For two centuries, workers in every industry and from every background have collectivized in order to secure safe and healthy working conditions. Huge leaps have been made in that time, but because around 15 people per day died on job sites in the U.S. in 2019, there is still much work to be done.
When thinking about what we can do to reach zero worker fatalities, it’s helpful to look back and begin to understand what efforts contributed to the successes achieved so far.
