During 1920, 732 out-workers premises were inspected.
It was found necessary to serve notices under the Public
Health (London) Act, 1891, in 20 cases to remedy dirty
condition of premises and defective sanitary accommodation.
Warehouses and Wharves.
At the end of 1920 there were 44 premises on the register,
including railway yards. Firty-three inspections were made,
and 5 notices were served in respect of the following matters:—
Accumulation of manure,
Defective paving.
The absence of proper ablutionary facilities for the
workmen employed in the workshops of several of the large
railway goods-yards in the Borough was brought to the notice
of the railway companies concerned by order of the Health
Committee. It is satisfactory to note that the representations
of the Committee have resulted in the provision of satisfactory
and adequate accommodation for the needs of the men
employed by important industrial works.
