Same can be said for seat belts, but it's the wrong metric to measure efficacy. Overall, they prevent injury/loss of life magnitudes more than they contribute to it.

To be clear, I'm not in doubt of the safety superiority of motorcycle helmets when riding a bike. But wearing one at a jobsite seems to introduce more risk then it prevents (as @dsfyu404ed mentions).
