Was a critical moment in Health and Safety history

When the Golden Gate Bridge was built in the 1930s, Chief Engineer Joseph Strauss insisted on spending $130,000 on a massive safety net beneath the work site. It was one of the first large scale safety measures of its kind and ended up saving 19 men who fell, each of whom joined what became known as the Halfway to Hell Club. Though 11 workers still lost their lives, the net marked a turning point in construction safety and showed that protecting workers could be prioritized even on the toughest projects.
