According to the National Safety Council, ten of eleven deaths occur due to ___ accidents.

• A. Jobsite
• B. Household
• C. Transportation
• D. Off-the-job

Answer: (D)

The main idea here is recognizing where the majority of fatal accidents happen according to NSC data. The National Safety Council reports that about ten of eleven accidental deaths occur off the job, meaning they happen outside the workplace during everyday life activities—driving, home incidents, leisure, and similar events. So the best answer is off-the-job because it captures the broad range of fatalities that occur away from work, not just at the job site. While on-the-job or jobsite incidents are important, they represent a smaller portion of total accidental deaths. Transportation incidents can fall under off-the-job, but the statistic is about off-the-job accidents as a whole, not a single subcategory.
