In  addition  to  these,  in  all  factories  which  expose
workers  to  a  danger  of  poisoning,  or  where  the
workers  are  subject  to  dampness  or  filth,  etc.,  special
protective  clothing  is  supplied.  The  standard  and
kind  of  such  clothing  and  footwear,  as  well  as  the
category  of  workers  to  be  supplied,  is  defined  by
the  People's  Commissariat  of  Labor.  All  working
men  and  women  engaged  in  harmful  trades  are
supplied  with  soap,  free  of  charge,  in  spite  of  the
acute  shortage  of  soap  in  the  Soviet  Republic.
