What's going on in Texas is what goes on there every day of the week..unsafe working conditions,no safety regulation and cheap ,unskilled help.

Its pretty much the most unsafe state in the union for workers..typical red state.

It would do you some good to have your facts straight before you spout off at the mouth and make yourself look quite ignorant.



Nonfatal Occupational Injury and Illness Data, and Information

In case your brain can't process that inconvenient truth, I'll spell it out for you.

Texas rates of occupational injuries/illnesses is LOWER THAN THE NATIONAL RATE and HAS BEEN FOR AT LEAST TEN YEARS.

You live in Texas. So do I.

Do you seriously think Texas correctly reports their accidents? The fact that they don't is about as much of a secret as Bronco Burger's secret sauce.

I mean cripes almighty, you LIVE here and you believe that chart.

Right. I live here. My father owns a consulting firm which works with industrial accidents, workers' comp, etc cases. I worked with him in that business for several years. I have worked in HR for fifteen years, and with a staffing company which staffed workers for industrial companies - I worked there for seven years. The workers were actually on OUR payroll even though they worked in a variety of industrial positions at a wide variety of companies.

I believe Texas companies report accidents as accurately as any other state. If you believe otherwise, support your accusation with some facts.

Some obvious crap posts from some obvious crap posters. Unless I should believe a biased poster over a data chart. So far I'll go with the chart.
