According to information posted at the AFL-CIO website there were 4.2 million work injuries in 2005 and also 5072 deaths from work injuries. They have designated April 28th as a memorial day for those injured and killed on the job. The link below will take you to the AFL-CIO website with its references to this day. Also at the site there is quite a bit of other information. This of course is a pro-labor website but I've always been concerned that few groups or organizations are out there trying to protect workers, especially injured workers.
