factory safety
Industrial hazard prevention
Factory safety encompasses the practices, equipment, and regulations designed to protect workers from injury in manufacturing environments.
This includes machine guards, protective gear, ventilation systems, and training protocols.
The term gained prominence with industrialization, as dangerous conditions in early factories prompted labor reforms: The company was fined for factory safety violations.
Modern factory safety extends to ergonomics, chemical exposure limits, and emergency procedures.
