Disability Facts

The National Safety Council reports "Each year, more than 5,000 workers lose their lives and nearly four million suffer disabling injuries on the job in America." *

*The National Safety Council, Press Release, National Safety Council Honors Workers on Workers Memorial Day, April 24, 2003

The National Safety Council reports "Every 1.5 seconds someone in the U.S is disabled in an injury." *

The National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research states that "Computer technology and the Internet have a tremendous potential to broaden the lives and increase the independence of people with disabilities. These new technologies hold great promise, but as this report makes abundantly clear, the computer revolution has left the vast majority of people with disabilities behind. Only one-quarter of people with disabilities own computers, and only one-tenth ever make use of the Internet." *
