A. Risks of deaths from occupational disease are outpaced only by the risk of accidental deaths.

Explanation:

This is the statement that expresses false information. Although accidental deaths do represent a significant problem in the workplace, they are outpaced by the risks of deaths from occupational disease. Occupational diseases are chronic ailments that occur because of the type of occupation we have, and they are a significant problem in the developed world.
