Excerpt from Occupational Hazards to Young Workers, Vol. 5: Woodworking Machines
Years of promotion of safety principles and practices have resulted in the introduction and use Of guards for many woodworking ma chines. However, because these devices are neither applicable to all types of work nor required on all types of machines, there has been no drastic curtailment of the great number of accidents caused by woodworking machines. Requirements for guarding, fixed by law or regulation, vary greatly from State to State.
There has been widespread recognition of the hazards of wood working-machine employments for young workers. This recognition has taken the form of State laws setting a minimum age for employ ment on specified types of machines higher than the minimum age for general employment. But because the coverage of the laws is not uniform and because there is no legislation of this type in many States, substantial numbers of youn workers continue to be em ployed as Operators of or Off - bearers from these extremely hazardous machines.
