A child of fourteen years of age may only be employed to do light work, which is not likely to be harmful to the child's health and development; and does not prejudice the child's attendance at school, participation in vocational orientation or training programmes or the child's capacity to benefit from the instruction received.

No person shall employ a child under eighteen years of age in a mine, factory or as crew on a ship or in any other worksite including non-formal settings and agriculture, where work conditions may be considered hazardous by the Minister.

Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (3), any written law regulating the provision of training may permit a child under the age of eighteen to work under supervised conditions in the course of his training.
