The Bakehouses Welfare Order, 1927.
This Order came into force on 1st May, 1927 and it requires the
occupier of every factory and workshop in which is carried on the
baking of bread or flour confectionery to observe the following:—
(a) Provide and maintain for the use of all persons employed therein,
who handle any dough or any of the ingredients of bread or flour
confectionery, suitable washing facilities conveniently accessible;
(b) Provide for the use of all persons employed in the bakehouse,
suitable accommodation for clothing put off during working hours,
with adequate arrangements for drying the clothing if wet;
(c) Keep prominently displayed in the bakehouse the Official
Cautionary Notice as to the prevention and cure of dermatitis
among workers handling flour and sugar;
(d) Maintain certain arrangements for first aid treatment of injuries
occurring in bakehouses, and
(e) Provide for such workers an adequate supply of wholesome
drinking water.
Public Health (Condensed Milk) Regulations, 1923.
Public Health (Dried Milk) Regulations, 1923 and
Amending Regulations, 1927.
Public Health (Preservatives, etc. in Food) Regulations, 1925.
Public Health (Preservatives, etc. in Food) Amendment
Regulations, 1926.
These Regulations have been the subject of full Reports to the
Public Health Committee. It is desirable that some record should
be made of the many Acts, Regulations, etc., dealing with food, and I
take the liberty of suggesting that close attention should be paid to the
essay on "A Review of Food Legislation" given at the end of this
Annual Report. Here it may be said as regards condensed and dried
skimmed milks that attention is paid to the proper labelling of these.
The words "Unfit for Babies" must be printed on the outside of any
paper or other wrapper in which tins of such milk are enclosed.
Further, these words must be printed on tins of condensed skimmed
milk, dried, skimmed or dried machine-skimmed milk. The Regulations
come into force (these are dated November 14th, 1927) on 1st
September, 1928.
