Each year, six thousand Americans lose their lives on the job. Tens of thousands more are seriously injured or exposed to deadly poisons and carcinogens in the workplace. Yet if one of those workers dies on the job due to a company's willful disregard for federal safety regulations, the maximum penalty his employer faces is just six months in prison. Are America's workplace safety laws tough enough? And are companies being held responsible for protecting the safety of their employees? On the fifth anniversary of its premiere broadcast, this joint investigation with the New York Times and CBC into workplace safety in one of America's most dangerous industries is based on reporting that was awarded the 2004 Pulitzer Prize.
