* § 139. Physical examination of employed minors; cancellation of

employment certificate. 1. A medical inspector of the department of

labor shall require any minor sixteen or seventeen years of age employed

in or in connection with any trade, business, or service, to submit to a

physical examination by him if in his judgment such minor is physically

unfit for the work at which he is employed. The result shall be recorded

on a form filed with the commissioner.

2. If such minor fails to submit to such examination or if on

examination the inspector finds the minor physically unfit to be so

employed, he shall so report to the commissioner with his reasons

therefor and the commissioner, if he approves the report, shall then

cause the employment certificate issued in accordance with the education

law to be taken from the office of the employer and shall return the

same to the superintendent of schools recommending its cancellation.
