Work related deaths in China drop

China has seen a recent drop in the death rate in the work place. The numbers have dropped to less than 100,000. This is likely due to an increased emphasis on safety and accident prevention by the government. China has a work force of over 800 million people and the death rates have dropped to 11.4 per 100,000. One of the major reasons for the drop is the fact that China has seen major improvements on safety in coal mines, which are the deadliest in the world.
