The checklists are based primarily on the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) as well as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and other federal government agencies’ regulations and standards. The U.S. Department of Labor/ Employment Standards Administration/ Wage and Hour Division http://www.dol.gov/esa/whd also has regulations for young workers-students under age 18 which limit working hours and prohibit certain types of hazardous jobs http://youthrules.dol.gov. Additional restrictions to working hours and type of jobs may be imposed by individual States http://youthrules.dol.gov/states.htm. Students enrolled in a career school, apprenticeship, or other student-learner programs may be exempt from some of the Hazardous Orders http://www.dol.gov/elaws/esa/flsa/cl/exemptions.asp.
