FACTORIES.
Up to the present, time has not permitted of much being done in the
inspection of Factories, which primarily falls within the scope of the duties
of H.M. Factory Department.
The Factory Inspectors are required, under the Statute, to give notice to the
Sanitary Authority of sanitary defects remediable under the Public Health
Acts, but not under the Factory Acts. In the early future it will be possible
to give this important matter more attention, and thereby anticipate the action
of the Home Office Authorities.
In one instance where it was proposed to establish a factory, plans of the
sanitary arrangements were previously submitted, a precaution which, if
generally adopted, would often save trouble and expense.
During the year 78 Factories were inspected, 39 of which are accounted for
under the heading of "Woman Sanitary Inspector."
