As an employer you are required to recognise that young persons, i.e. persons under the age of 18 years, are particularly vulnerable in the workplace. They may lack experience and/or maturity and may not recognise the workplace risks.
Employers are required to conduct a risk assessment and, based on results of the risk assessment, make special arrangements for a young person's well being.
