Fewer people are dying on the job in Missouri.
The Department of Labor announced that there were 107 fatal work injuries in 2010 in Missouri, down 25 percent from 2009. Sixty of the victims died after being struck by vehicles. And all but seven of the victims were men.
Department director Larry Rebman says his staff has been working to promote safety programs. He says the drop in fatalities shows that workplaces are embracing safety and doing more to protect workers.
