I interpreted that sentence differently: managers are not the ones on the factory floor getting injured. By reporting injuries, they may be concerned for the safety of their career, and think by covering them up they'll avoid black marks on their record.

Potentially what he meant and probably a fairer interpretation. I run a (small) factory and my wife works as an engineer at the aforementioned Nissan plant so I tend to have a less forgiving attitude toward people who seem to disregard worker safety.
I remember when I toured the BAE submarine plant 10 years ago in Barrow in Furness being told that 1 death per month was considered standard and kind of ok in the early days of that plant - terrifying and thankfully not the case anymore.
