The duties of sanitary authorities in relation to the sanitation
of factories are few, and are limited mainly to the enforcement
of suitable and sufficient sanitary accommodation for
factory employees.
Thirty-one new factory premises were added to the register
during the year, dealing with various trades, and 11 were removed.
During the year 68 preliminary and 12 statutory notices
were served under the Public Health (London) Act, 1891, for
defects found on factory premises, for the most part relating
to defective or insufficient sanitary accommodation, all of which
were duly remedied.
