Today, safetyregulations require industries to ensure that factory air meets an acceptable safety standard ratherthan relying on individual respirators.In the 1930s, the National Labor Relations Act made it a legal right to unionize. At the time,labor was emerging as a powerful force to uplift health and safety issues. This coincided withWorld War II, which brought safety issues to the forefront and tied it to productivity (Bingham,1980). Slogans such as “save a day to keep working, save a day to keep him flying” helpedemphasize the importance of smooth and safe working conditions for productivity. Still, thesewere voluntary efforts and relied on the goodwill of industries (Ibid).The 1960s were a time when three major movements came to the head

The goal of improving assessmentmeasures was to improve grading accuracy and also provide interventional feedback to thelearner. As additional rationale, the School of Engineering was required to assess leadership inits capstone courses because the capstone was identified as a course that fulfills some of theleadership requirements at The Citadel.
