Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Report of British Departmental Committee on the Danger in the Use of Lead in the Painting of Buildings, 1916 The extent of lead poisoning among industrial workers has long been Iho subject of serious concern to the factory inspection authorities in Great Britain. By the Factory Act of 1895, regulations effective January 1, 1896, were introduced in Great Britain, requiring reports of lead poisoning in a list of factory industries and endeavoring to control the use of lead so far as practicable in order to safeguard the health of the workers. As a result of those regulations, tlio number of eases of lead poisoning has been greatly reduced, so that the average annual number reported in the five-year period, 1910-1914, was less than one-half tho number annually reported in the five-year period, 1S96-1900. Owing to the difficulty of securing reports of eases of lead poisoning occurring outside of factories, information at ail complete has been lacking as to the extent of lead poisoning among painters employed on buildings. On January 20, 1911, in response to a long-continued and insistent public demand, the Ilomo Secretary appointed two departmental committees to study the danger attendant on tho uso of paints containing lead to the health of persons engaged in painting, and to consider and report what should bo done to obviate or reduce the dangor. To one of these committees was assigned the study of the painting of buildings, and to the other the painting of coaches and carriages. The report of the first committee, made after extensivo investigations, was issued on May 5, 1915. The report, however, bears the date of November, 1914. Besides the chairman, the committee consisted of two members of Parliament, the medical inspector of factories, and two representatives each of employing painters and of working painters.
