that they developed. They did not have to pay much attention to the health and
safety of the people who worked for them. Often new products were dangerous for
the people who used them; often conditions in the work place had very bad
effects on the health of the workers. Of course sometimes there were real disasters which attracted the attention of governments and which showed need for changes.
