![55 HOME WORK DONE BY OUTWORKERS. In certain industries specified in the Home Work Orders made by the Home Secretary, if work is given out by employers or contractors to be done in private houses, the workers are known as Outworkers and the premises in which they work are subject to inspection by the Sanitary Inspectors of the Borough Council. In Fulham this duty is carried out by the Woman Sanitary Inspector. The object of the inspections is to prevent such work being done in unwholesome premises or in houses in which infectious diseases are present. The following table gives the number of Outworkers' premises in the Borough, the nature or the work carried on and the classification of the Outworkers' premises into factories, work shops and workplaces:— Nature of Work.
