The Rule of 8:
The use of child labor was common during the Industrial Revolution in Britain. The typical work day ranged from 10 to 16 hours, six days a week and rest on the seventh. The mentality at the time was that if it was good enough for God, it was good enough for men.

In 1817, Welsh social reformer Robert Owen proposed the rule of eight, coining the slogan: “Eight hours’ labor, Eight hours’ recreation, Eight hours’ rest.” Unfortunately, it was only men who received this option. Women and children were still expected to put in a “full day’s work” until 1847 when they were granted 10-hour workdays.

Even Ebenezer Scrooge thought that management style was a bit over the top.

“Hey Bob… Have a sixpence and give Tiny Tim the week off work…”

The Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety cites studies that when “workers have slept for less than 5 hours before work or have been awake for more than 16 hours, their chance of making mistakes at work due to fatigue are significantly increased.”

The study goes as far as comparing the effects of sleep deprivation to being drunk. 21 hours without sleep is equivalent to a blood alcohol content of 0.08 (the legal limit in Canada). As of 2013, 52 countries recognize the Hours of Work (Industry) Convention, 1919 which upholds the principle of the 8-hour work day.

We hit the history books to highlight the history of safety with some of the driving factors behind the improvements to employee safety.
