Hi to all safety practitioners out there! can anyone answer this question as I have tried to research this but cannot find a significant answer! The question is this: "Is there any law or legislation that states that there is a upper age limit to allowing persons to help out or work in a public (non domestic) kitchen as a volunteer or paid worker" I am interested if there is as I'm am researching this as a private matter. Any information or answers to this would be of help. cheers guys

John J is correct However proving that 'something' has gone on/is going on is a completely different matter I know of a ninety year old lady who is holding down a physical job with no difficulty. The only difficulty she had was after management discovered her age. However she was too smart for them so she remains at work

However, there may be valid H&S reasons for excluding someone from doing tasks that present high risk of harm to themselves by reason of their abilities, regardless of age.
