VOLUNTARY SANITARY CERTIFICATES FOR KITCHENS, &c.
Up to the present only three certificates have been granted, two for kitchens
and one for a bakehpuse. Although many enquiries have been made
concerning the matter, they have not proceeded further owing, apparently, to
the stringency of the requirements.
SANITARY DEFECTS IN FACTORIES AND WORKSHOPS
NOTIFIED IN 1907 BY H.M. INSPECTOR OF FACTORIES.
Where sanitary defects (which are remediable under the Public Health Act,
1891, but not under the Factory and Workshop Act, 1901) are found by
H.M. Factory Inspector in the course of his work, jt is his duty to notify the
Local Authority of the same. During the year 21 such notifications were
received, some of which referred to factories as well as workshops.
The number is much below the average of the last 11 years. Some of the
defects reported were of a minor character, want of icleansing, &c.
The Factory Inspector was notified of defects in factories coming under the
observation of the Workshop Inspectors.
The sanitary defects reported at the 21 places referred to above were
remedied before the end of the year.
