work conditions of young workers and the various indicators of accidents and occupational diseases. Breslin et al. [12,13] conducted two literature reviews of quantitative studies to determine which factors best predicted work accidents and occupational disorders in young people. The present article proposes a review of young people's occupational health and safety (OHS) factors (e.g., demographic, individual, professional, organizational, temporal and operational factors) in both qualitative and quantitative studies. Five types of problems were analyzed in greater depth, namely MSD symptoms, respiratory, allergy and toxicological problems, mental health and well-being, alcohol and drug consumption, and fatigue. This review likewise examines related dimensions that allow us to adopt a more global perspective on this subject by considering such elements as young people's values, their knowledge and attitudes, safety practices in companies, the safe integration of young people, and rehabilitation. A total of 189 scientific articles were selected on the basis of certain criteria. These articles came from refereed OHS journals published between 1994 and 2005.
许多综述文章、报告、书籍章节和文献综述都探讨了青年工人的健康与安全问题。这些资料讨论了青年工人的工作条件与事故及职业病的各项指标之间的关系。布雷斯林等人[12,13]对定量研究进行了两次文献综述，以确定哪些因素最能预测年轻人的工作事故和职业疾病。本文提议对定性和定量研究中的青年职业健康与安全（OHS）因素（如人口统计学因素、个人因素、职业因素、组织因素、时间因素和操作因素）进行综述。对五类问题进行了更深入的分析，即肌肉骨骼疾病症状、呼吸、过敏和毒理学问题、心理健康与幸福感、酒精和药物消费以及疲劳。本综述同样考察了相关维度，通过考虑青年的价值观、知识和态度、公司的安全实践、青年的安全融入以及康复等因素，使我们能够从更全面的角度看待这一主题。根据某些标准共挑选出189篇科学文章。这些文章来自1994年至2005年间出版的经同行评审的职业健康与安全期刊。
