Raghu,
It would have been better if you clarified that this is a US Govt. Report. It is always good to know the figures for other countries to compare with ours, to see where we stand and what our national goal should be, how we can reach it, and what our strategy and programs should be for the same.
I quote from the file you have attached:
"the rate of fatal work injury for U.S. workers in 2010 was 3.5 per 100,000 full-time equivalent (FTE) workers, the same as the final rate for 2009...."
Do you know the corresponding figures for India? This question is open to all readers for a reply.
I also wonder how the US figures are relevant to our situation.

Dear Sir,
The inclusion of experienced professionals like you in discussions will always be encouraging. In India, obtaining consolidated data is challenging. Even if sourced from a government authority in India, it may not be entirely reliable, as industries are not consistently reporting cases, with Factory Inspectorates often backing them. Given this scenario, how can we expect to compile accurate accident data from India?

That is the point, Dipil. How do we change the situation and how do we ourselves contribute to the change we expect? Where is ANNA of OSH movement in India? Is this not corruption, and nations should not do anything on useless loss of lives of innocent workers?

Dear PTRC,
As Dipil mentioned, right in India, I don't know the exact percentage, but most companies don't have record-keeping or accident reporting policies, especially construction companies, due to the lack of strict laws. In the US, whether it's industries or construction, if they have more than 10 employees, they come under OSHA, and they must follow OSHA regulations; otherwise, they may face fines, jail, or termination.
I must admit that most of my friends working in construction in India don't have a record-keeping policy due to management not prioritizing accident or near-miss reports. Unfortunately, at this time, we can't do much because the top management does not support us.
Where is the ANNA of the OSH movement in India? Is this not corruption, and shouldn't the nation take action against the preventable loss of innocent workers' lives?
We can change this situation through teamwork. The main problem I have noticed in India is that most seniors (not all) are unwilling to share or guide juniors. Many of us have had similar experiences where managers do not share essential documents like checklists properly. However, there is a positive change happening now, for example, with OUR CITEHR.
Seniors, please watch over and guide us as we work towards improving the situation.
Thank you.
