CHAPTER XIII
PREVENTIVE MEASURES AGAINST LEAD POISONING--_Continued_
=Periodical Examination.=--In various codes of regulations a surgeon
is required to make periodical medical examination of the workers.
The term “surgeon” is defined as the “Certifying Factory Surgeon of
the district, or a duly qualified medical practitioner, appointed
by written certificate of the Chief Inspector of Factories, which
appointment shall be subject to such conditions as may be specified
in that certificate.” The wording of the regulation varies somewhat
in different codes, but the intention in all is the same, and the
following example from the Tinning Regulations will indicate the
purpose and scope:
“Every person employed in tinning shall be examined by the surgeon
once in every three months (or at such shorter or longer intervals as
may be prescribed in writing by the Chief Inspector of Factories),
on a day of which due notice shall be given to all concerned. The
surgeon shall have the power of suspension as regards all persons
employed in tinning, and no such person after suspension shall be
employed in tinning without written sanction from the surgeon entered
in the health register.
“Every person employed in tinning shall present himself at the
appointed time for examination by the surgeon. No person employed
in tinning shall, after suspension, work at tinning without written
sanction from the surgeon entered in the health register.”
Under the Special Rules for white-lead works, examination is required
at weekly intervals; under the Special Rules for Earthenware and
China, Manufacture of Litho-Transfers and Red Lead, and under the
Regulations for Electric Accumulators, and Paints and Colours, monthly;
under the Regulations for Tinning, Yarn dyed with Chromate of Lead,
and Enamelling, at quarterly intervals, subject to the limitation or
extension specified in the regulation quoted.
