Which factor has NOT been reduced much over time, despite improvements in occupational safety?

  1. Rate of fatal injuries

  2. Cost of safety equipment

  3. Rate of nonfatal injuries

  4. Incidence of workplace illnesses

The correct answer is: Rate of nonfatal injuries

Despite improvements in occupational safety, the rate of nonfatal injuries has not been significantly reduced over time. This may be due to certain types of injuries that are harder to prevent, such as strains and sprains from repetitive motion. The other options, including the rate of fatal injuries, cost of safety equipment, and incidence of workplace illnesses, have all seen significant improvements over time due to advancements in technology, regulations, and safety measures.
