I wonder whether and how they lobby on changes to workplace safety regulation?

We have beaten back plenty of good regulation and good law over the past thirty-three years or so by means of personal anecdotes-- "This was an inconvenient regulation and no way would I have been unsafe! I'm a PRO!"-- and conjectural anecdotes-- "Well, hey, if this instance occurred that regulation/law would have perverse/undesirable consequences!" So I don't reckon much on the "inadequate anecdotes" thing.

And I am a veteran of "*sneer* Your statistics just aren't moving" and "*sneer* There, there, that's just anecdotal."

Of course we need worldwide efforts to improve working environments by requiring firms to behave as if their employees were precious resources, if not as if their employees were fellow-humans. But that's no reason not to work on improving the behaviour of industry bellwethers.

Grrrrrrrrrrr.
