Résumé

This Act, consisting of 19 sections, establishes the Punjab Prohibition of Child Labour at Brick Kilns. Since the environment at a brick kiln is hazardous for children, adversely affecting their growth, health and education, this Act prohibits the child labour and regulates the labour at the brick kilns in the whole Punjab. Every engagement or appointment of a worker shall be subject to a written contract in the prescribed Form between the worker and the occupier showing the terms and conditions of his/her employment. If it appears to an inspector that a child has been engaged on work or found at a brick kiln, or if the occupier fails to comply with any direction under section 18, the Inspector may, in the prescribed manner, seal the brick kiln for a period not exceeding seven days.
