Of the workshops and places where wearing apparel is manufactured
or altered 798 employ females alone, and 390 males and
females. In the workshops of other occupations, females alone are
employed in 187, males alone in 11, and both sexes in 258 workshops.
So that of the total number of workshops on our list there are 985
which employ females alone, 11 males alone, and 640 where both
sexes are employed. It will be seen from the above figures that
most of the work connected with the workshops registered comes
within the sphere of duties which the female inspector has to
perform.
During the year, in addition to the other work, 46 notices of the
establishment of new workshops, and 25 complaints of nuisances in
workshops were received from the Factory Inspector. The male
inspectors of the Borough Council inspected 51 workshops and 131
workplaces (the latter being the kitchens of restaurants and eating
houses in the district, and are referred to in more detail hereafter).
Any nuisances found were satisfactorily abated. Miss Teebay made
during the year 137 primary inspections, and 1,151 re-inspections of
workshops. Further details of her work are given in her report
appended hereto.
