Who is certifying Surgeon? Whom Certifying surgeon can authorize on his behalf and how?

Sec 10, Chapter II- The inspecting staff

Certifying surgeons appointed by State government for specific industry, set of industries to fulfill the requirements under above Section 10.

A certifying surgeon may, with the approval of the State Government, authorise any qualified medical practitioner to exercise any of his powers under this Act for specified  period as the certifying surgeon may specify and subject to such conditions as the State Government may think fit to impose.




No person shall be appointed to be, or authorized to exercise the powers of, a certifying surgeon, or having been so appointed or authorised, continue to exercise such powers, who is or becomes the occupier of a factory or is or becomes directly or indirectly interested therein or in any process or business carried on therein or in any patent or machinery connected therewith or is otherwise in the employ of the factory.
