The number of new female outworkers' premises (not previously
registered) registered during the year was 24, and there
were 26 removed from the register.
Inspections of female outworkers' premises were made, by
the woman workshops' inspector (Miss Round) to the number of
323. It was found necessary to serve two notices under the Public
Health (London) Act, 1891, to remedy defects. Two cases of infectious
disease, viz.: scarlet fever and erysipelas were notified from
female outworkers' premises. Such precautionary measures as
were necessary were taken to prevent spread of infection in these
cases.
Bakehouses.
There were 61 bakehouses on the register at the end of 1933.
Of these 52 use power, and are therefore technically factories.
Forty-one of the bakehouses are above ground, and 20 are under
ground. One bakehouse was removed from the register, being no
longer so used, and 3 were added, all these being above ground.
Inspections made during the year numbered 200, of which
182 were to factory bakehouses, and 42 intimation and 12 statutory
notices were served, mainly for failure to carry out the half-yearly
lime-whiting of the bakehouses within the statutory period.
Warehouses and Wharves.
At the end of 1933, there were 57 premises on the register,
including railway yards. These premises were systematically
inspected during the year, and 87 inspections were made. Three
intimation and 1 statutory notice were served to remedy nuisances
found on inspection. All these notices were complied with.
