The year of the first law that we can find on the books that covers any portion of blue-collar workers. This is often a law covering miners or only those who work in extremely dangerous forms of work such as construction, mining and extraction involving explosives, massive objects or structures and/or explosives. This is almost always the same as the first law in a country. In rare cases this law can pre-date a first law because of geopolitical territorial relations. For example, in what is modern day Croatia there is a law in 1907 that was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. This certainly impacted people whose descendants became part of the USSR in 1922, but was not really a law ‘within’ this country. This is sometimes a grey area, and we do our best to infer based on the available data.
