Every year, almost 2 million Americans are injured while they're  21  work every day, 240 are killed on the job. The  22   job is cutting down trees. Being a policeman is safer than many jobs, including driving a truck, collecting garbage and  23  airplanes. One of the safest jobs is being a librarian.

   The government inspects(检查) most factories and offices.  24  have to  25   fines(罚款) if their factories or offices are unsafe.

   Inspectors say employers  37  their backs on safety problems because they don't want to pay the bill for fixing them. They also say some workers don't want to complain about dangers because they may  38  their jobs.

   The government should force business to improve safety. There's no  39  for workers dying or  40  in an accident that could have been prevented.
