The Factory and Workshop Act 1895 (58 & 59 Vict. c. 37) was an act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom intended to regulate the conditions, safety, health and wages of people working in factories. It gives an example of the serious problems in UK labour law at the beginning of the 20th century.
The whole act, except section 12, 24(3) and 28, was repealed by section 161 of, and part I of the seventh schedule to, the Factory and Workshop Act 1901 (1 Edw. 7. c. 22), which came into force on 1 January 1902.[1]
The whole act was repealed by section 1 of, and the first schedule to, the Statute Law Revision Act 1950 (14 Geo. 6. c. 6), which came into force on 23 May 1950.[2]
