WBL workshop #3 Child Labor Laws and Workplace Safety

        When wanting to work, students sometimes only think the money they will earn but do not realize some of the things they do are safe for them.For instance, minors (under 18) can do anything except farm work,newspaper carrier and street trades. If students do work during school hours they may only work 4 hours on days preceding school and 8 hours on Fridays' Saturdays and Sundays and on holidays. But there maximum number of hours they can work is 28 hours a week. Students cannot work during school hours.Students who work during school hours may only work 4 hours after school.  In addition, a student should know when there work can be dangerous if they are made to slice meat or bread, use power tools, work on a roof,manufacture brick or tile, or drive a four wheel vechile. It is important to know the amount of hours that can be worked and which activities people should exclude from because due to a report over 200,00 young workers get hurt during their job this year. Many students should not only care about the amount they are going to get payed. Students should be aware and told about the rights they have, no boss should take advantage of a student. If a students boss is taking advantage of a person, they must alert their teacher or guidance because a students safety comes first. However, students may work more hours during school break.
