Considering the subject of this thread I'm not so sure. Everywhere you look things are getting "safer" and personal responsibility is being actively discouraged. I mean, what does a track day company care if I were to ride in just shorts but never come off? Something I wouldn't do but surely some sort of carefully worded waver would cover it?

"Live to Ride, Ride to Live"
For that statistic to be meaningful we'd have to know what industries the deaths occurred in. There may well be some that could do with a bit of cleaning up (forestry springs to mind but not from personal experience).
Any way you slice it safety is never first. The first consideration for any living being is survival. Sometimes that means going out on a limb.

Directors are now responsible. They can go to prison if their staff have a serious accident.
Not a paper cut (unless it's in the eye I guess) . Suddenly they are interested.
Architects should be held responsible for daft arse design. with todays exciting weather our building entrance was a slippery hip cracker of a mess due to pathetic architectural design.
Next week I will no doubt see at least five important people standing around looking at the entrance wondering what to do (this happened last time). Nothing will happen. Oh - maybe a 'slippery' sign will be introduced.
