Minimum age for warehouse job?

Is it 18? Or 16?

Really looking for a job quickly and would have thought that a warehouse job would be fairly easy to obtain, question is am I old enough?

(I'm seventeen)

18 usually. Due to machines and nightwork. But I don't think all are.

So I should forget looking for a warehouse type job then?

easiest way to find out is to go find an agency which deals with lots of warehouse and ask.
It's also the easiest way to get a warehouse job.

no, apply for warehouse jobs. Each company is different and it also depends on their insurance policies.

At the last 3 companies I have worked at all of them employed 16 year olds, however they all had restrictions on them. For instance, the last job stated that anyone under the age of 18 could not operate the cardboard compactor.

Just apply and see what happens!

Do this...

Each company has different insurance conditions so they can employ different types of people.
