APPENDIX XV.

INSPECTIONS MADE AND VISITS PAID UNDER THE TRADE BOARDS ACTS DURING THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER, 1927.

NOTE 1.-Establishments of the same firm situated at different premises and separate departments of the same firm within the scope of different Boards are counted
each as a separate establishment.

NOTE 2.-The figures given for inspections represent inspections of separate establishments (see Note 1). In a few cases the same establishment was inspected
more than once; in such cases each inspection has been counted separately.

NOTE 3.-An inspection of an establishment is made for the purpose of ascertaining whether there has been compliance with the Acts, and involves the checking
of wages. A call upon any person, e.g., an employer, a worker, or a trade union official, in regard to any matter in connection with the Acts which cannot be classed
as an inspection of an establishment, as described above, is classed as a visit.
