The documentary focuses on people who have died at work due to unsafe conditions and disregard of regulations by the companies. Lawyer E. Michael McCann notes that OSHA is supposed to investigate workspaces to ensure safe conditions, but many of these places had rarely or never had an OSHA investigation (and when they did, it got announced in advance when OSHA was coming, so the company would change things to give the illusion of safety and compliance).
