Group Says Workers Now Not As Safe
The private watchdog National Safe Workplace Institute says workplace safety has deteriorated in the 1980s as the rate of fatalities declines slowed from the 1970s. It cites Mount Sinai findings that about one in eleven workers suffer work related injury or illness and that high risk industries show higher death risk if trends remain. OSHA officials dispute some conclusions while noting overall declines in fatalities and injuries.
