Can Mining the Sixth-Most Dangerous Industry Be Made Safer? Ask Snyder!

摘要

A recent report by Safe Work Australia reiterates what most mine workers probably already acknowledge, i.e. that mining work comes with inherent dangers for workers. In 2009-2010, the industry had 14.9 serious injury claims per 1000 employees and six fatalities for a rate of 3.5 per 100,000 workers. Not willing to leave safety to chance, change agents like Gov. Rick Snyder are willing to take, head-on, the challenge of phasing out existing legislative laws.
