Sec. 9. A suitable and proper washroom and water-closets shall be provided
in each manufacturing establishment, and such water-closets shall be
properly screened and ventilated, and be kept at all times in a clean
condition; and if women or girls are employed in any such establishment,
the water-closets used by them shall have separate approaches and be
separate and apart from those used by men. All water-closets shall be
kept free of obscene writing and marking. A dressing-room shall be
provided for women and girls, when required by the Factory Inspector, in
any manufacturing establishment in which women and girls are employed.
Sec. 10. Not less than sixty minutes shall be allowed for the noonday meal
in any manufacturing establishment in this State. The Factory Inspector,
the Assistant Factory Inspector, or any Deputy Factory Inspector shall
have power to issue written permits in special cases, allowing shorter
meal-time at noon, and such permit must be conspicuously posted in the
main entrance of the establishment, and such permit may be revoked at
any time the Factory Inspector deems necessary, and shall only be given
where good cause can be shown.
Sec. 11. The walls and ceilings of each workroom in every manufacturing
establishment shall be lime-washed or painted, when in the opinion of
the Factory Inspector, Assistant Factory Inspector, or of a Deputy
Factory Inspector, unless disapproved of by the Factory Inspector, it
shall be conducive to the health or cleanliness of the persons working
therein.
Sec. 12. Any officer of the Factory Inspection Department, or other
competent person designated for such purpose by the Factory Inspector,
shall inspect any building used as a workshop or manufacturing
establishment or anything attached thereto, located therein or connected
therewith, outside of the cities of New York and Brooklyn, which has
been represented to be unsafe or dangerous to life or limb. If it
appears upon such inspection that the building or anything attached
thereto, located therein or connected therewith is unsafe or dangerous
to life or limb, the Factory Inspector shall order the same to be
removed or rendered safe and secure; and if such notification be not
complied with within a reasonable time, he shall prosecute whoever may
be responsible for such delinquency.
