Factories.
The Factory Act contains a special sanitary code for
factories, which is administered by the Factory Inspectors;
but for the most part this code supplements, not displaces, the
provisions of the Public Health (London) Act, which are
administered by the Sanitary Authorities. The definition of the
word "house" in the latter Act includes a factory, and where
there is no express statutory provision to the contrary, the
sections of that Act apply to factories as to dwelling houses.
Moreover, section 38 of the Public Health Act lays upon the
Sanitary Authorities the duty of securing for the workers
"sufficient and suitable accommodation in the way of sanitary
conveniences " in all factories.
