A minor under 18 years of age may not be employed in any capacity that the director determines to be hazardous, dangerous to life or limbs, injurious to morals or when the minor's health would be injured.

Rules adopted pursuant to this section are routine technical rules as defined in Title 5, chapter 375, subchapter II-A. The rules must contain a provision prohibiting the employment of minors in places having nude entertainment. This section does not apply to minors in public and approved private schools where mechanical equipment is installed and operated primarily for purposes of instruction.
Effective September 18, 1999, unless otherwise indicated.
