The oweners of capital in the United States have successfully transferred most of the costs of industrial casualties onto the working class and the public at large. This has been accomplished by the creation of the privately owened workers' compensation insurance system and the corporate-dominated safety establishment. This "compensation-safety establishment" has been able to take over most of the federal apparatus created by the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970. Nevertheless, workers and unions and their allies have begun to challenge the establishment's hegemony over job health and safety policy for the first time in seventy years.
美国的资本所有者已成功地将大部分工业伤亡成本转嫁给了工人阶级和广大公众。这是通过创建私人拥有的工人补偿保险制度以及企业主导的安全机构来实现的。这个“补偿 - 安全机构”已经能够接管1970年《职业安全与健康法》设立的大部分联邦机构。然而，工人、工会及其盟友七十年来首次开始挑战该机构在职业健康和安全政策方面的主导地位。
