Section 11.72. Part-time industrial schools

(a) Whenever any establishment provides and maintains a part-time industrial school for the education of minors between the ages of 14 and 16 years, such minors may be permitted to engage in those occupations that are not specifically prescribed as hazardous in section 5 of the act (43 P. S. § 44) or which have not been declared as such by the Department, if the minors are at all times under the special supervision and instruction of competent foremen, and if all machinery is properly guarded, according to the rules and regulations of the Department. In such cases, however, arrangement shall be made with local school authorities to provide for school attendance of at least the minimum prescribed by the school laws administered by the Department of Education.

(b) In all part-time industrial schools the provisions of the act for hours of labor, employment certificates, and the like shall be complied with.
