Sanitary Defects in Factories and Workshops notified in
1904 by H.M. Inspectors of Factories.
In 1904 thirty-one notifications of factories and workshops where sanitary
defects existed that were remediable under the Public Health (London) Act,
1891, were received from H.M. Inspectors of Factories under the provisions of
Sec. 5 (1) of the Factory and Workshop Act, 1901.

of informing the Factory Inspector of the action taken by them in each
instance, and further, to commence proceedings to remedy the defects
discovered within one month of the date of the notice.
