Section 48

If in the opinion of the Chief Inspector the use of any part of the ways, works, machinery or plant in a factory involves imminent liability of a dangerous occurrence he may serve on the occupier of the factory an order in writing prohibiting the use thereof until such danger is removed to the satisfaction of an inspector.

Any person aggrieved by an order of the Chief Inspector under this section may, within 30 days after such order, appeal to the Minister whose decision shall be final.

In the event of a failure to comply with an order lawfully given under this section the occupier of the factory concerned shall be guilty of an offence and shall be liable on conviction, without prejudice to any other penalty that may have been incurred, to a fine not exceeding $5,000 or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 6 months or to both, and if the contravention in respect of which he was so convicted continues after the conviction he shall be guilty of a further offence and shall be liable on conviction to a fine not exceeding $500 or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 7 days or to both for every day during which the offence was so continued.[46
