The exemption is available to an employer, however, even if he has a
total of nine or more employees, if only eight of them or less are
employed in the named operations. Thus, if such an employer employs only
eight employees in the named operations and others in operations not
named in the exemption, such as sawmill operations, the exemption is not
defeated because of the fact that he employs more than eight employees
altogether. It will not apply, however, to those engaged in the
operations not named in the exemption.
