I went ahead and got you all a link to the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire.

Which was a rather famous fire that killed so many people, because the stairwells were locked.

Please remember that OSHA rules are written in blood.

Random plug for the LeVar Burton Reads episode with Stephen King’s Afterlife, in which this tragedy is tangentially related to the story.
