I'm reading here that at least 2 LLNS employee deaths (that we know of) may have been prevented with appropriate management employee engagement. My question is, how do these loss of life tragedy stats differ from other USA employers if they do at all? Are LLNS employment related death stats consistent with non-government funded employers?

Here are some limited LLNS stats from this "LLNL True Story" Blog:
In 2009, a NIF employee was placed into EBA status then dies by an onsite government vehicle that he had been operating. The DOE/NNSA Accident Report fails to mention this employees new EBA status or the plausible relevance of the EBA status and the subsequent death of this NIF employee. Instead, the report calls it a "routine transfer to another position". The report also states, "This report neither determines nor implies liability". In 2012, a NIF employee commits suicide after being informed he was in the process of being fired. In 2013, a former NIF employee placed into EBA status wanted to report to a non-NIF manager, but that request was denied by his assigned NIF manager who went on to say, "I'm going to be your manager until the end." NIF doesn't appear to have been a compassionate or caring place for employees to work these many years ago. Has NIF management and NIF employee interactions improved in 2022, or do they have the same shameful employee treatment issues to this day?
Was this alleged 2007 forward LLNS management callousness toward LLNS employees any less so under UC/LLNL management prior to the contract change?
I haven’t read about a LLNS management callous treatment of LLNS employees or LLNS employee suicides on Glassdoor? So much for that employer reference.
The thoughtless display toward LLNS employees started with the “gray march” layoff of 2008, that allowed for more unneeded Bechtel management imports, then surgical acts of callousness continued from 2008 forward as mentioned. Not a track record to be proud of, but rather one to hide.
