CELLULOSE SPRAYING

1. Application:- The provisions of this Schedule shall apply to all factories or

parts of factory in which the spraying of cellulose ester paints or lacquers is

carried on.

2. Prohibition of the employment of children and adolescents - No child or

adolescent shall be employed in any factory on the operation specified in

paragraph 1 above.

3. Exhaust draught:- An efficient exhaust draught shall be provided by

mechanical means for the process specified in paragraph 1. The draught

shall operate on the vapour given off in the process as near as may be at

the point of origin as so to prevent it (as far as practicable under the

atmospheric conditions usually prevailing) from escaping into the air of any

place in which work is carried on. The draught shall be maintained working

for a period of at least five minutes after the cessation of the operation:

Provided that the Chief Inspector cum facilitator may grant exemption from

these provisions if he is satisfied that due to the casual nature of the

operation they are not necessary to secure the health of the workers.

4. Position of spray operators:- Arrangements shall, as far as practicable, be

made so as to render it unnecessary for the person operating the spray to

be in a position between a ventilating out fit and the article being sprayed.
