mentioned in connection with the making, cleaning, or repairing
of wearing apparel—processes which are prohibited under
penalty (not exceeding £10) in Dwelling-Houses so infected;
A Sanitary Authority may, by order, forbid work to be given out
to any person living or working in any Dwelling-House (the
whole of the house or any part thereof), where any notifiable
infectious disease exists or has recently existed (the patient
having been meanwhile removed to Hospital). Such Order may
be served on the occupier of the Factory or Workshop whence
the work is given out, or on the Contractor employed by such
occupier, and must specify a definite period during which work
is not to be given out, or is to be subject to the disinfection, to the
satisfaction of the Medical Officer of Health, of that part of the
house which is referred to in the Order, or to "other reasonable
precautions" being taken. Contravention of any Order issued
by the Sanitary Authority entails a penalty not exceeding £10.
In case of urgency, the Order may be issued for the Sanitary
Authority by any two or more of its members, acting on the
advice of the Medical Officer of Health.
Occupiers of Factories and Workshops, and Contractors
employed by such occupiers, in connection with certain Trades
mentioned in the Order are to keep lists (open to inspection by
the Sanitary Authority) of the people working for them "outside
the Factory or Workshop," together with the addresses
of the places where such people work or are employed. Copies
of such lists are, further, to be sent to the Sanitary Authority in
whose District the Factory and Workshop concerned is situ ted
"on or before" the 1st days of February or August in each
Year. Where a list sent to a particular Sanitary Authority
contains names and addresses of Out-workers living outside the
District of that particular Authority, such names and addresses
are to to be sent on by that Authority to the other Sanitary
Authority or Authorities concerned, thereby ensuring complete
intercommunication between various Sanitary Authorities.
