Domestic Workshops:—i.e., private houses, places, or
rooms, where no power is used, and in which the only persons
employed are members of the same family dwelling there, are
like domestic factories, subject to special regulations with regard
to hours of labour, and not subject to the provisions of the Act
which relate to meal times, affixing notices, holidays, notices of
accidents, keeping a general register, the means of ventilation,
thermometers, and the drainage of floors.
There are 387 domestic workshops in the district.
Although registration is not required a list of these premises is
kept and the premises visited with a view to remedying any
insanitary conditions. A detailed analysis of workshops is set
out in Table 29.
