“Each year, over one million workers are injured seriously enough to require time away from work. Daily, more than 13,000 U.S. workers sustain injuries on the job that are serious enough to require medical consultation, 11 workers die from an unintentional injury suffered at work, and 145 workers die from work?related diseases. This burden costs industry and citizens an estimated $3.4 billion per week,” the safety groups wrote in their letters to the Senate and House.
