UK is the place of birth of the Industry Revolution 1.0. Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 was born with recommendation from Lord Alfred Robens. This act provides an a proactive approach with the cooperation between the management and the employee.
Prior to the act, begins in the mining and followed by the industry (factory) sectors, the occupational safety laws were of reactive bureaucratic approach.
