Factory and Workshop Act, 1909.
The condition of the factories and workshops throughout
the District is now up to a fair standard.
Outworkers.
In accordance with the provisions of the Factory and
Workshop Act, several lists of outworkers residing in this District
have been received during the year, from persons employing
home workers. These lists have mostly come through the office
of the Corporation of London, and other Metropolitan Boroughs.
The premises specified in these lists have been visited for
the purpose of ascertaining the sanitary condition under which
the work is done. In all cases where defects were found the
remedial works have been carried out.
The Factory and Workshops Act, 1901, requires the registration
and regular inspection of such places and the keeping of
a series of books for that purpose.
The Workshops in the District are very suitable and well
adapted for the several processes that are carried on therein, the
light, ventilation, and air space is well maintained, and general
sanitary conditions are good,
