What was the effect of the triangle shirtwaist company owners not providing fire exits or fire escapes?
The owners of the Triangle Shirtwaist company rented their factory space. Their landlord did provide fire exits and fire escapes. However, the fire escapes became overloaded as too many people tried to exit that way too quickly. The fire exits were closed and locked, as was a common practice at that time, to better control unauthorized absences and breaks and to prevent theft. After the fire, more emphasis was placed on increasing the number of fire escapes and on keeping fire exits usable. But even today, a century later, companies are being cited for blocking or locking fire exits.
