Answer 3

During the Industrial Revolution period, no laws existed and so working in a factory could prove to be very dangerous indeed.

Answer 4

The working class lived in horrible conditions, work and home. The factories they had to work in were really dangerous and often the workers would get their hands stuck in the machines. They got beaten a lot and suffered deformities from standing in the same position for hours. They had to work long hours(16) with little pay and barely had any breaks. When they went home, they lived in tight spaced tenements with absolutely no sanitation. Diseases spread quickly and pollution didn't help.
