WORKSHOPS WHERE MEN ARE EMPLOYED.
Considerable improvement with regard to workshop inspection, generally, took place in 1902
consequent on the appointment of additional male inspectors, which permitted of men's workshops
being brought under supervision. Men's workshops (i.e. workshops conducted on the system of not
employing any woman, young person or child therein) are in a somewhat different position to those
where women are employed, inasmuch as (inter alia) the sections in Part I. of the Act relating to
temperature, thermometers, means of ventilation, drainage of floors, sanitary conveniences, etc., are
not applicable to them.
I have received from the Chief Sanitary Inspector the subjoined account of the administration
of the Act in relation to men's workshops, in 1907.
