"The Final Rule strengthens child labor laws to protect against workplace hazards. Examples of new prohibitions impacting the employment of youth under the age of 18 years include:
Working at poultry slaughtering and packaging plants.
Riding on a forklift as a passenger, (duh, that isn't safe for ANYONE of any age)
Working in forest fire fighting, forestry services, and timber tract management, (so they can't plant trees?)
Operating power-driven chain saws, wood chippers, reciprocating saws, and abrasive cutting discs. (only effect of this is that a kid at a landscaping company or helping on a house remodel won't learn how to use this stuff correctly)
The rule expands youth workplace opportunities that have been judged to be safe for young workers. Examples include:
By removing a 40-year-old provision that generally limits the employment of 14- and 15-year-olds to jobs in retail, food service, and gasoline service establishments, the rule opens up safe and positive employment opportunities in industries such as advertising, banking, and information technology. (Lots of Madison Ave companies, Big banks and IBM hiring 14 yr olds these days LOL.)
I agree with elmersooner. Too much unnecessary govt intrusion in our lives.
