Losing Life and Limb on the Job

BY CHRISTOPHER D. COOK * At one wheel factory in Virginia, workers are
losing their fingers. OSHA is not up to its task in this plant--or in
thousands of others around the country. 

The above article might shed some light on the job-related injury/illness
stats, but you'll have to track down a "hard copy" (not available on-line).
Cook is one the better left-liberal writers on worker's health and safety
issues around -- written some award-winning pieces on poultry processing
plants in the Midwest.
