Agreed but sometimes numbers don't tell the whole story for the individuals or their loved ones. Interesting read and was struck by the 80'-95' chart showing Motor vehicle related per 100k was the highest by a large margin followed by workplace homicides 90'-95' and how these would relate to unintentional or safety related¿ Also the numbers/percentages really don't talk about the 3+ fold increase in population nor population density since then. But I agree that overall the workplace is more safety "Conscious"...which is what it's all about in my book.

Also that first study of Allegheny County is coal country and mining is the most dangerous occupation next to steel work...not sure if it should be included but probably because it was the first study.

As a safety officer during the Re-Cal OSHA Hey Day (mid 80's), I found them to be much more about conscious thinking than writing unenforceable rules based on a desk jockies thoughts of what safety is and "Should Be". During a clean up campaign I put together for the company, people got that about consciousness being the first order to safety...except one department head I caught standing on a roll around swivel chair trying to change his own florescent light...at a boy Luther! The campaign turn out to be a lot of fun and was a big success and he got the Awe S*** award at the big company dinner afterwards. Don't think he'll ever do that again.
