What is a Workers’ Life Worth?
Presented in Partnership with the Sudbury Local Advisory Committee
It’s easy to place a dollar value on work, but how do we calculate the value of the life of a worker?
Health and Safety regulations are weak and poorly enforced. Fines are low, compensation is limited.
We don’t even know what counts as an occupational death.
