Why is it that, despite the labor department increasing its enforcement and consultation efforts within the past few years, workplace deaths in Indiana still increased in 2008? Their goal is obviously to lower the number of deaths, injuries, and occupational illnesses that occur on the job in Indiana. The good news is that IOSHA (Indiana Occupational Safety and Health Administration) conducted 70% more inspections in 2008 than it did in the previous year. The Indiana Department of Labor reported 132 fatalities as a result of work-related injuries in 2008. Agricultural accidents were the leading cause of Hoosier workplace fatalities, with construction and manufacturing accidents not far behind.
