A. Definitions
Automatic Elevator
-a passenger elevator,
				  freight elevator, or a combination freight-passenger elevator. Such elevator is
				  controlled by pushbuttons in such a manner that starting, stopping, going to a
				  landing and holding, and opening and closing car and hoistway doors is entirely
				  automatic.
Automatic Signal Operation Elevator
-an
				  elevator which is started in response to operation of a switch in the car
				  which, when operated by the operator, actuates a starting device which
				  automatically closes the car and hoistway doors, controls movement of the car
				  to a selected landing, holds it when it arrives, and automatically opens the
				  car and hoistway doors.
Crane
-a power-driven machine used for
				  lifting and lowering a load and moving it horizontally. The hoisting mechanism
				  is an integral part of the machine. Included are cantilever gantry, crawler,
				  gantry, hammerhead, ingot-pouring, locomotive, motor truck, overhead traveling,
				  pillar jib, pintle, portal, semi-gantry, semi-portal, storage bridge, tower,
				  walking jib, and wall cranes.
Derrick
-a power-driven apparatus which
				  consists of a mast or equivalent members held at the top by guys or braces,
				  with or without a boom, for use with a hoisting mechanism and operating ropes.
				  All types of derricks are included, such as A-frame, breast, Chicago boom,
				  gin-pole, guy, and stiff leg derricks.
Elevator
-any power-driven hoisting or
				  lowering mechanism equipped with a car or platform which moves in guides in a
				  substantially vertical direction. Both passenger and freight elevators are
				  included (also portable elevators and tiering machines). Dumbwaiters are not
				  included.
High-Lift Truck
-a power-driven industrial
				  type truck used for lateral transportation, and is equipped with a
				  power-lifting device, usually in the form of a fork or platform capable of
				  tiering loaded pallets one above the other. Instead of a fork or platform, the
				  lifting device may consist of a ram, shovel, scoop, crane, revolving fork, or
				  other attachments for handling specific loads. Such trucks may be known as
				  forklifts, fork trucks, tiering or stacking trucks, front-end loaders, or
				  graders. Not included are low-lift, or low-lift platform trucks which are
				  designed for transportation of, but not tiering of, materials.
Hoist
-any power driven apparatus used for
				  raising or lowering a load by application of a pulling force. This includes all
				  types of hoists, such as base-mounted electric, clevis suspension, hood
				  suspension, monorail, overhead electric, simple drum, and trolley suspension
				  hoists.
Manlift
-a device which is intended for
				  conveyance of persons. It consists of platforms or brackets mounted on, or
				  attached to, an endless belt, cable, chain, or similar suspension device. Such
				  chain device operates in a substantially vertical direction, and is supported
				  by, and driven through pulleys, sheaves, or sprockets at top and bottom.
B. Prohibited Occupations. The
				following occupations are prohibited for minors:
1. operating a crane, derrick, elevator,
				hoist, or high-lift truck;
2. work
				which involves riding in a manlift or on a freight elevator, except a freight
				elevator operated by an assigned operator;
3. assisting in operation of a crane, derrick
				or hoist; or in work performed by crane;
4. hookers, crane chasers, hookers-on,
				riggers, rigger helper, and similar occupations.
