Hiring 15-year-old workers to operate a meat slicer may violate which act?

  1. The Food and Drug Administration

  2. Food Safety Management

  3. The Fair Labor Standards Act

  4. The Occupational Safety and Health Act

The correct answer is: The Fair Labor Standards Act

The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) is relevant in this context because it establishes regulations about the employment of minors, including age restrictions and the types of jobs they can perform. Operating a meat slicer is considered hazardous work, which the FLSA specifically prohibits for employees below a certain age. Such safety regulations are in place to protect young workers from potentially dangerous tasks that could jeopardize their health and safety. The other options do not address the specific regulations that pertain to the employment of minors in hazardous occupations. The Food and Drug Administration is primarily concerned with food safety standards and regulations, while Food Safety Management refers to practices implemented to ensure food safety, not employment age regulations. The Occupational Safety and Health Act focuses on workplace safety standards generally for all workers but does not specifically limit the age of workers for particular jobs as does the FLSA.
