U.S. Steel Safety Committees

Early in the 20th Century, steel mills were dangerous places to work. Between 1906 and 1910, it was estimated that almost one out of every four workers in U.S. Steel's mills would be killed or injured. In order to protect its workers and the company's production, U.S.Steel helped pioneer a safety program that was later copied by manufacturers around the world. Each of the company's mills created their own committees. Some of U.S. Steel's and Edgar Thomson's Saftey Committees are seen in this collection of images.
