The first thing to do is find out if your DD wants the job. If she does, then it's a good time for you to teach your child some kitchen safety tips before she starts the job. You can review using a stove and oven, how to use hot pads and kitchen mitts. Use of plates or spoon rests, washing dishes, especially food safety when cleaning. Show her anything you want her to be aware of and careful of. Frankly, you should have already had this discussion with a 14 year old. We started at age 10 and at age 12, we are still reminding our kids of safety issues in the kitchen (it's a little harder for them to remember because they only do cooking things infrequently). But you teach, remind, refresh regularly. After she starts to work, you can ask her what she is doing and if she is assigned a kitchen helper task you haven't reviewed with her, discuss what she is doing and give her any safety tips that you think she will need to know. This is a good learning experience and you can help her be prepared for high school and college when she will need to do kitchen work for herself.

Dear lord, this is “something’s wrong see a psychiatrist” level of anxiety from OP.
Like, I’m all for letting kids be kids and not having to work.. simple as that..
But OP freaking out about the technicalities of workers comp (aka the worst case and extremely unlikely scenario)
Like… what?
Dcum never fails to blow my mind 🤦
