Power of the District Court to make orders as to dangerous conditions and practices.
|
50.—(1) If, on complaint by the Minister, the District Court is satisfied either—
|
|
| |
(a) that any part of the ways, works, machinery or plant used in a factory is in such a condition or is so constructed or is so placed that it cannot be used without risk of bodily injury, or
|
|
| |
(b) that any process or work is carried on or anything is or has been done in a factory in such manner as to cause risk of bodily injury,
|
|
| |
the Court shall, as the case may require, by order—
|
|
| |
(i) prohibit the use of that part of the ways, works, machinery or plant or, if it is capable of repair or alteration, prohibit its use until it is duly repaired or altered, or
|
|
| |
(ii) require the occupier to take such steps as may be specified in the order for remedying the danger complained of.
|
|
| |
(2) Where a complaint is or has been made under subsection (1) of this section in relation to any part of the ways, works, machinery or plant used in a factory or any process or work carried on or anything which is or has been done in a factory, the District Court may, on application ex parte by the Minister and on receiving evidence that the use of such part or, as the case may be, the carrying on of such process or work or the doing of such thing involves imminent risk of serious bodily injury, make an interim order prohibiting, either absolutely or subject to conditions, the use, carrying on or doing thereof until the earliest opportunity for hearing and determining the complaint.
