One teen sent to emergency every 6 minutes from a workplace injury

During this season of high work activity for teens, some sobering statistics to consider:
Every year, approximately 200,000 teenagers in the United States are injured on the job, and about 70 teens are killed at work. Every six minutes, a teenager is injured seriously enough on the job to require treatment in a hospital emergency room.
Are these numbers acceptable to anyone? Solutions, anyone?
