Section 23:
Employment of young persons on dangerous machines.
(1) No young person 1[shall be
required or allowed to work] at any machine to which this section applies, unless he has been fully
instructed as to the dangers arising in connection with the machine and the precautions to be observed
and--
(a) has received sufficient training in work at the machine, or
(b) is under adequate supervision by a person who has a thorough knowledge and experience of
the machine.
(2) Sub-section (1) shall apply to such machines as may be prescribed by the State Government, being
machines which in its opinion are of such a dangerous character that young persons ought not to work at
them unless the foregoing requirements are complied with.
