There is close co-operation with the Borough Planning Officer
which enables the department to see all plans submitted in respect
of new construction or alteration to premises to which the provisions
of the Act apply. It is thus possible to approach the persons
responsible at an early stage in the development and ensure that,
when completed, the premises will comply with the requirements of the
Act. This service not only simplifies administration but is
appreciated by the managements concerned.
There has been little difficulty in enforcement. It has
been observed that occupiers of premises are becoming more aware of
their obligations and co-operation given by employers and managements
has continued to be excellent.
Inspections, whilst being thorough and covering all aspects of
the Act, have been carried out in an atmosphere of understanding and
goodwill.
