MENS WORKSHOPS.
At the end of the year, the registered workshops at which men alone were employed numbered
937. The factories at which men alone were employed numbered 183. It should be noted that by
Section 157, the provisions of the Factory and Workshop Act, 1901, relating to temperature,
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
factories and workshops, the provision of sanitary conveniences is regulated by Section 38 of the
Public Health (London) Act, 1891, the standard adopted being that required by the Sanitary
Accommodation Order of 4th February, 1903. The following Table shows the various trades and
occupations carried on in the men's workshops now on the register and in the 183 factories.
