Minors under the age of 18 may not work at a job that requires them to drive a motor vehicle, or use power-driven tools used in wood working, baking, sawing, meat slicing, paper products, metal forming or hoisting processes. Examples of hazardous occupations include operating, feeding, or maintenance of meat slicers, paper or cardboard balers, pizza delivery and operating dough mixers. The FLSA also sets standards for child labor in agriculture, which differ from nonfarm jobs. They must work on the same farm as their parents or have written parental consent to work elsewhere. Additional rules and lists of hazardous jobs pertaining to child labor in farm jobs may be obtained from the Wage and Hour office.
Many states have laws setting standards for child labor in agriculture.
When both state and federal child labor laws apply, the law setting the more stringent standard must be observed.
