Lord Ripon enacted the first Factory Act of 1881. The welfare of minors employed was the main objective of the Factory Act of 1881.

It is also required that children aged 7 to 12 receive a daily break of one hour and cannot be forced to labour for more than nine hours. Each month, they must also take four days off.
