Scenarios about 'occupational safety'
The systematic protection of workers from hazards, injuries, and illnesses in workplace environments through regulations, procedures, and safety equipment. Occupational safety emerged as a significant concern during the Industrial Revolution when dangerous working conditions led to high casualty rates, eventually prompting government regulations, labor movements, and employer accountability measures. Its implementation has dramatically reduced workplace fatalities and injuries, though alternate history scenarios often explore worlds with different safety standards or technological developments affecting worker protection.
