This checklist is based on guidance from the CDC and US DOL (https://bit.ly/covid-ag-cdc-dol). *Disclaimer*: Checklist is for reference only and does not guarantee compliance with state or local regulations.
Discourage the presence of youth at the worksite.
1. Encourage workers to send children to childcare while working.
2. Establish and enforce policies that restrict children from worksites.
3. If you hire youth farmworkers, ensure you are following labor laws and assigning age-appropriate tasks, including as required by child labor regulations.
4. Provide extra supervision and guidance to youth workers, emphasizing ways they can reduce their exposure to COVID-19.
This creates a private checklist in your account.
