After increased fear of nuclear attacks during the cold war, materials to build fall out shelters were distributed by the government and other organizations. The shelters were meant to protect people from radiation in case of a nuclear attack.
The government communicated about the fallouts to the public in several ways:
i) Schools were supposed to have drills and study materials on how to be protected.
II) Information booklets were distributed accompanied by frequent radio PSAs
iii) Children songs were created with information on nuclear preparedness.
iv) Public videos were made and shown to the public i.e. "Duck and Cover" film for kids.
Well, the short answer to this is lack of safety regulations. During that period of time, workers are expected to work very long hours with little time to rest. The pay is poor while children also worked to make a living. Sadly, in some of these cases, children died or are injured from the machines they are operating. For example, the cotton gin. If a child's hand or finger got stuck in it, the hand or finger is gone.
