Why were the factory workers on the ninth floor trapped?

That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
The factory’s layout and safety measures, or lack thereof, significantly contributed to the tragedy. One stairwell exit was rendered inaccessible by the encroaching flames, while the other had been locked by the factory owners, allegedly to prevent theft. This left the workers trapped inside the burning building with no viable escape routes.
