1880 with the rapid increase of steel production.
 Weaving machines and other equipment
 Labor was untrained and unskilled.
 The worker’s plight – 1900
 1111--13 hrs exposure to accident potential
 Public sympathy rises – labor organization
 Pittsburgh/Survey – 1900
(Completed at Pennsylvania)

 Revealed that 526 fatal industrial accidents occurred in this

country alone during the 12 months of 1906-
