The Triangle Shirtwaist factory disaster, which occurred on March 25, 1911, was primarily caused by poor safety conditions, including locked exit doors and insufficient fire escapes. The factory was overcrowded, and workers were unable to escape quickly when a fire broke out due to the lack of proper safety measures and inadequate fire regulations. These factors, combined with the highly flammable materials used in garment production, led to the tragic deaths of 146 workers, highlighting the urgent need for labor reforms and improved workplace safety standards.
