Question

Why was working in a factory considered dangerous in the 1800s?

Answer 1

Because the working conditions were terrible.

In the days of the Industrial Revolution, the workday was abusive and inhuman, as it ranged from 10, 12, or even 18 hours of work, which meant that employees did not have a life outside the factory environment.

Other than that, in a pre-labor time, in the first factories, the working conditions were really unhealthy, mainly because of the lack of safety care, accidents were common, with mutilations of people, among other things.

Hope this helps :)
