EAST LANSING — A new report says 121 people died from on-the-job injuries in Michigan in one year, meaning workplaces remain about as deadly as they were one year earlier.
Michigan State University released results today of the latest Michigan Fatality Assessment and Control Evaluation. The deaths are for 2008, with 2009 figures still being tabulated.
The death count was 120 in 2007.
Study director Dr. Kenneth Rosenman says deaths are down since 1991's 171, but most deaths could and should have been prevented.
He says the deaths show the need for continuing education and possibly changes in regulations.
The study says the most dangerous industries in Michigan were agriculture, construction, mining, transportation and warehousing. http://bit.ly/9mmQfC
