WASHING FACILITIES IN BAKEHOUSES.-A prosecu- tion at Brighton on March 7th called attention to the Home Office Order dealing with washing facilities in bakehouses. To reduce the incidence of the form of dermatitis known as bakers’ itch,the Home Office made the Order so that employees could wash their hands and arms instead of scrapping off the dough before it became dry. The firm which was summoned had provided washing facilities, but these did not come up to the standard laid down by law. After the visit of the factory inspector, however, the Order was complied with, and in the circumstances the Superintendent Inspector of Factories said he was prepared to withdraw the case on payment of costs. He emphasised that should it be necessary to bring any further cases, he would not be justified in repeating his line of action. It was stated by a member of the defendant firm that the men at the particular bakery did not handle any dough, and that during the last 20 years there had not been a single case of illness or disease caused through the bakery. The justices dismissed the summons on payment of costs, and the chairman pointed out that in the interests of public health there should be every facility to ensure cleanliness in the making of bread. Without such prosecutions as these many highly important Orders and regulations would simply remain dormant.
