Murder is the third-leading cause of on-the-job fatalities
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Murder was the leading cause of workplace death in five states and the District of Columbia during the 1980s, according to the first federal study to pinpoint workplace fatalities by state.
Of the 7,603 Americans slain on the job in the last decade, 985 workers were murdered in Alabama, Connecticut, Maryland, Michigan, South Carolina and Washington, D.C.
New York doesn't tabulate on-the-jobicide, but the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health estimated its toll at 867. If accurate, that would make New York the capital of workplace murder.
The institute first warned about workplace homicide last month, when an early analysis of this study showed murder to be the biggest killer of working women. The full study was released Monday.
Nationwide, 62,289 civilians died on the job from 1980 through 1989 about 17 workers a day.
Overall, murder was the third-leading killer of civilians,following motor ing vehicle crashes and machine injuries.
vehicle crashes and machine injuries.
Texas, California and Florida had the highest number of workplace fatalities.
A better measure of risk is the rate of fatalities per 100,000 workers. Using that, the workers most at risk were in Alaska, with 34.8 deaths per 100,000 workers, followed by Wyoming, 29, and Montana, 20.9.
The safest workers were in Connecticut, with a fatality rate of 1.8; Massachusetts, 2.3; and New York, 2.6 — even though Connecticut and New York had 50 and 867 workplace murders respectively.
Water-related accidents were the top killer of Alaskan workers, and air transportation accidents led in Hawaii and Nevada. Car crashes were the biggest killers in the remaining states.
Construction and transportation and utility workers accounted for the most fatalities, 18 percent each.
The riskiest occupation was mining. Almost 32 of every 100,000 workers in the mining industry died.
Most likely to be murdered at work were taxi drivers, police officers and retail workers. At highest risk were people working with money or valuables, or working alone and at night, said Lynn Jenkins, author of the study.
She said most of the homicides probably occurred during robberies but had no numbers. The study was compiled from death certificates, which list cause of death, not its circumstances.
The good news: workplace fatalities decreased, from 7,405 in 1980 to 5,714 in 1989. So did the fatality rate, from 8.9 deaths per 100,000 workers in 1980 to 5.6 in 1989.
Even workplace homicides declined 24 percent, from 914 murders in 1980 to 694 in 1989.
"As our economy shifts to a more retail- and service-oriented economy, the rates may continue to decline." Jenkins said. "These industries have relatively low rates of occupational fatality compared to heavy industry."
Surgeon General crusades for sex education
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Comprehensive health education from kindergarten through 12th grade is crucial to reducing the numbers of children born out of wedlock, Surgeon General JoyceyL Elders said yesterday.
Schools teach drivers education, but when we come to health education, which includes sexuality education, we refuse to teach them that." Elders said on ABC's "This Week with David Brinkley."
issues including drugs, alcohol, sex and violence. "It's not going in there and giving them a plumbing lesson. I feel that's a waste of time."
She said only 5 percent of public schools now have comprehensive programs.
"A major cause of children dying is really related to many of the social problems impacting their health, so I really feel we need to have a comprehensive health education program in our schools from kindergarten through 12th grade. This is the equalizer," she said.
Elders, who as the former top health official in Arkansas was outspoken on the need to provide condoms to sexually active teenagers, said that contraceptives should be made available, but "if you don't have the education I could go out and throw condoms up in the air and let them rain."
Elders said health education must include the entire spectrum of social
Charles Murray of the American Enterprise Institute, appearing on the same show, blamed the welfare system for the sharp rise in single mothers.
"You lift the economic burden, social stigma goes down," he said.
The Clinton administration has
promised welfare reform, and the New York Times reported yesterday that one plan being considered is to give corporations up to $5,000 for every welfare recipient they hire.
Donna Shalala, secretary of health and human services, said no options on welfare reform had been presented to President Clinton.
During a hospital visit to promote the president's health care plan, she said that a working group has discussed giving money to corporations, but did not know whether such a proposal would go to Clinton.
If that happens, Murray said,
"Everything that you are looking at
now in terms of our reaction to crime
and our reaction to drugs and the rest
of it will be many times greater, and
that looks to me very much like a centralized, authoritarian state that bears
very little resemblance to what Jefferson or Madison had in mind."
