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.
ETA: Okay, if you're a crab fisherman or salvage diver maybe your job is more dangerous. But for almost every job I can think of driving to work is more dangerous than everything you do.
I think imminent natural disaster trumps that just a tad bit.
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.
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.
