I. PROTECTION AGAINST EXTERIOR DANGERS.
A glance at existing legislation on Labour Protection, or even only at the various paragraphs of the _von Berlepsch_ Industrial Code Amendment Bill, clearly shows the definite significance of all these foregoing cla.s.ses in the codification of protective right. Each one of these cla.s.ses is treated both generally and specifically in the Labour Acts.
