Workplace Deaths In Canada

In 2005, the number of workplace fatalities totalled 1,097, an average of five every working day, said Andrew Sharpe, executive director of the CSLS.
"The numbers and rates of workplace fatalities are troubling," he said. "Other countries are making progress in this area but we're not."
In fact, only four other countries have higher rates of workplace fatalities than Canada -- South Korea, Mexico, Portugal and Turkey.
