Not sure where you got that $46 billion figure -- probably from a corporate think tank. Those figures are always exagerated and always wrong.
You may also be interested in these figures, quoted earlier in a Sun editorial: "Professor J. Paul Leigh, a leading health economist at the University of California, Davis, conservatively estimates that workplace injuries and illnesses tallied $163.3 billion in costs in 2005. (In comparison, cancer was estimated to cost $210 billion.) But only 34 percent of the total cost of injuries is picked up by workers' compensation insurance."
The fact is that OSHA standards and enforcement save lives, just as traffic laws and enforcement prevent accidents and save lives. And they save money. Sounds like a win-win prospect.
