In April of 2011, a blog post from the United States Department of Labor stated, “Every day in America, 12 people go to work and never come home.” Though this number is down from the 38 workers killed daily before OSHA, 12 workplace deaths are still too many.
Workers are hurt and/or killed far too often while they are simply trying to earn a living to raise their families. Factories pose risks such as heavy machinery amputations, hazardous chemical exposure, and pollutant inhalation. Public service workers such as police and firefighters face daily challenges with dangerous offenders and risky situations. Bank tellers and convenience store workers often deal with robberies and violent customers. Even office workers may suffer from ergonomic issues or unsafe environments. Every worker has the right to a safe work environment, but unfortunately, not every worker is given this chance.
