(4) Other duties of the Local Authority in connection
with workshops are directed to the following points.
(1) Sanitary Accommodation.
(2) Air Spaces.
(3) Cleanliness.
(4) Ventilation.
(5) Safety from Fires.
In discharge of this Act the following steps have
been taken:—
(а) A register has been compiled and contains particulars
of 75 premises where work is carried on.
(b) A list of Home Workers, obtained from the employers
is kept. Information was received from the Borough
of Richmond as to Home workers living within this
District. One outworker resided outside this
District and the Local Authority of such District
was informed. No case of Infectious Disease
occurred at the house of a notified Home Worker.
(a) Sauitary Accommodation. In the course of inspection
of the Workshops, &c., attention was paid to the
sanitary accommodation and with two exceptions
was found to be sufficient and suitable. In the first
case the extra accommodation was provided after
service of notice, and work in the second case is at
present in progress. The conveniences at one
Factory were found to be in a dirty state on two
occasions but were cleansed without service of notice
in both instances.
