- Abstract
The article discusses the evolution of the modern safety movement in the U.S. It mentions the start of the movement in 1911 in response to the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire. It notes the introduction of the 300-29-1 injury pyramid by H.W. Heinrich in 1931 and the reinforcement of behavior-based safety in 2003. It also emphasizes the signing of the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSH) in 1970 by former President Richard Nixon and the need to establish a prevention culture.
