Section 18 in Bihar Factories Rules, 1950

18. General Ventilation.

(1)In every room in a factory in which workers are ordinarily employed and which is not ventilated by mechanical means, there shall be sufficient openings in the walls or roof for the admission or egress of air to maintain the atmosphere in the room in a fresh and reasonably cool condition.
(2)If in any part of a factory the Inspector, having due regard to the weather conditions than prevailing, considers the atmosphere to be unduly vitiated or stagnant and that this is due to insufficient openings, he shall by written order require the manager to-
(a)increase the openings in the walls or in the roof to an aggregate area equal to 75 per cent of the area found by the applicable formula in Appendix I or to such less extent as he deems reasonable in the circumstances, or
(b)provide mechanical means to produce a continuous change of air at the rate of three complete changes in the hour or at such rate as he deems sufficient in the circumstances.
