PrepTest 55, Section 2, Question 7
In 1955, legislation in a certain country gave the government increased control over industrial workplace safety conditions. Among the high-risk industries in that country, the likelihood that a worker will suffer a serious injury has decreased since 1955. The legislation, therefore, has increased overall worker safety within high-risk industries.

The annual number of work-related injuries has increased since the legislation took effect.
