Executive Council may issue directions for abatement of nuisance caused by steam or other power:

1. (1) If in any factory, workshop or work-place in which steam-power, water-power or other mechanical power or electric power is used, nuisance is in the opinion of the Executive Council caused by reason of the particular kind of fuel employed or by reason of the noise or vibration created, the Executive Council may issue such directions as it thinks fit for the abatement of the nuisance within a reasonable time to be specified for the purpose.
2. (2) If there has been wilful default in carrying out such directions or if abatement is found impracticable the Executive Council may-
   • (a) prohibit the use of the particular kind of fuel employed, or
   • (b) restrict the noise or vibration by prohibiting the working of the factory workshop or work-place between the hours of 9:30 P.M. and 5:30 A.M.
