(1) at least fourteen (14) years of age and less than eighteen (18) years of age; and
(2) at work in an occupation for which an employment certificate is required under sections 5 and 6 of this chapter;
shall submit to a physical examination. The examination shall be conducted by a medical inspector of the department of labor or by a physician designated by the department of labor. A female employee is entitled to have this examination made by a female. An employer shall not require or attempt to require a female employee to submit to a physical examination by a male.
