Hazardous Occupations Defined
The 16 hazardous occupations
recognized are:
1. Handling or applying
anhyrdous ammonia, organic
arsenic herbicides, haiogenated
hydrocarbon pesticides, or
heavy-metal fungicides, in-
cluding cleaning or decon
taminating aquipment used in
application or mixing of such
chemicals.
Of the many agricultural
chemicals used on farms, only
those presenting serious health
hazards are prohibited.
Anhydrous ammonia has a
corrosive effect on body tissues.
The pesticides prohibited either
affect the central nervous
system, causing respiratory
failure, or may cause death by
the accumulation of even minute
quantiles over a prolonged
period
Persons under 16 may still

Eight pistons in the hy
draulic pump, six in the engine. They
team up to deliver control power that
can be described as “electrifying,”
because John Deere’s closed-center
hydraulic system works like an elec
trical circuit it uses engine power
only when you turn on a hydraulic
function Compare this to competitive
systems that are always “on,” using
power to constantly pump oil. Stop by

agent. The term “blasting agent’’
shall include explosives such as,
but not limited to, dynamite,
black powder, sensitized am

The use of blasting agents
requires experience and ex
pertise. Mishandling can result in
accidental detonation, and
maiming or loss of life.
3. Serving as flagman for air
craft.
The job of flagman for aircraft
is hazardous because the
flagman stands in the line of
flight to direct the pilot and also
because of the possibility of
contamination from the chemical
being applied.
4. Working as a. Driver of a
truck or automobile on a public
road or highway; b. Driver of a
bus.
Exposure to other traffic while
moving at considerable speed
makes driving a motor vehicle on
a public road or highway

responsibility of carrying
passengers makes driving a bus
unsuitable for youth under 16.
