this is a good article.
but, it seems like deaths caused by accidents in manufacturing plants are more clearly measurable than deaths caused by chronic stress in, say, nursing, corporate law, wall street high finance or programming, etc
also, it's quite possibly easier to reduce or prevent deaths by accident in manufacturing plants because the cause/effect linkage is direct. but psychological stress is not so easy to measure and reduce.
so, the system is biased toward being horrified at manufacturing deaths and then instituting active systems and safeguards to prevent those deaths.
but some lawyer who has a heart attack at their desk while trying to finish up a huge workload -- how do you put a guard rail against that?
