Workplaces.
This term is not defined in the Factory Act, nor in the Public
Health Act, and it is sometimes exceedingly difficult to decide
whether certain premises are or are not " workplaces." Among the
more important workplaces are the kitchens of restaurants, coffeehouses,
etc., and the number of these places in Hampstead in 1905
was 50. In 1906, however, the use of two of these kitchens was
discontinued, so that the number on the register at the end of last
year was 48. These premises are kept under regular supervision by
Inspector Hudson. The legal powers of the sanitary authority in
relation to restaurant kitchens, and indeed to all places where food
is prepared, are altogether inadequate, and, if as occasionally
happens, the occupier insists on standing on his strict legal rights,
regardless of the public health, the public may be exposed to
considerable danger. There is much need of bye-laws to regulate
the general sanitary condition of all premises where human food
is prepared and sold.
