The Lewis Report

The Lewis Report was a government review conducted in the late 1930s to assess the health and safety standards of Britain's mining industry. It examined working conditions, safety practices, and the well-being of miners, recommending improvements to reduce accidents and occupational diseases. The report highlighted the need for better safety equipment, regular inspections, and worker training. Its findings aimed to modernize the industry, protect miners, and promote safer, more efficient mining operations. The Lewis Report served as a foundation for subsequent reforms and improvements in mining safety practices in the UK.
