Published verdict
Delete

The law looks obsolete, unjustified, or duplicative.

Summary

This 1951 departmental ordinance imposes detailed technical anti-silicosis rules on specific foundry operations in iron, steel, and non-ferrous metal plants: sand preparation, unpacking of castings, cleaning/finishing, sandblasting, ventilation, dust separation, fresh-air supply, respiratory protection, and periodic cleaning. It is enforced by SUVA and expressly rests on the older silicosis regime, with the text noting that the referenced 1948 ordinance is today the accident-prevention ordinance.

Verdict reason
This is an obsolete, highly prescriptive plant-level rule from 1951 that is expressly tied to an older legal framework now replaced by the accident-prevention ordinance. Its institutional flaw is rigid micro-management of technical methods in a narrow industry through a stand-alone departmental decree that has been overtaken by broader modern safety law.
