A major hazard was fire, due to the combustibility of fabrics, accumulations of lint and dust and lighting used in the factories. Getting caught in machinery was another- lack of guarding on moving parts, drive belts, etc. Finally the exposure to high noise levels and breathing airborne fibers. The last can cause a health problem called byssinosis or Brown Lung Disease.
