MEN'S WORKSHOPS
The number of workshops at which men were employed at the end of the year 1909 was 811.
It should be noted that by Section 157, the provisions of the Factory and Workshop Act, 1901,
relating to temperature, ventilation, drainage of floors, the exhibition of abstracts and certain other
matters do not apply to workshops conducted on the system of not employing children, young
persons or women. In London both in men's and women's workshops the provision of sanitary
conveniences is regulated by Section 38 of the Public Health (London) Act, 1891, the standard
adopted being that prescribed by the Sanitary Accommodation Order of 4th February, 1903. The
