The Sanitary Accommodation Order of 1+th February, 1903.
The Secretary of State issued an " Order " under Section 9 of
the Factory and Workshop Act, 1901, determining what is sufficient
and suitable accommodation for persons of each sex within the
meaning of this Section.
The " Order " prescribes one sanitary convenience for every 25
males, and the same proportion for females.
Where the number of males employed exceeds 100, and sufficient
urinal accommodation is also provided, it shall be sufficient if there
is one sanitary convenience for every 25 males up to the first 100,
and one for every 40 afterwards.
Where the number of males exceeds 500, upon a certificate from
the District Inspector of Factories under certain conditions stated,
it shall be sufficient if one sanitary convenience is provided for
every 60 males, in addition to sufficient urinal accommodation.
This " Order " does not apply to the Administrative County of
London, but obviously it may be taken as a guide.
The London County Council propose to make application in
this session of Parliament for powers: —
1.—Enabling Sanitary Authorities to require the cleansing
or destruction of articles of clothing which are in a filthy,
dangerous or unwholesome condition.
2.—Enabling Sanitary Authorities to require the owners
of premises to strip the walls and cleanse any room or rooms
infested with vermin, and enabling owners to recover the
cost of the work from tenants in certain cases.
3.—Enabling Sanitary Authorities to require the reconstruction
or removal of urinals or other conveniences
