HC Deb 30 June 1958 vol 590 c68W
Mr. Stonehouse

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what measures are taken by the Factory Inspectorate in Uganda to ensure that machinery is fitted with adequate safety guards before being put into use.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

Vendors of new machinery for use in factories are required by law to ensure that specified dangerous parts are properly safeguarded before sale. The Factory Inspectorate staff of the Labour Department are responsible for enforcing the provisions of the Uganda Factories Ordinance relating to the safeguarding of machinery. These provisions are similar to those of the United Kingdom Factories Act.
