WORKSHOPS.
In the year 1902, it became the duty of Local Authorities to see to the condition
of all Workshops and the abatement of nuisances therein. The want of cleanliness and
ventilation, the provision of suitable and sufficient water-closet accommodation, the
abatement of overcrowding, the affixing of abstracts of the Act within workshops,
the keeping of Lists of Outworkers upon the premises, £c., are some of the matters
requiring attention.
Constant changes in business arrangements are the principal reason for interference
on the part of the Local Authority. It is frequently found in such cases that entirely
new arrangements have to be made with regard to water-closet accommodation, &c.
