I move amendment No. 25:—
Before sub-section (8) to insert a new sub-section as follows:—
(8) It shall be an offence under this Act to permit any person or persons to be carried or lifted by a lifting machine.
This involves the same principle as that involved in the earlier amendment. It seeks to make it a definite offence, clearly set out in the Act, to allow any persons to be carried by a lifting machine. I think this is very necessary because I am aware of one case where a man was lifted in a bucket-crane up to a height of 400 feet with the knowledge of the employer.
