The movement to improve workplace safety was significantly influenced by several key events, including the Industrial Revolution, which brought about dangerous working conditions in factories. High-profile accidents, such as the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire in 1911, where many workers lost their lives due to unsafe practices, galvanized public outrage and highlighted the need for reform. Additionally, the establishment of labor unions advocated for safer working environments, pushing for regulations and standards to protect workers. These events collectively spurred legislative actions, leading to the creation of safety regulations and organizations like the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).
