Data from the National Traumatic Occupational Fatalities surveillance system were used to analyze occupational injury deaths of civilian 16- and 17-year-olds during 1980 through 1989. There were 670 deaths; the rate was 5.11 per 100,000 full-time equivalent workers. The leading causes of death were incidents involving motor vehicles and machines, electrocution, and homicide. Workers 16 and 17 years old appear to be at greater risk than adults for occupational death by electrocution, suffocation, drowning, poisoning, and natural and environmental factors. Improved enforcement of and compliance with federal child labor laws, evaluation of the appropriateness of currently permitted activities, and education are encouraged.
利用国家创伤职业死亡监测系统的数据，对1980年至1989年期间16岁和17岁平民的职业伤害死亡情况进行了分析。共有670人死亡；比率为每10万名全职等效工人中有5.11人死亡。主要死亡原因是涉及机动车和机器的事故、触电和凶杀。16岁和17岁的工人因触电、窒息、溺水、中毒以及自然和环境因素导致职业死亡的风险似乎比成年人更高。鼓励加强联邦童工法的执行和遵守情况，评估当前允许活动的适宜性，并开展教育。
