section is to secure that all new workshops in which protected persons

begun, but owing to ignorance of the law, and for other reasons, this
obligation is frequently left unfulfilled, and the Inspector is informed
of the occupation by the local Medical Officer of Health. Pursuant to
this section, 36 workshops were notified to H.M. Inspector of Factories
