Is anyone measuring the effect of operator training on lost workdays or fatalities in their industry, company, or nation?

In the USA, OSHA made new rules for operator training about 6 years ago. They did this to reduce about 10,000 injuries and 11 fatalities on a yearly basis. Yet NO ONE, not even OSHA, has published any numbers showing that the new rule has had any or no influence on injury reduction in the USA. Does anyone know differently? Do you have any sound empirical data to conclude that your operators are actually benefitting with fewer injuries, over time, from your instruction or from your related government regulations?
