There are no registered poultry slaughterers in the borough. Offices, Shops and Railway Premises Act 1963 The amount of work arising from the provisions of this Act, which can be carried out by the Department is limited, not only by the personnel available but by the priority which other aspects of public health demand. In spite of this, every effort has been made to increase the number of general inspections during the year. All accident reports are carefully scrutinised and wherever the circumstances suggest that further investigation is needed visits are made to the premises and detailed examinations are made and advice given on preventive measures which should be taken. Some difficulty has been experienced in translating to particular circumstances the provisions of the Offices, Shops and Railway Premises (Hoists and Lifts) Regulations 1968 and the Deputy Superintending Inspector of Factories has been consulted. He has, on one occasion, visited the Borough to see for himself a type of lift used by a particular company who are using numerous similarly constructed lifts throughout the country. The legal and physical aspects of the matter had not been resolved at the end of the period under report.
