OUTWORKERS
Twice yearly notifications are received from occupiers of factories within the Borough of persons
employed on specified work outside the factory. If the person does not reside within the Borough
details must be transferred to the local authority for his place of residence. Thus, all Councils know
those factories within their area which employ outworkers and any person employed as an outworker
who lives in their administrative area.
During the year four notifications were received by this Authority, involving six persons who
reside within the area and seven who did not. In addition, 187 persons resident in, but employed by
factories outside the Borough, were also engaged on outwork. 275 inspections were made of premises
occupied by outworkers; no contraventions were noted.
