Conn. Agencies Regs. § 19-13-B55 - Sanitary requirements for housing of workers
(a)
Housing shall be constructed in such a manner as to be structurally safe,
adequate in size and reasonably easy to keep clean.*
*Note: It is important that the provisions of the state statutes relating to fire prevention and safety and all regulations made pursuant thereto be complied with.

the window area of each room for living quarters, sleeping quarters,
preparation of food or mess halls shall be at least one-eighth of the floor

purposes, window area and ventilation shall conform as nearly as possible to
the above, but in any case shall meet with the approval of the local director
of health.

the basis of one forty watt bulb per one hundred square feet of the floor area

except when provided with wood platforms and with prior approval by the local
director of health.
