Answer:

In Manhattan, New York City, on 25 March 1911, the disastrous Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire took place.

It was confirmed that 146 individuals died of asphyxiation, smoke inhalation, fire burns, collapsing buildings that caved under pressure and damaged buildings, and there were others who leapt to their deaths.

In the wake of the horrific incident,

  1. Between 1911 and 1913, 60 new regulations were introduced that mandated better entry to and escape from houses, as well as numerous other safety procedures, including but not limited to fireproofing standards, fire extinguishers construction, fire alarm devices and automatic sprinklers, etc. The legislation further established services for employees' comfort and set a limit on the number of hours women and children could operate in a day.
  2. The establishment of the Factory Investigation Committee by the New York State legislature is another shift that has arisen.

The American Society of Safety Workers was commissioned in New York City on October 14th 1911 with the objective of investigating situations within and beyond New York City to discover situations that can be prevented using the power of the legislature.

Cheers.
