1 Fatal injury rates are per 100,000 full-time equivalent workers (FTEs). Complete
national rates can be found at www.bls.gov/iif/oshcfoi1.htm#rates. Complete state
rates can be found at www.bls.gov/iif/oshstate.htm. National and state rates are
calculated using different methodology and cannot be directly compared. Please see
www.bls.gov/iif/oshfaq1.htm#q17 for more information on how rates are
calculated and caveats for comparison. N/A means a rate was not published
for this group.
2 The Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries (CFOI) has published data on fatal
occupational injuries for the United States since 1992. During this time, the
classification systems and definitions of many data elements have changed. Please
see the CFOI Definitions page (www.bls.gov/iif/oshcfdef.htm) for a more
detailed description of each data element and their definitions.
3 CFOI has used several versions of the North American Industry Classification
System (NAICS) since 2003 to define industry. For more information on the version
of NAICS used in this year, see our definitions page
at www.bls.gov/iif/oshcfdef.htm.
4 Includes all fatal occupational injuries meeting this ownership criterion
across all specified years, regardless of industry classification system.
5 Includes fatal injuries at all establishments categorized as Mining, quarrying,
and oil and gas extraction (Sector 21) in the North American Industry Classification
System, including establishments not governed by the Mine Safety and Health
Administration (MSHA) rules and reporting, such as those in Oil and Gas Extraction.
6 Includes fatal injuries to workers employed by governmental organizations
regardless of industry. Includes all fatal occupational injuries meeting this
ownership criterion across all specified years, regardless of
industry classification system.
Note: Data for all years are final. Totals for major categories may
include subcategories not shown separately. CFOI fatal injury counts exclude
illness-related deaths unless precipitated by an injury event.
