Section 7 - OFFICES, SHOPS & RAILWAY PREMISES ACT 1963
This Act, which came into operation during the year placed much
ditional responsibility on the Public Health Inspector. The scope
the Act and the many detailed items of equipment required to satisfy
various regulations necessitated thorough inspections of premises
therto administered under the provisions of the Shops Act and
mises where no standard of amenities had previously been laid down.
In order to expedite registration, notification forms (0.S.R.I) were
patched to all premises in the Borough, likely to come within the
cope of the Act.
By the end of the year 594 registration forms had been received
and the task of carrying out general inspections was undertaken by the
blic Health In spentors.
