HEAT-RELATED ILLNESS (HRI)
HRI occurs from prolonged exposure to high temperatures and humidity. HRI is dangerous and can cause death.
Children are at greater risk of HRI than adults.
CHILDREN SAID THEY EXPERIENCED HRI SYMPTOMS ALONG WITH PRESSURE TO WORK FAST
Go faster or replace you.

There are risk of working with hazardous chemicals. All MSDS SHALL BE AVAILABLE AT EASY ACCESS FOR WORKERS.
Unprotected or poor mechanism of industrial tools and equipment may be very harmful and fatalities may occur.
| What strategies do you consider effective to eradicate forced child labor? |
|---|
The 1938 Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) don't intended to prevent work completely. It protects child from injury and loss of educational opportunities.
So enforcement agencies must vigil to the whereabouts of all working children's willingness to work and facilities are adequate for ease and hazard free condition.
| Do you think it is fundamental for children to have the freedom to fully develop and fulfill their dreams? Explain your answer. |
|---|
It the birth right of all children to have equal and same opportunity to grow and fulfill their dreams. It the duty of the state to provide nutritious food to all children of the nation. They should be provided good health care and academic faculties as well as extracurricular activities.
Before I conclude I would request three other fellow Steemians to share their views on the topic.

Hello @impersonal It's shocking to see the number of fatalities in industries like agriculture and construction. We need strict enforcement of laws like the Fair Labor Standards Act to ensure children are protected and can grow up freely to chase their aspirations,thanks for sharing wish you success 💖🤗🌸💐🌺💞.
Thank you for visiting my post.
Wonderful post my friend. Children should be appreciated and given love . Many children are on the road hawking day and night, most of them are hungry and vulnerable to dangers. Child slavery is a serious offence that should be looked into .

Upvoted. Thank You for sending some of your rewards to @null. It will make Steem stronger.
It is quite alarming the rate at which innocent children are suffering and society and a lot of people are to be blamed for that first of all the parents of those children second are the government which I will say the bad leaders that we have in our different countries who are not able to see the disadvantage of what child's name is causing for the children for families and even for the nation at large. We cannot continue to look at how innocent children are being passed through labor sufferings and pains they should not pass to all because they are disadvantages
And that's why I am saying that everyone of us needs to start taking steps towards making sure that this corrupt practice of selling children and exploiting them to do what they should not do or what they do not want to do should stop. For goodness sake a lot of children's lives and the future have been damaged due to child trafficking. In fact a lot of them need to leave to build age with that stigmatization that they were sold for some money all because of one or two rubbish reasons.
Like I always say everyone of us have a little to play to make sure that our society is in good state both the parent both the citizens and even the government is helps and when I'm talking about the government I'm talking about our leaders that they should put into place rules are regulation that we help combat and deal with child trafficking before it goes out of hand. Thank you so much for sharing this quality publication with us today and I must really confess that I really learned a lot.
I agree with you.
