"Although this takes into account only one class of workplace, viz.,
" kitchens of restaurants, &c., and will have to be largely increased.
"At present one inspector only is engaged upon the work, and your
"Female Sanitary Inspector, when appointed, will be available for those
" workshops where female labour only is employed.
"It is important that the preliminary inspection, measurement and
"registration should be completed within a reasonable time, say twelve
"months, and that thereafter, each workshop should be visited say twice a
"year, and each bakehouse say four times a year.
"The amount of clerical work in connection with the above will
" undoubtedly be large.
"It would seem advisable, and even necessary, that in the first instance the
"greater part of the clerical work, involving, as it would, expert knowledge,
"should be carried out by the Inspectors, though later on it will probably be
"found more economical to relieve them so far as practicable of mechanical
"details.
"In order to give a definite idea of the amount of clerical work, the
" following Schedule has been prepared :—
" 1. The keeping up of the prescribed ' Register' of workshops.
"2. The keeping of the Register of sanitary work done, and nuisances
" abated in factories, workshops and workplaces.
"3. The preparation and record of notices and certificates under the
" Act.
"4. The preparation of the Monthly Report of the Medical Officer of
" Health to the Sanitary Committee.
"5. The examination of lists of "out-workers," and transmitting
"names and addresses to Metropolitan Borough Councils and
"others outside the City.
"6. The keeping up of the Inspector's note books of inspections and
" measurements (squaring dimensions, &c.).
" 7. Keeping up diaries.
"8. Correspondence with the Factory Department respecting nuisances
"in factories, &c., and with owners and occupiers of factories
"and workshops.
