Abstract
IN 1913 a Departmental Committee was appointed by the Home Secretary to inquire into the lighting of factories and workshops. The Committee issued in 1915 an interim report containing much valuable information which attracted much attention and still holds a unique position amongst official literature on this subject. On that occasion statutory provisions requiring adequate and suitable lighting in every part of a factory and workshop were recommended. Values of illumination were also prescribed in the interests of safety and convenience, but detailed recommendations on the order of illumination necessary for various industrial processes were deferred.
