OUTWORKERS AND "HOME" WORKERS.
The provisions of the Act relating to Outworkers were carried out as heretofore,
and the lists of the names and addresses of Outworkers receiving work from the City
firms were duly received without the necessity of legal proceedings.
Employers of Outworkers in the City of London were provided with a copy of
the "prescribed" form which is required to be used in connection with the transmission
of the names and addresses, &c.
In a number of cases employers neglect to keep lists at their premises and to
send copies of the same to the Corporation as required by the Act. Notice in each case
was served upon the offender and in all cases complied with.
No case of infectious disease was reported in connection with premises occupied
by Outworkers in the City. In 13 cases "contacts" were notified as follows:—
Chicken-pox, 1; Scarlet Fever, 12. The necessary enquiries were made in each case
and all precautions taken.
