10. Employment in vulcanising with carbon bisulphide or in other work exposing the workers to carbon bisulphide vapour shall not be allowed without a break for more than two hours and in no case for more than four hours in one day; after two hours a pause of at least one hour must be allowed before resumption.
No person under 18 years of age shall be employed.
