Official textFrom Attorney General's Chambers, unchanged
Every worker who enters into a contract shall be medically examined at the expense of the employer.
As a general rule the worker shall be medically examined and a medical certificate issued before the attestation of the contract.
Where it has not been possible for the worker to be medically examined before the attestation of the contract, the Commissioner when attesting the contract shall endorse it to that effect and the worker shall be examined at the earliest opportunity.
The Commissioner may, by endorsement on the contract, exempt from the requirement of medical examination workers entering into contracts for —
employment in agricultural undertakings not employing more than such number of workers as may be prescribed;
employment in the vicinity of workers, homes —
in agricultural work;
in non-agricultural work which the Commissioner is satisfied is not a dangerous character or likely to be injurious to the health of the workers.
