49. REPORTABLE OVERTIME. Where the hours worked in an undertaking are already ten hours a day, a maximum of one hour's overtime may be worked. In that event or in the event of the overtime taking place between 8 p.m. and 9 p.m. a notice in form LD/HW2 must be posted and, in addition, a report with particulars of the overtime worked must be sent to the Commissioner on form LD/HW3A before overtime work is commenced. The same particulars must be entered in a register kept by the proprietor. Reportable overtime of this kind must not exceed one hour in any day or be worked on more than six days in any week or on more than 100rs in any calendar year or take place in more than 25 weeks in any calendar year.
50. SPECIAL SCHEMES OF SHIFT WORK. Subject to the length of each shift not exceeding eight hours and to certain other conditions the Commissioner may grant special permission for women and young persons of 16 years of age or over to work between 8 p.m. and 11 p.m. where this is necessary to enable a system of shifts of eight hours to be worked. Prior application must be made before any such system is introduced if women and young persons are to be employed in this manner.
51. REGISTERS. A register of all women and young persons employed must be maintained in every industrial undertaking in the prescribed form LD/HW5. Exemption from keeping a register of women can be sought where the undertaking is closed down completely on a fixed day every week.

52. INSPECTION. Officers of the Labour Department have power to inspect every part of an industrial undertaking by day or by night.
