Cleanliness.
16 workrooms were found on inspection to require cleansing;
11 of these were cleansed on the verbal request of the inspector, but
in five cases it was necessary to serve a notice before the work was
carried out.
Ventilation and Warming.
As in former years some considerable difficulty has been
experienced in inducing workers to keep the windows or ventilators
open. Nine workshops were found to be warmed by flueless gas
stoves or naked gas burners; in eight cases the warming was made
satisfactory by the provision of fires or gas stoves with proper flues
to carry off fumes—one case was reported to H.M. Factory Inspector.
In five other cases workrooms were found to be insufficiently
warmed, gas burners being used in addition to fire or stove; the
warming of these has been made satisfactory by the provision of
additional fires or stoves.
Overcrowding.
Overcrowding of workshops was found in 11 instances. In two
cases the overcrowding was abated immediately on the verbal
request of the Inspector; in eight cases intimation notices were
served, and in one case it was found necessary to serve a statutory
notice because the overcrowding recurred.
At each workshop a card in the following terms is left by the
Inspector for each workroom, the required particulars being filled in
by the Inspector after the workroom has been measured up and the
necessary information obtained.
