Welfare (general Provisions)
Sections 57 to 60 define general broad requirements for factory welfare:
- Supply of drinking water;
- Washing facilities;
- Accommodation for clothing; and
- Sitting facilities.
These provisions were repealed and superseded, as far as they applied to "workplaces", by the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 with effect from 1 January 1993 for new workplaces and 1 January 1996 for established workplaces. There is still a potential residual scope of application to "factories" that are not "workplaces".
Section 61, first aid, has been repealed, as has section 62, power of minister to make regulations.

Famous quotes containing the word welfare:
“Borrow a child and get on welfare.
Borrow a child and stay in the house all day with the child,
or go to the public park with the child, and take the child
to the welfare office and cry and say your man left you and
be humble and wear your dress and your smile, and don’t talk
back ...”
—Susan Griffin (b. 1943)
