SAME; EMPLOYMENT NOT ALLOWED; REVOCATION OF CERTIFICATE (§ 40.1-89)

No child shall be employed pursuant to a work-training certificate as provided
in § 40.1-88 where such employment requires such child to work in any
occupation which is deemed hazardous under § 40.1-100 A or regulations
promulgated thereunder. However, a child sixteen or seventeen years of age may
be employed in certain such occupations as part of a work-training program in
accordance with rules and regulations promulgated by the Commissioner. No child
shall work in a work-training program except pursuant to a written agreement
which shall provide: (1) that the work of such child shall be incidental to his
training, shall be intermittent and for short periods of time and shall be under
the direct and close supervision of a competent and experienced person; (2) that
safety instruction shall be given by the school and correlated with on-the-job
training given by the employer; and (3) that a schedule of organized and
progressive work processes to be performed shall have been prepared. Such
written agreement shall set forth the name of the child so employed and shall be
signed by the employer and the coordinator of schools having jurisdiction.
Copies of such agreement shall be retained by the school and the employer, and a
copy thereof shall be filed with the Department.
		Any such work-training certificate or written agreement may be revoked at any
time that it shall appear that reasonable precautions for the safety of such
child have not been observed.
