This book is an in-depth exploration of the factory inspection reports from the Rhode Island Bureau of Industrial Statistics between 1889 and 1894. These reports document working conditions in factories, mercantile establishments, and workshops throughout the state during a period of rapid industrialization. The reports provide a unique glimpse into the everyday lives of Rhode Island's working class during the late 19th century. They offer detailed descriptions of factory conditions, including information on wages, hours, safety measures, and the physical and social environment of the workplace. The reports also include data on accidents, injuries, and deaths, as well as recommendations for improving working conditions. This book is an important resource for anyone interested in the history of labor in the United States. It provides a valuable firsthand account of the challenges and dangers faced by workers in the late 19th century and offers insights into the origins of the labor movement and the development of workplace safety regulations.
