Restaurants (other than fast food) were the most frequently reported work setting. The most reported workplace hazards included noise exposure and contact with hot liquids\/surfaces. Twenty percent of working students experienced injury at work; some injuries were severe enough to limit students' normal activities for &gt;3 days (30%) or require medical attention (44%). Men had significantly higher prevalence of injuries (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.05) and near\u2010misses (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.01) at work than women.
