German term

Gesetz zum Schutze der arbeitenden Jugend

German to English Law/Patents Materials (Plastics, Ceramics, etc.)
Dear all,
I would like to know the meaning of the phrase above. It is mentioned in an MSDS as follows:

"Young people under 18 years old are not allowed to work with this product according to Gesetz zum Schutze der arbeitenden Jugend (Jugendarbeitsschutzgesetz - JArbSchG.) of 12. April 1976 (as amended) on the protection of young people at work.".

Apologies for the lengthy phrase!
Many thanks in advance!

definition or translation? Are you looking for the definition or the translation? Here is a US parallel: "Laws governing the employment of minors" (state of New York: http://www.labor.ny.gov/workerprotection/laborstandards/work...
Please note the American plural vs. the German singular (this is a summary of relevant state laws vs. a specific German law). Please also note that if you keep the German in the translation, you should use Jugendarbeitsschutzgesetz or JArbSchG, so that readers can more easily find the relevant source.

Thank you. Possibilities within the EU tend to use the word "Act" rather than "Law" in this context and tend not to use distinct American English wording.

Youth Worker Protection Act

hope this is helpful
Peer comment(s):

disagree Lancashireman : A 'youth worker' is an adult who works with young people. Clearly also in need of protection, however.

disagree hazmatgerman (X) : Ganz mit ASs Begründung, da es von zielsprachlichen Sprechern wahrscheinlich falsch verstanden würde.
