Working conditions were poor and sometimes dangerous. Unlike today, workers during the Industrial Revolution were expected to work long hours or they would lose their jobs. Many workers had to work 12 hour days, six days a week. They didn't get time off or vacations.

Factory conditions were awful lots of deaths and injuries, they didn’t turn machines off and punishments were harsh for mistakes, whippings were normal long hours were normal and dust in peoples lungs caused major problems eg coughing up blood. the way they treated people was un humane but because the people working were lower class they had no say in how they were treated
