Americans don't work industrial jobs anymore. All the steel mill maimings are happening in China. What's the rate within a specific profession? Has it stayed constant for e.g. electrical line repair workers? (Not just trying to deflect here, sorry. I should have anticipated your point there. I was aware of the trend you speak of.)
- retrac 5y agoTo answer my own question: I pieced together a partial picture from scattered data for fatalities and serious injuries in electrical utility workers from the late 80s onward for Ireland, UK and USA. It seems to have got a bit better through the early 2000s and is maybe flat recently. In any case not worse than the 80s as I conjectured carelessly, though not sharply better either.
