There are a large variety of receptacles for the purpose described in this statute, any one of which would be acceptable to the State Board of Labor and Industries. A hot table or oven into which the receotacles containing the food may be placed is an ordinary and very economical means of heating or warming food. Apparatus for cooking food is not required. In order to avoid unjust discrimination between manufacturers of these receptacles, employers should make their selection and ascertain if the same meets with the approval of the State Board of Labor and Industries before installation. Note.-- In announcing these requirements the State Board of Labor and Industries would have it understood that these are the minimum required under the law, the maximum to be regulated by the desire of the individual employer to do everything reasonable for the welfare of the workers during their employment. Additional equipment may be required when in the opinion of the State Board of Labor and Industries it is necessary. Emergency and rest rooms have been provided in many of the industrial establishments in this State, and employers contemplating the installation of rooms on this scale may be referred by permission to such establishments.
