Welcome to the Government & Public Sector Division. By joining this division, you are getting in on the ground floor of what we believe will be a very important effort to make government and public sector workplaces much safer than they are today. Currently, injury rates for government workers are much higher than the private sector. Our division feels that this should change, and we will be working towards that goal. I welcome your participation in this very important conversation.
