Records of such lists and addresses are to be kept by the
respective Sanitary Authorities, and to be open to inspection by
the Factory Inspector.
Should Out-workers' houses or rooms be found to be injurious
or dangerous to the health of the persons employed therein,
the Sanitary Authority may give notice to the occupiers of the
Factory or Workshop for whom such work is done, or to the
Contractors employed by such occupiers, and, after one month
from the date of such notice, may apply to a Court of Summary
Jurisdiction for a penalty (not exceeding £10), should work still
be being given out to be done in such unhealthy houses or
rooms.
From the above summary, it will be seen that increased duties
are put upon the Borough Council by the Factory and Workshop
Act 1901 in regard to the systematic inspection and
tabulation of Out-workers premises throughout the Borough.
The following form has been drawn up by the Medical Officer
for the use of the Female Sanitary Inspector:—
