Regulation 17. (First'aid materials.)
Adequate first-aid equipment was provided at five food
premises.
Regulation 18. (Accommodation for clothing etc.)
Adequate accommodation for clothing and footwear, not worn
during working hours, of persons engaged in the handling of food
was provided at four food premises in compliance with this Regulation.
Regulation 19. (Facilities for washing food and equipment.)
In compliance with this Regulation, it was found necessary to
require the replacement of sinks at two food premises.
I am pleased to be able to report that all improvements were
secured without recourse by the Council to legal proceedings.
In the matter, however, of a loaf containing a cigarette end, the
Council instituted legal proceedings against the baker concerned,
under Section 2 of the Food and Drugs Act, 1955, and a fine of
forty shillings was imposed.
