Factories Act 1937, Section 34— Means of Escape in Case of Fire
Four certificates of means of escape in case of fire were issued
during the year. In one case the Public Health Committee refused
to grant a certificate until work recommended by the Chief Public
Health Inspector (with the support of Her Majesty's Inspector of
Factories and the Fire Prevention Officer of the Essex County
Council) had been executed. The proprietor objected to doing the
work and asked to appear before the Public Health Committee. His
request was refused because of the recommendations of the above
officers. Following this refusal the proprietor carried out all the
required works and a certificate was granted.
