Factory and Workshop Act, 1901.
Section 132 of the Act requires every Medical Officer of Health in
his Annual Report specially to report on the administration of the Act,
and five tabulated statements were framed by the Home Secretary with
a view to such reports being made upon uniform lines.
The supervision of these premisee is largely controlled by the
Factory and Workshop Acts; and in London by the Public Health
(London) Act, 1801. For the purpose of their duties with respect to
workshops and workplaces under the Acts, the Borough Council and
their officers are given by section 125 of the Factory and "Workshop
Act, 1901, the same powers of entry, inspection, taking legal proceedings
or otherwise, as are possessed by Factory Inspectors. Under
section 131 of the Act of 1901 it is the duty of the Borough Council to
keep a Register of all Workshops situate within their district.
