More than 100,000 Chinese died in workplace accidents last year, including on the roads and railways, but the figure was down one-tenth on 2006, a senior official said on Friday.
Li Yizhong, head of the State Administration of Work Safety, said 101,480 people died but that government education and publicity campaigns were paying off.
"The national production safety situation continues to steadily improve," he told a national meeting, carried live on central government Web site http://www.gov.cn
