Guidelines for Cadets, Explorers, and Junior members of Fire, Emergency Medical AND Police Services In the State of Connecticut
This publication was produced as a result of numerous inquiries as to what duties are permitted to be performed by persons under the age of eighteen (18) years. In a cooperative effort between the Connecticut Department of Labor, Department of Public Health (OEMS), the Commission on Fire Prevention and Control and the Connecticut Fire Chiefs' Association, the following guidelines have been established to protect minors while affording them a safe and meaningful opportunity to explore their interests in possible careers in the public safety and emergency services fields.
Section 31-23, et seq. of the Connecticut General Statutes provides for criminal penalties for hazardous employment of persons under the age of eighteen. Although these young people are usually volunteers, they are legally considered to be employees when in service to their respective department or organization.
The following lists are not all-inclusive and should in no way be construed as insulating any department, organization, or person from liability under any state or federal law or regulation. Any incident/accident involving a minor will be investigated on a case-by-case basis. Questions?
