1833 Factory Act

• No children under 9 were to work in factories (silk mills exempted).
• Children under 13 years were to work no more than 9 hours per day and 48 hours per week.
• Children under 18 were not to work nights.
• 4 paid Inspectors were appointed.
• Two 8-hour shifts per day of children were to be allowed

I think that this reform was necessary. The workers including the children were treated very badly, and even sometimes killed. I think that if this did not happen we would not be where we are today.
