FACTORIES ACT (NORTHERN IRELAND) 1965 - SECT 62

62.(1) In every factory in which, in connection with any process carried on,
there is given off any dust or fume or other impurity of such a character and
to such extent as to be likely to be injurious or offensive to the persons
employed, or any substantial quantity of dust of any kind, all practicable
measures shall be taken to protect the persons employed against inhalation of
the dust or fume or other impurity and to prevent its accumulating in any
workroom, and in particular, where the nature of the process makes it
practicable, exhaust appliances shall be provided and maintained, as near as
possible to the point of origin of the dust or fume or other impurity, so as
to prevent its entering the air of any workroom.

(2) A stationary internal combustion engine shall not be used unless

(a)provision is made for conducting the exhaust gases from the engine into the
open air; and

(b)the engine (except when used for the purposes of being tested) is so
partitioned off from any workroom or part of a workroom in which persons are
employed, other than persons attending to the engine, as to prevent any
injurious fumes from the engine entering the air of the room or part of the
room.
