Yeah my point was more we probably don't really need more stringent industrial safety standards if we have gotten deaths due to industrial accidents down so low. The cost/benefit tradeoff isn't there anymore.
CSB videos (deliberately) aren't trying to show the full human cost of incidents. The US is full of communities that have been poisoned for decades from these sorts of things, and workers have a lot more to worry about than dying.

I love those USCSB videos!
The biggest thing we have done is managed to protect the general public, which IMO is what should be done.
