Factories with unsafe working conditions often lack proper safety measures, such as adequate ventilation, fire exits, and protective equipment, exposing workers to hazards like toxic materials or machinery accidents. Common industries with such conditions include textiles, construction, and electronics, where labor laws may be poorly enforced. Workers in these environments may face long hours, inadequate training, and health risks, leading to accidents and chronic health issues. Efforts to improve conditions include regulatory oversight, labor rights advocacy, and corporate responsibility initiatives.
