Afternoon All,

  I wanted to get some thoughts on some of the child labor restrictions.  I
run a shop were we manufacture custom closets.  My question is what, if
anything, can I employ a 16 y/o to do?  I know he cannot operate any of the
machinery at all.  However, can he be employed to move materials, clean the
materials after manufacturing, etc?  I've read through all the restrictions
and it seems to mention very clearly that a 16 y/o cannot operate machinery,
drills, saws, etc but doesn't mention whether they can or cannot perform
other tasks in the same general area where the machinery is located.  Does
anyone have any other references that state a specific restriction or
distance from the prohibited tasks?  Also, any interpretation on what is
specifically meant by "toxic substances"?  We use Goof Off to clean the
excess glue left from the edge banding process.  While we're on the subject
might as well address restrictions for a 16 y/o working on a "construction
site" as well.  We also have a construction business (mostly remodels and
small additions) so can I employ a 16 y/o to again move materials, clean,
etc?

 

Thanks,

 

Ken
