OUTWORKERS
Outworkers.—Employers of outworkers in certain classes of work are required
to keep lists of the names and addresses of all outworkers employed by them and
to send twice annually (in February and August) copies of such lists for the information
of the local authority. From this information, the local authority is able to take
steps to ensure that the places in which the outworkers are employed are not
injurious or dangerous to the health of the workers and that goods are not distributed
from premises where there is dangerous infectious disease.

Table: The following is a summary of the information secured from the employers lists during the year:—
