Bureau of Labor Statistics Work-related injuries ab: According to the first nationwide Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries, compiled by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, slightly more than 6,000 workers lost their lives due to injuries on the job in 1992. The census found that men, the elderly, farm and transportation workers, and workers in agriculture, mining, and construction appear to have the highest risk of workplace fatalities. In addition, highway vehicle accidents were the leading fatal event for male workers, while on-the-job homicides led among females. The average age of fatally injured workers was 42 years, according to the census, and whites accounted for a majority of workers fatally injured. The self-employed and family members working in family businesses made up 20 percent of workplace fatalities, although they account for just 9 percent of the work force. Data collection methods and other census findings are discussed. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
