The Licensing Officer may at any time order a person, who is employed in a granite quarry and is suspected of having contracted a pulmonary disease, to submit himself to a medical examination.

A medical examination provided under this regulation to a person who is employed in a granite quarry shall be carried out by a registered medical practitioner approved for the purpose by the Licensing Officer.

A record of the medical examination shall be kept by the licensee of the quarry in a register which is to be kept in a form and manner approved by the Licensing Officer.

Every licensee of a quarry shall notify the Licensing Officer of any accident occurring in the quarry within 48 hours of its occurrence and of any pulmonary disease contracted by a person who is employed to work in the quarry and shall furnish the Licensing Officer with the personal particulars of that person together with such other particulars relating to the quarry as the Licensing Officer may require.
