There's not a hard hat, safety boot, ear defenders or protective goggles in sight.
It's an industrial safety nightmare. I wonder what the injury record was like?

I'm guessing, quite full.

By 1935 the processes were pretty refined so there weren't many big surprises. If you were paying attention, there was a small chance of getting hurt. The problem is you had to be paying attention 99% of the time which is tough to do 12 hours a day six days a week.
If you screwed up, got caught off guard, it was usually serious.
