Is It Time to Rethink Your Head Protection?
In the late 1960s, prior to the Occupational Safety and Health Act’s existence, 14,000 workers were dying as the result of workplace injuries each year. By 2020, the number of workplace fatalities had fallen to just shy of 5,000—a roughly 60 percent decline.
