Domestic Workshops; i.e. private houses, places, or
rooms, where no power is used, and in which the only persons
employed are members of the same family dwelling there, are,
like domestic factories, subject to special regulations with
regard to hours of labour, and not subject to the provisions of
the Act which relate to meal times, affixing notices, holidays,
notices of accidents, keeping a general register, the means of
ventilation, thermometers, and the drainage of floors.
There are 345 domestic workshops in the Borough.
Although registration is not required the premises are visited
with a view to remedying any insanitary conditions. A
detailed analysis of workshops is set out in Table 25.
