What factors posed danger to the health and safety of factory work- ers during the Industrial Revolution? Select all that apply. A \( \quad \) injury from machinery accidents B \( \quad \) close contact with other workers C poor air inside factories D stress from long working hours

During the Industrial Revolution, factory workers faced numerous health and safety hazards. The factors that posed significant dangers include: **A. Injury from machinery accidents** - Factories were equipped with large, often unguarded machinery. Workers were at high risk of getting caught in moving parts, leading to severe injuries or fatalities. **C. Poor air inside factories** - Factories frequently had inadequate ventilation, leading to exposure to dust, fumes, and other harmful pollutants. This poor air quality contributed to respiratory problems and other health issues among workers. **D. Stress from long working hours** - Workers often faced excessively long hours with little rest, leading to physical exhaustion, mental stress, and increased susceptibility to illnesses. **B. Close contact with other workers** is **less directly** related to the primary health and safety dangers of the Industrial Revolution compared to the other options. While crowded working conditions could contribute to the spread of diseases, the most significant dangers were associated with machinery, air quality, and long working hours. **Therefore, the correct answers are A, C, and D.** **Selected Options:** - A. injury from machinery accidents - C. poor air inside factories - D. stress from long working hours
