The Worst Form Hazards faced by Children at Work is a provision in the Worst Forms of Child Labour Recommendation (No. 190) adopted by the International Labour Organization in 1999, which sets out the framework for each ratifying country's specific examination of; and the criteria it uses to determine; "work which, by its nature or the circumstances in which it is carried out, is likely to harm the health, safety, or morals or children" (C182, Article 3d). This effort is an attempt to complement the Pre-defined worst forms of child labour. Hazardous conditions are said to be faced by over 250 million children worldwide, though it is likely the actual overall figures are significantly higher than these estimates.

If it can be said to play the role of the watchmaker in nature, it is the blind watchmaker.”
—Richard Dawkins (b. 1941)
