A register of bakehouses is also kept.
The registered workshops were inspected two or three times
in the year, some every month.
The number of premises notified within the district as used by
outworkers is 870, but this number varies with each six monthly
return, see Table D, pages 119, 120 and 121.
The places where the outworkers are employed were inspected all
of them twice during the year, some more frequently.
See Miss Tattersall's report, pages 235 and 236, and the Sanitary
Inspector's reports, pages 181, 194, 199, 206, 213, 224 and 232.
For outworkers connected with infectious cases, see page 59.
A special form is submitted by the Secretary of State for the guidance
of Medical Officers of Health (see page 119) in preparing the report on
factories and workshops in pursuance of section 132 of the Factory and
Workshop Act 1901.
In order that the form may be filled in without any difficulty from year
to year, the Sanitary Inspectors have been urgently requested to give
full and complete descriptions of the premises visited where any work
is carried on, and to classify such premises in their note books before
handing them to the clerks for the particulars to be entered in the
journals, registers and index files.
It can be easily understood that the classification of premises where
work is executed will vary from time to time, according to the pressure
of work or the nature of the work carried on—outworkers premises may
become domestic workshops, and also workshops, and even factories;
workshops may become factories; and workplaces may become workshops
or factories, between the visits of the Sanitary Inspectors.
