Students at Sedro-Woolley High School heard from Matt Pomerinke, who shared his personal story of a life-changing workplace injury and a message centered on safety, awareness, and speaking up.
Matt, of Longview, Washington, was working at a lumber mill when his arm was caught in an unguarded conveyor drive chain. The injury ultimately led to the amputation of his arm just below the elbow. Today, he travels across the state as part of the Washington State Department of Labor & Industries Injured Young Workers Speakers Program, sharing his experience with students and young workers ages 16 to 24.
His goal is simple: prevent another young person from becoming a statistic.
In Washington, three young workers are injured every hour. Research shows that young workers are more likely to be injured on the job than adults, especially when they are new to the workforce. Despite this, many young workers and families assume that common jobs—like those in restaurants or retail—are inherently safe. In reality, hazards such as burns, falls, and equipment injuries can exist in any workplace.
To raise awareness, the Department of Labor & Industries created the Injured Young Workers Speakers Program. Since launching in 2008, the program has reached more than 60,000 students across Washington. What began in just five schools now brings presentations to dozens of schools, colleges, and workplaces each year—reaching thousands of young people annually. Each presentation includes a video with reenactments of real workplace accidents involving teens, followed by a speaker like Matt sharing their lived experience.
During his visit, Matt encouraged students to remember three key messages:
• Figure out what you want to come home to. Work is a way to support the life you live outside of it.
• Get all the training you can. Ask questions, even if it feels uncomfortable. Learn your job.
• Look out for one another. Every workplace has hazards, and speaking up can help keep others safe.
He also emphasized the importance of reporting injuries. Speaking up not only helps ensure proper care, but can also prevent someone else from getting hurt.
This is an important conversation for young people looking to enter the workforce this summer. Safety is never guaranteed—but awareness, training, and the willingness to speak up can make all the difference.
