The occupier of a workshop must send to the Factory
Inspector a written notice of the name and address of the
workshop, and the nature of the work done therein, and this
notice must be forthwith forwarded by the Factory Inspector
to the Sanitary Authority.
Lists of outworkers have to be sent twice yearly to the
Sanitary Inspector by the occupiers and contractors of the
factories and workshops in which the following occupations
are carried on:—
The manufacture of articles of wearing apparel.
The manufacture of electro plate.
Cabinet and furniture making and upholstery work.
The manufacture of files.
The giving out of work for the manufacture of wearing
apparel.
It is desirable that these lists should be rearranged into
lists of outworkers living in the separate sanitary districts by
the Factory Department of the Home Office, and sent to the
Medical Officers of Health of the respective districts.
Processes in which yellow chromate of lead is used have
been added to the list of those previously certified by the
Home Secretary to be dangerous to health, and therefore
require the adoption of special precautions and regulations.
