ASSE 100th Anniversary Events

For the 100th commemoration of the March 25, 1911, Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire to be held in NY City, ASSE is working with the local ASSE chapter and the Remember the Triangle Fire Coalition to participate – also, some ASSE chapters may be joining with fire departments to commemorate this tragedy that resulted in the development and implementation of workplace safety rules and regulations and the founding of ASSE in NY City just months later in 1911.

We’re also looking forward to the Safety 2011 to be held June 12-15, 2011, in Chicago, and hope you can join us.
