About this publication

Keeping Children Safe in the Workplace is a 15 page publication for workplaces where children work or visit, to identify hazards and implement safety controls to prevent injuries.
Children in Victoria under the age of 15 may be employed in Victorian workplaces under the Child Employment Act (CE Act) 2003. Due to their age, stage of physical and emotional development and their inexperience, children are the most vulnerable employees in Victorian workplaces.
