Occupational and Environmental Health: Recognizing and Preventing Disease and Injury - Multiple Choice Questions - Learn & Prevent

Over the years, workplace safety regulations and awareness have significantly improved, resulting in a decrease in fatal injuries in the U.S. workforce. Statistics from the Bureau of Labor Statistics show that occupational fatalities have consistently decreased since 1992. Therefore, option B, decreased markedly, is the correct answer.

Option A, increased significantly, is incorrect because, as mentioned earlier, the trend has been a decrease in fatal injuries, not an increase. Option C, remained consistent, is also incorrect because the data clearly shows a decline in fatal injuries. Option D, there is no available data, is incorrect as well because the Bureau of Labor Statistics does have data on occupational fatalities.
