Workshops.
Workshops include any premises (not being factories) in
which manual labour is exercised by way of trade or for purposes
of gain in or incidental to the making, altering, repairing,
finishing or adapting for sale of any article, and to or over which
the employer of the persons there has the right of access or
control.
The workshops in Battersea are under the supervision of
two Workshop Inspectors, one male and one female, who deal
respectively with premises where male or female labour is
employed.
