What is the maximum weight an under 18 is allowed to carry at work?


I am a 16 year old girl still in education and at work I am required to carry weights upto 27kg, we used to be provided with a trolley to move items but it's tires were flat and it's hard to lift items into it, just wondering if there is a maximum weight I should be carrying and if my employers are breaking the law?

*I'm actually more interested in a figure of what it is illegal for me to carry?

ask them for better lifting equipment in writing. make them sign it. then if you get hurt you can sue the pants off of them
