Because if you invert it, it's "the average employee suffers some injury every 21 years. That injury might be a papercut or a twisted ankle or a missing arm.

OSHA tracks this and is a much more reliable source than a random article.

It actually highlights probably the major problem. The article you linked specifies that a _single_ incident, accident or complaint can result in _multiple_ violations linked to it.

9 accidents, 4 incidents, 7 complaints. For 20 cases, 48 violations were issued. All in California, which may or may not have a subjective impact on how these cases are handled.

I tend to agree that this stuff looks like small potatoes and they're getting extra scrutiny based on what I saw back when I worked at a (non-Tesla) factory.
