Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents the backdrop of re escapes, exits and panic bars installed in public buildings across Wisconsin in the response to two major workplace disasters in New York and Ohio that claimed hundreds of lives in 1911 and 1913. Out of these tragedies came a national outcry for building codes with the purpose of preventing or minimizing disastrous general conflagrations and preserving human life. This code, issued in 1914, provides insight into the development of building codes, the evolution of fire safety regulations and the gradual shift towards prioritizing human safety over just property protection in building design and construction. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
