not kept waiting
long before they receive attention.
(3) She should supervise the keeping of all records of
accident and illness in the Ambulance Room.
(4) She should keep in touch with all cases of serious
accident or illness.
It would further be useful if she were allowed to be kept in touch
with the Compensation Department inside the Factory with a view to
advising on any cases of hardship that may arise.
IV. SUPERVISION OF CLOAK-ROOMS AND SANITARY CONVENIENCES.
The Welfare Supervisor should be held responsible for the following
matters:--
(1) General cleanliness.
(2) Prevention of Loitering.
(3) Prevention of Pilfering.
The Management will decide what staff is necessary to assist her, and
it should be her duty to report to the Management on these matters.
V. PROVISION OF OVERALLS.
The Welfare Supervisor should have the duty of supervising the
Protective Clothing supplied to the women for their work.
EXTRAMURAL WELFARE.
The Welfare Supervisor should keep in touch with all outside agencies
responsible for:--
(1) Housing.
(2) Transit facilities.
(3) Sickness and Maternity cases.
(4) Recreation.
(5) Day Nurseries.
In communicating with any of these agencies it will no doubt be
preferable that she should do so through the Management.
III. RECORDS.
_A_. The Welfare Supervisor should for the purpose of her work have

is adopted, a sample card suggesting the necessary particulars which
it is desirable should be kept by Welfare Supervisors is supplied to
employers on request.
_B_. The Welfare Supervisor should have some way of observing the
health in relation to the efficiency of the workers, and if the
Management approved this could be done:
(a) By allowing her to keep in touch with the Wages
Department. She could then watch the rise and fall of wages
earned by individual employees from the point of view that
a steady fall in earnings may be the first indication of an
impending breakdown in health.
(b) By allowing her to keep in touch with the Time Office she
should be able to obtain records of all reasons for lost time.
From such records information can be obtained of sickness,
inadequate transit and urgent domestic duties, which might
otherwise not be discovered. Here again, if a card-index
