gully be made to discharge over, or on to, a properly trapped
inlet situated outside such underground bakehouse.
(8) Provision to be made
(a) for the proper storage of flour and coals elsewhere than in
the underground bakehouse itself.
(b) for suitable means of access (other than by ladders) to the
underground bakehouse in the form of convenient stairs,
with an external entrance if practicable.
B.—Light.
(9) The bakehouse must be efficiently lighted, the standard required being such,
that the official abstract of the Factory Act may be read without
artificial light in any part of the bakehouse at noon, on a clear day.
Pavement lights, stall board lights, and area windows abutting upon the
footway, are to be constructed in such manner as to exclude dust, so far
as is possible. Pavement lights may be either glazed with thick clear
glass, or with Hayward's or other approved forms of prisms. Stall
board and area windows should be of similar construction, for so much as
is less than 24-in. above the pavement level; the remaining portion
(if any) may be left as an open grating for ventilating purposes. The
interior splays of area windows and stall board lights must be lined
with glazed bricks.
C.—Ventilation—
(10) The underground bakehouse to be properly and effectually
ventilated by permanent inlets and outlets (other than the
window or windows), communicating directly with the open air,
but in such a way, and at such a height above the street level,
as to prevent, as far as possible, the entrance into the underground
bakehouse of street dust and dirt; the inlets and outlets
to be of such nature and dimensions as shall be sufficient to
ventilate the bakehouse to the satisfaction of the Medical Officer
of Health ; and, further, such openings to be not under the
control of the persons employed, and one to be situated in the
ceiling and the other at such a height as to deliver the air
upwards without draughts, so as to ensure a constant and
equable temperature (60 degrees—65 degrees Fahr.)
D.—All Other Respects
(11) Provision to be made
(a) for dough troughs and other furniture or fittings (if any) to
be mounted on strong casters or wheels, so as to be readily
movable for cleansing purposes and not to be fixed.
(b) for a proper and adequate water supply for drinking purposes
(preferably by means of a tap from the rising main), either
within the underground bakehouse itself or convenient
thereto.
