That pretty well sums it up in society we are cautious about getting the young involved because they are young... and what else can they be?There is nothing anywhere in relation as to a cut off age I can find. I do believe it does come down to members or even appointed safety office to pounce watch out for all members safety.
But on the other hand age is no restriction
especially if your old. How ever some old folks are just past it and should not be involved.
I watched my 70year old BIL playing around with my lathe when it was running and it scared the living daylights out of me. He was in MHO well past it.
At the end of the day putting aside politics, personal grievances, preconceived ideas, overt legalism etc if we can. Each case should handled on its merits, in todays world I suppose Beethoven would not be allowed near a piano till he was 10 or 12 years old

I was given my first pocket knife at the tender age of 6 by my grandfather. I am now 54. Today it would seem that he would have been jailed for providing a minor with a weapon or some such rot.
I would get someone who is at least a Cert IV Trainer and Assessor to come up with a basic competency training package, submit it to the insurance comapny and see if it fits their criteria. If not work with them and see what they can come up with. Have a set training pathway for young members. The outcome would be a member who has shown he has the skills and maturity to operate in the workshop under little or know supervision.
I.E.
100 Introduction to the clubhouse - rules and regulations
101 Workshop safety
102 Basic electrical safety
103 Safe operation of edged non powered tools
104 Safe operation of powered edged tools
105 Workshop First Aid
etc.
Who knows it may be that the path of least resistance is fighting them with their own rules.I make sawdust with powertools.
