21000 deaths over an 8 year period is 50 deaths a week or 8 deaths per working day. It’s likely that H&S measures may not be as ‘perfect’ as they are in the UK, but I really question the veracity of such figures. If it was indeed true that so many workers were being killed at work over a sustained 8 year period, there would have been far more ‘leakage’ of information to the western media. I believe these figures are completely made up to excite the sort of journalist who just reprints press releases rather than properly verifying such claims.
