Ventilation.—As in previous years, difficulty has been experienced
in persuading workers and employers alike of the importance to health
of proper ventilation of the workrooms while work is in progress.
Windows and other ventilators are frequently found to he closed. The
means of ventilation has been improved in 2 workrooms.
Overcrowding.—11 workrooms were found to be overcrowded. In
4 instances the overcrowding was immediately abated on the request
of the Inspector. In 6 cases it was abated on the service of an
Intimation notice, while in one case in which it was found to exist on
two occasions, a Statutory notice was served, since when no recurrence
of the overcrowding has been discovered.
