It has never been practical to simply disregard the practical financial and labor implications of human life and get the job done. If all your workers starve, they wont shovel. If there are no replacements, work stops.

I think what is interesting is the expansion from purely logistical/financial implications to include other considerations.

These other considerations including legal ones, as labor laws were passed, civil liability law developed, social sentiments changed, and welfare increased so that people didnt have to choose be 50% chance of death or starvation.
