The data are based on a random sample of reports for the Annual Survey of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses. The BLS estimates that in 1983, the private sector had a total of 3,100 job-related deaths, compared with 4,090 in 1982. A five-year downturn in the fatality incidence rate continued, dropping from 7.4 per 100,000 full-time workers in 1982 to 5.6 in 1983. For both years, the majority of deaths were due to highway vehicles, falls, heart attacks, or industrial vehicles or equipment. An analysis by industry covers agriculture, forestry, and fishing; mining (oil and gas extraction only); construction; manufacturing; transportation and public utilities; wholesale and retail trade; finance, insurance, and real estate; and services. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
