Gavan Howe, M.A.	2009-01-14, 13:48	Harm Reduction Forum, there are more harms than those stated herein and I would call your attention to occupational harms, i.e. risk taking while on the job. As Sparrow (2008) stated 'bad things' are very much worth focusing on. In 2002, 2.1 million construction workers were killed by electrical contact in the US. Construction workers there represent just 7% of the total work force, yet comprise 44% of occupational electrocutions. Does the network have interest and time for other 'bad things'?
