In 1895, a committee on automatic sprinkler protection was formed in Massachusetts by individuals affiliated with several fire insurance companies and a pipe manufacturers to develop a uniform standard for the design and installation of fire sprinkler systems.
The next year, the committee published its initial report on a uniform standard, and went on to form the NFPA in late 1896.
In 1904, the NFPA began to expand its membership from affiliates of fire insurance companies to many other organizations and individuals.

Starting in the 1940s the use of safety harnesses versus body belts offered a better option of fall protection equipment.
Manufacturers were inspired by similar equipment worn by military paratroopers. Advancements of materials and design continued throughout the 1990s when the full-body harnesses became standard personal fall protection equipment.
The advent of the dorsal D-ring system provided ease of wear and allowed more effective weight distribution.
Design alterations such as adjustable and padded style harnesses provided a more comfortable wear. Employees became more likely to wear fall protection harnesses as it no longer hindered productivity at this time.
