According to the fire marshal, this mess caused the fire to grow very quickly that they some workers had no time to escape. Also, the doors were locked to prevent the workers from stealing and leaving early. In my opinion, the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory lacked of safety and cleaning environment. This was hundreds years ago, that's why it lacked of firefighting equipment because back in the day, things were different. Thus, all factories lacked of safety conditions.
They specialized in making shirtwaists, the very popular women's blouse that had a tight waist and puffy sleeves. Approximately 500 people, mostly immigrant women, worked at the Triangle Waist Company's factory in the Asch Building. They worked long hours, six days a week, in cramped quarters and were paid low wages. Many of the workers were young, some only age 13 or 14. On Saturday, March 25, 1911, a fire started on the eighth floor.
They were unsafe because there were no regulations on how they were built. Some tenements didn’t even have windows or fire escapes. As a result many immigrants were caught and killed in fires (OK). Some groups tried to change the living conditions for the better. Immigrants worked in sweatshops that were dangerous.
Trolley service was completely cut by a sympathy strike a short time after the negotiations began. The power strike also caused other strikes to follow; like when the city’s eight major hotels to close when hotel restaurant employees walked off their jobs to enforce wage demands. The Pittsburgh power strike of 1946 was a just one of the many strike during 1946. The United States was at a time where it was just coming out of the war, and workers went one strike because they knew they could get more money out of their employers. Work Cited
Hubert works in a printing factory and does different shifts each week. His workplace could therefore contribute to stress as the environment raises hazardous issues. Due to the fact that, the physical arrangement of the work place is a potential source of stress for him. The factory would probably have intense levels of noise and increase in temperature. Moreover there would be no personal space or privacy at a factory.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reports that there are an estimated 550 to 650 surgical fires in the Unites States (US) each year that result in serious physical injury to patients with some of those cases resulted in death (Food and Drug Administration, 2012). There are no cases of surgical fire in this hospital but that does not mean that it will never happen. Accidents can happen when least expected, and because this hospital’s mission is patient safety it is imperative that measures are taken to prevent surgical fires from happening. Surgical fire is a devastating event that causes serious illness, deformity, and death. This will have a massive impact to the patient and patient’s family.
The Triangle Shirtwaist Company made shirtwaist style ladies’ blouses, popularized in an expanding retail market for ‘ready to wear’ clothing. The company, owned by Max Blanck and Isaac Harris, moved in to the top three floors of the new ten story Asch Building at the South end of Manhattan Island in New York. (Hopkinson, 2003)The clothing factory employed close to 500 men, women, and children. The majority were young, female, Jewish or Italian immigrants who worked seventy-two hour work weeks sewing clothes for a measly $1.50 per
Most of the time he would just look at a fire and know exactly where the point of origin was. It wasn’t until later that they would realize that it wasn’t because he was a good arson investigator, but because he was the arsonist who had started them. The first trial for John was when he was being tried for five counts of arson. Two in Bakersfield, two in Fresno and one in Tulare. In almost every arson that occurred a delay device was found that had been used to start the fires.
This is because although they were successful it created major problems for Heaths government and even those who succeeded them. The continuous miners strikes led to Heath pulling tough measures, which included the three-day week. This is because the government didn’t want to just give into the miners and in the contrast Heath wanted to defeat them by limiting ‘the use of electricity to three specified days per week’-Heath. However this restrictive measure led to a significant uproar, as it was similar to the austerities, which ordinary people had experienced from the war such as people not having heating, unable to cook and sitting by candlelight. This shows that the ordinary people didn’t gain anything from the unrest in 1973/4 as it caused major inconveniences in the home highlighting that it was an issue.
But even with such pressure, these put their lives before others. Agreed that they work to earn money and support their family, but then again they could have taken any other job. Why this? The same goes for any blue-collar worker. They too impact greatly on the whole community and even their jobs are life-threatening at times (such as a miner; the methane levels in the mines make it a hazardous environment for miners as even a spark from their tools could light a spark and the whole mine would catch fire, harming everyone).
