What dangers do children face at work?

In agriculture, children may be exposed to toxic pesticides or fertilisers. They work with dangerous blades and tools and carry heavy loads.

In mining, children may use poisonous chemicals, face the risks of mine collapse and sometimes work with explosives.

In construction, children may carry heavy loads, work at tall heights and risk injury from dangerous machinery.

In manufacturing, children may use toxic solvents, perform repetitive tasks in painful positions and risk injury from sharp tools.

In domestic work, children risk abuse, work long hours and often live in isolation from their family and friends.
