This accident is the best example that illustrates how crucial is health and safety in the workplace. The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire was not the ordinary incident but the neglection of Organizational health and safety makes it obvious. Fire and garments are not meant for each other that pretty obvious, and this incident happened due to a cigarette which was thrown in the waste bin filled with garments. here it seems like this incident happened because one employee throw a cigarette in a waste bin which is clear but when we researched we found that negligence of health and safety also contributed same because the workers at the Shirtwaist Factory were allowed to smoke on the job (to save the break time and to increase productivity) as long as it didn’t interfere with their productivity.
