(c) Inspection of Various Industries —During the
year I have inspected the premises and processes of various
industries in the Borough including wax-modelling, sweet-meat
making, thermometer making, paper dinner-centre makers, stick
and umbrella fitters, electro-plating and re-gilding processes, etc.
In several instances I have made suggestions with a view to
diminishing the risks to health.
