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These provisions were repealed and superseded, as far as they applied to "workplaces", by the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 with effect from 1 January 1993 for new workplaces and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Section 61, first aid, has been repealed, as has section 62, power of minister to make regulations.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:
“I have great faith in ‘ordinary parents.’ Who has a child’s welfare more at heart than his ordinary parent? It’s been my experience that when parents are given the skills to be more helpful, not only are they able to use these skills, but they infuse them with a warmth and a style that is uniquely their own.”
—Haim Ginott (20th century)
