jan 1, 1840 - Public Health Act
Description:
The Brittish government set up the General Board of Health. They investigated the sanitary and working conditions. Another thing that they did was ensure safe housing for the people. They also worked on getting clean water for the workers and citizens. This is important because, without these laws and rules, people would be sick and dying. These laws still hold up today in First World Countries.Added to timeline:
