We must adopt this proactive posture if we hope to preserve the standards of our parents and our grandparents and our great grandparents. the standards that they struggled to establish for us. Just to review history briefly. and I think it is important to do that. we do not talk about history enough and what our folks did before us. Just remember that. at the turn of the century. industrial accidents were killing 35.000 American workers each year. An additional 500.000. a half million. were being maimed. It took a fire that claimed the lives of 146 immigrant women locked inside the Triangle Shirt Waist Company to ignite a movement for workplace safety. And we got workplace safety standards. Today. most Americans take their right to a safe workplace for granted.
