The compositors’ shelves and stands for type boxes shall be either closely ranged round the room on the floor, so that no dust can collect underneath, or be fitted with legs, so that the floor can be easily cleaned of dust underneath. 5. The workrooms shall be cleared and thoroughly aired once at least a day, and during the working hours means shall be taken to secure constant ventilation. 6. The melting vessel for type or stereotype metal shall be covered with a hood connected to an exhaust ventilator or chimney with sufficient draught to draw the fumes to the outer air. Type founding and melting may only be carried on in rooms separate from other processes. 7. The rooms and fittings, particularly the walls, cornices, and stands for type, shall be thoroughly cleansed twice a year at least. The floors shall be washed or rubbed over with a damp cloth, so as to remove dust once a day at least. 8. The type boxes shall be cleansed before they are put in use, and again as often as necessary, but not less than twice at least in the year. The boxes may only be dusted out with a bellows in the open air, and this work may not be done by young persons. 9. In every workroom spittoons filled with water and one at least for every five persons shall be provided. Workers are forbidden to spit upon the floor. 10. Sufficient washing appliances, with soap and at least one towel a week for each worker, shall be provided as near as possible to the work for compositors, cutters, and polishers. One wash-hand basin shall be provided for every five workers, fitted with an ample supply of water. The employer shall make strict provision for the use of the washing appliances by workers before every meal and before leaving the works. 11. Clothes put off during working hours shall either be kept outside the workroom or hung up in cupboards with closely fitting doors or curtains, which are so shut or drawn as to prevent penetration of dust. 12. Artificial means of lighting which tend to raise the temperature of the rooms shall be so arranged or such counteracting measures taken that the heat of the workrooms shall not be unduly raised. 13. The employer shall draw up rules binding on the workers which will ensure the full observance of the provisions in sections 8, 9, 10, and 11. II. A notice shall be affixed and a copy sent to the local police authority shewing: (_a_) The length, height, and breadth of the rooms. (_b_) The air space in cubic measure. (_c_) The number of workers permitted in each room. A copy of Rules 1 to 13 must be affixed where it can be easily read by all persons affected.
