Why was inspector clause set in 1912?

The Inspectorate Clause was established in 1912 as part of the broader reforms in response to the public outcry over unsafe working conditions and exploitation in various industries, particularly after the tragic Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire in 1911. It aimed to ensure better oversight and regulation of labor practices, focusing on the welfare of workers and the enforcement of safety standards. This development reflected the growing labor movement and the push for improved rights and protections for workers during the early 20th century.
