  Your comment doesn’t really address my point. I’m talking about people who died at work who were threatened with termination if they attempted to leave a dangerous work environment.

  In my state, as long as you don’t make any stops between home and work, you are covered by workers compensation.

    I’m glad to hear that. It’s at least something.

    Every time I hear about a fatal crash during rush hour I feel terrible for the person who died going to work.

  The part of your workday that you’re most likely to die during is your commute, especially if you drive, which is not covered by DoL or OSHA.

  FWIW this is because of DoL and OSHA making sure that once you get to work they have to keep you reasonably safe. This was not always the case in the past.

  I think imminent natural disaster trumps that just a tad bit.
