HO 8 Power-Driven Metal-Forming, Punching and Shearing Machines

Bans the operation of certain power-driven metal-working machines

    Prohibited:

    Minors under age 18 may not operate, assist in the operation of, set up, adjust, repair, oil or clean power-driven metal forming, punching and shearing machines.

    The term forming, punching and shearing means power-driven metalworking machines, other than machine tools, which change the shape of or cut metal by means of tools, such as dies, rolls, or knives, which are mounted on rams, plungers or other moving parts.

    Machines that involve rolling, bending, hammering, or shearing of metal are prohibited.

    Permitted:

    The HO does not include a very large group of metal working machines known as “machine tools.”

    The following machines are not covered by HO 8 and may be used by minors aged 16 and 17: Wheel crusher or rim removing machine, Walco precision roller, injection molding press, and Elox wire-cut electrical discharge machine, Axxess PC key machine, Ridgid 535 pipe and bolt threading machine, Landis pipe nipple and automatic pipe nipple machines, brake drum and brake disc lathes.

    This HO is subject to a limited exemption for 16- and 17- year old apprentices and student learners enrolled in an approved program.
