The workers shall use the protection afforded in paragraphs 5-7 and use the overalls in the work named;
The workers shall obey the directions of the occupier given in accordance with Rule 5, paragraphs 1 and 2, Rule 8, paragraphs 1 and 2, and Rule 9, paragraph 2. Workers contravening these orders shall be liable to dismissal without further notice.
If in a factory regulations already exist (paragraph 134(a) of the Industrial Code) the above shall be included.
16. In the vulcanising rooms mentioned in Rule 1 there shall be posted up a notice by the police stating—
(a) The cubic capacity of the rooms;
(b) The number of workers who may be employed.
Further, in every vulcanising room there shall be posted up in a conspicuous place and in clear characters Rules 1-15 and the conditions in paragraph 15.
Reference should be made also to the Prussian Ministerial Decree, dated February 23, 1910, on the preparation, storing, and manufacture of carbon bisulphide, and to the French Ministerial Circular, dated January 20, 1909 (Manufacture of Indiarubber).
Employment of benzine and chloride of sulphur for vulcanising is, from a hygienic standpoint, to be preferred to that of the much more dangerous carbon bisulphide. The same applies also to the process of the extraction of fat.
In the references made to general arrangements for the protection of workers dealing with poisons, stress was laid on the complete enclosing of extraction apparatus. This applies, of course, to extraction by means of carbon bisulphide, both on grounds of economy, health, and risk from fire.
