Homework.
This term has reference to persons who carry on certain classes
of work in their own homes. Under the Factory and Workshop
Act very important powers are given to District Councils for
controlling the (sanitary) conditions under which the work is done.
These powers aim at the prevention of homework being done
(1) in dwellings which are injurious to the health of the workers
themselves—e.g., through overcrowding, want of ventilation, or
other insanitary defects; (2) in premises where there is dangerous
infectious disease.
The homeworkers residing in Battersea are employed by firms
established in the Borough, and by firms belonging to other
Boroughs.
