Workplace Safety

Despite efforts to reduce the risks to workers, the workplace remains a dangerous place.  In 2009, more than 4,300 Americans died as a result of accidents on the job.  News Release, U.S. Dept. of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics (Oct. 12, 2010).  243 of those fatalities occurred in Florida.  More than 1.2 million non-fatal workplace injuries and illnesses occurred in 2009.  Economic News Release, U.S. Dept. of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics (Nov. 9, 2010) Injuries occur in all workplaces, though most commonly in manufacturing, construction and goods-producing industries. More than half of those injuries are serious enough to require one or more days away from work, job transfer, or work restrictions.
