My Dad owned a restaurant in NJ and there were certain pieces of kitchen 
machinery a child under 16 couldn't use. These were things like the meat 
slicer, the automatic dishwasher (very hot water), the grill, and the hot 
dog machine (one of those flat roller things that the hot dogs sit on and 
cook, I am probably missing some of the other machinery I couldn't touch(I 
was way under 16 yrs old).

Laws might be different from state to state.  Basically use common sense.
