WORKSHOPS AND FACTORIES.
Sanitary Conveniences.—Medical Officers of Health come into communication with
H.M. Inspectors of Factories from time to time, and traverse part of the same
ground, and it is therefore very desirable that there should be some distinct understanding
as to the number of sanitary conveniences to be provided in factories,
workshops and workplaces.
For the purpose of framing such a standard other recognised standards may be
of assistance.
