the home work being done in insanitary dwellings, or in premises
where there is dangerous infectious disease. Every occupier of a
factory, workshop, or place from which such work is given out, and
contractors employed by such occupiers, are required by law to
keep lists showing the names and addresses of all persons employed by
them, either as workmen or contractors, outside the factory, workshop
or place, and the premises where they are employed. The occupiers are
required to send to the Council twice in each year, viz.:—on or before
1st February and 1st August, copies of such lists. Upon receipt of
these lists, the names and addresses of home workers residing in the
districts of other sanitary authorities are forwarded to the Medical
Officers of Health concerned.
In preceding Table 3, page 25, will be seen an analysis of the
Outworkers' lists during the year.
