This list must be sent twice in each year, on the 1st of February
and the 1st of August.
On receipt of these lists it is the duty of the officers of the
District Council to dissect them, and to forward the names and
addresses of such persons as are employed outside their own
district to the Medical Officer of Health of the districts
concerned.
The trades to which this section of the Factory Act applies
are :-
(1) The making, cleaning, washing, altering, ornamenting,
finishing, and repairing of wearing apparel, or any
work incidental thereto.
(2) The making, &c., of lace and lace curtains.
(3) Cabinet and furniture making and upholstering work.
(4) The making of electro-plate.
(5) The making of files.
(6) Fur pulling.
These work-places, when visited, are treated exactly like all
other workshops, as they fall into one of the three classes
mentioned above.
Section 132 of the Factory and Workshops Act of 1901
requires that the Medical Officer of Health of every District
Council shall, in his Annual Report to them, report specifically
on the administration of this Act in workshops and workplaces,
and shall send a copy of his Annual Report, or so much of it as
deals with this subject, to the Secretary of State.
The systematic inspection of registered workshops and the
homes of outworkers in this Borough is carried out by Inspector
Rare. The sanitary condition of domestic workshops is looked
after by the District Inspectors as part of their ordinary duty.
