Cellulose Spraying
1. Application - The provisions of this schedule shall apply to all factories or parts of factories 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 adolescents shall be employed
in any factory on the operations specified in paragraph 1 above.
3. Exhaust draughts - 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 so as to prevent (as far as practicable under the atmospheric conditions usually
prevailing) from escaping in to 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/
she 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 he/she 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.
