WORKSHOP SUPERVISION.
55
The notices of new workshops received from the Home Office numbered 24, 19 of which
related to workshops already on the Department's Register. Practically all the workshops
added to the Register were discovered by the Inspectors. Miss O'Kell and Miss Nicolas
examined the Home Office Registers in the autumn, but they found more workshops on their
own Register than on those of the Home Office.
The matters chiefly calling for attention (See Table 36) were overcrowding (44 cases),
dirty conditions (194 cases), gas fumes (41 cases) and want of separate closet accommodation
(33 cases). In a considerable proportion of the cases a verbal intimation sufficed to secure
removal of the complaint,* but 274 notices of various character (See Table 36) were required.
In certain instances two or more different notices were required to deal with one complaint.
