Appendix A.
Special Report under the Faetory and Workshop
Act, 1901.
The various places which in this district are, so far as the
Local Sanitary Authority is concerned, under the operation of this
Act, have been, during the past year, frequently visited by myself
and the Sanitary Inspectors.
The tables required by the Home Office immediately follow
this note, and, in Appendix C, some further particulars are afforded
on pages 50 and 52.
It will be seen that, though continued and careful attention
has been paid to the working of the Act, no very serious matters
have required attention, and the written notices served have been in
all cases complied with.
I have again, however, to record the statement that no
steps have been taken to make bye-laws " providing for means of
escape from fire in the case of any factory or workshop," or to see
that, as the Act directs, " every factory and workshop in the district
is provided with sufficient means of escape from fire."
