| Jackson,
Jackson will:
Assess the risks to young people, under 18 years
old, before they start work. Take into account
their inexperience, lack of awareness of existing
or potential risks and immaturity.
Address specific factors in
the risk assessment.
Provide information to parents
of school-age children about the risk and the
control measures introduced.
Take account of the risk assessment
in determining whether the young person should
be prohibited from certain work activities,
except where they are over MSLA and it is necessary
for their training and:
• Where risks are reduced as far as is
reasonably practicable.
• Where proper supervision
is provided by a competent person.
The assessment of the risks
to the Health and Safety of the young worker
will take into account their inexperience, lack
of awareness of existing potential risks and
immaturity.
|
The
following will also be taken into account:
• The fitting out and layout of the workplace
and the workstation.
• The nature, degree and duration of
exposure to physical, biological and chemical
agents.
• The form, range and use of work equipment
and the way in which it is handled.
• The organisation of processes and activities.
• The extent of the Health and Safety
training provided, or to be provided, to the
young people concerned.
The risks identified by the risk assessment
will be conveyed to the young worker along with
the measures put in place to control them.
In the case of a young worker between the age
of 13 years and minimum school leaving age,
this information will also be made available
to the young worker's parent.
If a significant risk remains the young person
will not be employed or allowed to undertake
this task. |
