This book traces the process whereby Britain moved from being a society without industrial safety legislation to one in which a multitude of laws sought to protect the worker at the workplace. Ranging from the beginning of the reform movement to the passing of the Workmen's Compensation Act, the authors look at the legal and financial position of workers in the 1830s and before; the 19th-century statistics on work injury in mines, railways, and factories; and the significance of the new industrial law.
