All these bakehouses are periodically inspected so as to
ensure the maintenance of a fair state of cleanliness and
suitable conditions for the employees. In building new bakehouses,
the question of the type of oven is gone into so as to
secure as little pollution of the air of the bakehouse as is
possible. It is an obvious advantage to stoke from the bakehouse
so that the men may not have to go out from the
warm air to feed their fires; at the same time this involves
the storage and handling of a certain amount of coal in the
bakehouse itself, which in careless hands is often undesirable.
