Outworkers
Fifty visits have been made by the Public Health Inspectors to
the homes of persons notified as outworkers to the department. It has
been found that the home conditions are quite satisfactory.
The following table shows, by trades, the number of outworkers
residing in the district, and who were notified to me in the August lists
as required by Section 110(i)(c) of the Factories Act, 1937:—
Wearing apparel 27
Artificial flowers 1
Lampshades 11
Making of brushes 1
Making of boxes 1
There were no cases of default in sending lists to the Council
(Section 110) and no instances of work in unwholesome premises
(Section 111).
