One of the main effects of the industrial revolution is working conditions. There were no laws back then regulated what factories could do with their biohazard waste(BCP). Many factories work hours were long almost up to12 to 15 hours a day (OCS). Many those machines they work on were dangerous. Many people lives the factories they worked at and at times they would get horribly beaten like they were kids they were often slaved away. The working conditions were so bad that they had 20 years less in there life because they had no heath benefits. When people lived there it felt like that was more horrifying than working inside the factory. Just as working conditions were horrible they had no child labor laws to stop children from working and punishing them like the adults.

No laws prevented businesses from hiring seven-year-old children to work full time in coal mines or factories(BCP).
The upper middle class children had a chance of being educated while lower class children did not (OCS). The children were mistreated the worst during this time period. If they did not wake up when they were supposed to they were beaten. They were giving a small breakfast and that would be the only meal they got until dinner time. Most children were forced to work because there family income was so poor. Most children were hired because they were small and they could fit in the little small spaces. The children safety was usually neglected or they didn’t have any. The orphans were the ones they treated like slaves at times. There was over 1000 children dying a day due to the bad conditions. The poor child labor urbanization was developed to help with better working conditions , wages, and help populate
cites. Urbanization Some people moved away from the small villages and towns to work in factories with better working conditions (OCS). The job opportunities and prince decrease definitely improved the lives of the people, giving them a chance to be a part of the society and be able to purchase products at a price that wasn’t too bad (123). The new factories they worked had treated them like human beings not animals. They had brakes, shorter hours, better working conditions, and they had better pay wages. The main reason why they were giving better working conditions in those cities so they can grow there population. The adults could support there families and be safe at work and not worry about if there going to die on the job.
Conclusion
Working conditions, Child labor treatment/violation, and urbanization were the impacts of the industrial revolution. After the factory act in 1833 children had to be 9 years old to work in the factories. Children 9-13 were only able to work less then 8 hours. The children who were 13-18 could only work no more then 12 hours. It benefited the rules for the children working in the factories.
