{"product_id":"2940013486447","title":"NIOSH Recommendation to the U.S. Department of Labor for Changes to Hazardous Orders","description":"An average of 67 workers under 18 years of age die annually from occupational injuries, and an estimated 77,000 are treated in hospital emergency departments for nonfatal injuries. The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), largely unchanged in decades, defines work activities prohibited for young workers through 28 Hazardous Orders (HOs) for nonagricultural and agricultural occupations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) provided funds for NIOSH to develop such a report based in a review of data and the scientific literature. Primary data sources used by NIOSH were the Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries, the Survey of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses, the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System, and the Current Population Survey. Hundreds of scientific articles and reports were reviewed. The report makes recommendations specific to HOs that define prohibited occupations. The report does not address Child Labor Regulation No. 3 which sets hours restrictions and defines permissible work activities for 14- and 15-year-olds, nor statutory issues such as the minimum age for work in HOs and exemptions from the FLSA.","brand":"An average of 67 workers under 18 years of age die","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47082677403888,"sku":"2940013486447","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013486447_p0.jpg?v=1763581888","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013486447","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
