The United States ranks far behind countries such as Sweden and Canada when it comes to workplace safety. In all three countries, joint labor-management committees that oversee workplace safety conditions have been very successful in reducing occupational injuries. In the United States, such committees are found only in the few companies that have voluntarily established them. However, in Sweden and several Canadian provinces, joint safety committees are required by law and exist in all medium-sized and large workplaces.

Summary
The US ranks far behind Sweden and Canada in workplace safety. In all three countries, joint labor-management committees have been very successful in reducing workplace injuries. In the US, these communities are only found in the companies that have voluntarily established them, whereas, in Sweden and several Canadian provinces, they are required by law and exist in all medium and large-sized workplaces.

Strongly Supported Conclusions
Joint labor-management committees play a role in reducing occupational industries.

A
The establishment of joint safety committees in all medium-sized and large workplaces in the United States would result in a reduction of occupational injuries.
The stimulus says that these committees are successful in reducing occupational injuries. We also know that countries where they are mandatory (Sweden and Canada), have much higher workplace safety.
B
A joint safety committee that is required by law is more effective at reducing occupational injuries than is a joint safety committee that is voluntarily established.
There is no information about the efficacy of joint safety committees established by law vs those voluntarily established. This answer choice requires close reading to eliminate!
C
Workplace safety in Sweden and Canada was superior to that in the United States even prior to the passage of laws requiring joint safety committees in all medium-sized and large workplaces.
There is no information about workplace safety prior to the passage of any laws.
D
Joint safety committees had been voluntarily established in most medium-sized and large workplaces in Sweden and several Canadian provinces prior to the passage of laws requiring such committees.
There is no information about Sweden or Canada before the passage of mandatory joint safety committee laws.
E
The United States would surpass Sweden and Canada in workplace safety if joint safety committees were required in all medium-sized and large workplaces in the United States.
There is no support for the idea that the US would surpass Sweden and Canada in workplace safety. This comparative statement requires a bunch of assumptions to make it work.
