Factontes. [Ch. 30. No. 2.

15. (1) Every dangerous part of any machinery, other
than prime movers and transmission machinery, shall
be securely fenced unless it is in such a position or of such
construction as to be as safe to every person employed
or working on the premises as it would be if securely fenced:
Provided that, in so far as the safety of a dangerous part
of any machinery cannot by reason of the nature of the
operation be secured by means of a fixed guard, the
requirements of this section shall be deemed to have been
complied with if a device is provided which automatically
prevents the operator from coming into contact with that
part.

(2) Any part of a stock-bar which projects beyond
the head-stock of a lathe shall be securely fenced unless
it is in such a position as to be as safe to every person
employed or working on the premises as it would be if
securely fenced.

16. Every dangerous part of the ways, works or plant
shall be so enclosed, covered, fenced, or otherwise effectively
guarded as to prevent danger.

17. All fencing or other safeguards provided in pursuance
of the foregoing provisions of this Part of this Ordinance
or of any regulations or orders made in pursuance thereof
shall be of substantial construction, and constantly main-
tained and kept in position while the parts required to
be fenced or safeguarded are in motion or in use, except
when any such parts are exposed for examination, lubrica-
tion or adjustment which it is necessary to carry out while
they are in motion.

18. (1) In the case of any machine in a factory being
a machine intended to be driven by mechanical power—

any revolving shaft, spindle, wheel or pinion shall
be so sunk, encased or otherwise effectively guarded
as to prevent danger; and
