Report of the Medical Officer of Health.
The next Table shows in detail the work of the Inspectors in
factories and workshops where males are chiefly employed.
The Table shows the work done in each sub-district and is
grouped under five divisions: (1) factories, (2) workshops, (3)
domestic workshops, (4) workplaces, and (5) outworkers' premises.
The total number of inspections was 2,768, compared with
3,175 in 1909, 2,263 in 1908, 2,408 in 1907 and 1,964 in 1906, and
re-inspections 1,534, compared with 1,184, 1,394, and 1,649,
a total of 4,302, compared with 4,359 in the previous year.
848 of the inspections and 226 of the re-inspections were in
Clapham, 226 and 289 in Putney, 667 and 406 in Streatham, 229
and 125 in Tooting, and 798 and 465 in Wandsworth.
Three workshops where males were employed were notified
to H.M. Inspector, and 49 were reported to this Council by H.M.
Inspector, the majority of these having been previously entered on
the Register.
In all the workshops under the supervision of the male
Inspectors only one case of overcrowding was discovered, and
this was at once remedied.
