HOME WORK.
All the out-workers' premises were inspected at least once during the year by
the Lady Sanitary Inspector, details of which are given in the table. Many of
these inspections of home-workers' premises are also made during house to house
and periodical inspections of lodging houses and dwelling houses in which homeworkers
reside.
On the 23rd May, 1907, the Home Secretary issued a new Order which
extended the sections relating to lists of out-workers; to employment in unwholesome
premises; and to the prohibition of home work in places where there is infectious
disease, to the following classes of work :—
The making of artificial flowers.
The making of nets other than wire nets.
The making of tents.
