AN ACT TO AMEND THE LAW RELATING TO CERTAIN FACTORIES AND WORKSHOPS.*

1. This act may be cited as the Factory and Workshop Act, 1883.

White Lead Factories.

2. After the 31st day of December, 1883, it shall not be lawful to carry on a white lead factory, unless such factory is certified by an inspector to be in conformity to this act.

3.-(1). A white lead factory shall not be certified to be in conformity with this act unless the scheduled conditions, that is to say, the conditions specified in the schedule to this act, as amended by any order of a secretary of state under this section, and including any conditions added by any such order, have been complied with.

(2). A secretary of state may at any time, by writing under his hand, revoke, alter, add to, or modify all or any of the conditions specified in the schedule to this act,

4. Within a reasonable time after written application in that behalf addressed to the chief inspector of factories by the occupier of any white lead factory, such factory shall be inspected by an inspector, and if he finds that the scheduled conditions have been

* 46 and 47 Vict., c. 53. See the Factory and Workshop Act, 1878, 41 and 42 Vict., c. 16. Ante.

complied with he shall certify to a secretary of state that the factory is in conformity with this act; and a copy of the certificate signed by the inspectors shall be forthwith given to the occupier.

5. If at any time after a white lead factory has been certified to be in conformity with this act it appears to an inspector that the factory is not kept in conformity with this act, he shall forthwith give notice to the occupier specifying in what respect default is made; and unless the default is within a reasonable time after the notice remedied to the satisfaction of an inspector, a secretary of state may, if he sees fit, withdraw the certificate until the default is remedied.

6. The occupier of a white lead factory which, after the 31st day of December, 1883, is carried on without a certificate under this act shall, for every day during which it is so carried on, be liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding two pounds.

7.—(1). There shall be established not later than the first day of January, 1884, in every white lead factory, such special rules for the guidance of the persons employed therein as may appear best calculated to enforce the use by them of the requirements provided under this act, and generally to prevent injury to health in the course of their employment.

(2). Such special rules, when established, shall be observed in and about the factory, as if they were enacted in this act.

(3). If any person who is bound to observe the special rules established for any white lead factory, acts in contravention of or fails to comply with any of such special rules, he shall be liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding two pounds; and the occupier of such factory shall also be liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding five pounds, unless he proves that he had taken all reasonable means, by publishing and to the best of his power enforcing the said rules, to prevent such contravention or noncompliance.

8.-(1). The occupier of every white lead factory shall frame and transmit to the chief inspector for approval by a secretary of state, special rules for such factory within three months after the passing of this act; or within three months after the opening for work of any white lead factory not opened for work before the passing of
