FACTORIES ACT (NORTHERN IRELAND) 1965 - SECT 14

Transmission machinery.

14.(1) Every part of the 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.

(2) Efficient devices or appliances shall be provided and maintained in every
room or place where work is carried on by which the power can promptly be cut
off from the transmission machinery in that room or place.

(3) A driving belt when not in use shall not be allowed to rest or ride upon a
revolving shaft which forms part of the transmission machinery.

(4) Suitable striking gear or other efficient mechanical appliances shall be
provided and maintained and used to move driving belts to and from fast and
loose pulleys which form part of the transmission machinery, and any such gear
or appliances shall be so constructed, placed and maintained as to prevent the
driving belt from creeping back on to the fast pulley.

[(5) Where the Ministry is satisfied that owing to special circumstances the
fulfilment of any of the requirements of subsections (2) to (4) is unnecessary
or impracticable, it may by order direct that that requirement shall not apply
in those circumstances.]
