FOR FURTHER INFORMATION: FOR RELEASE: Cheryl Abbot Tuesday, Regional Economist September 11, 2007 (214) 767-6970 http://www.bls.gov/ro6/ TEXAS WORKPLACE FATALITIES IN 2006 A total of 486 fatal work injuries were recorded in Texas during 2006, down slightly from the 495 that occurred in the previous year, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor. Regional Commissioner Stanley W. Suchman noted that this was well below the State high of 572 reached in 2000. (See chart A.) Nationally, fatal job injuries also dipped slightly in 2006, to a level of 5,703 as 24 states reported fewer deaths. Chart A. Total work-related fatalities in Texas by year, 1992-2006The most frequent events leading to workplace fatalities in Texas in 2006 were highway crashes (127), falls to a lower level (54), being struck by an object (51), and homicides (45). (See chart B.) Combined, these four events accounted for 57 percent of all work-related fatalities in the State. These data are from the Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries (CFOI) which was first conducted in 1992. Chart B. The four most frequent work-related fatal events in Texas, 1992-2006
Highway crashes remained the most frequent type of fatal workplace event for both the State and the nation in 2006. In Texas, highway crashes have led all other fatal events since 1994. Nationally, this event has led all others since the program’s inception in 1992. The 127 fatal injuries resulting from highway incidents in Texas accounted for 26 percent of the statewide total in 2006. In the U.S., highway incidents accounted for 23 percent of work-related deaths. (See tables A and B.) Occupational fatalities caused by falls to a lower level rose by four cases in 2006, the only event to register an increase among the top four categories in Texas. The 54 work-related deaths represented 11 percent of all workplace fatalities in Texas; this event accounted for 13 percent of the national total. Fifty-one fatalities in Texas resulted from workers being struck by an object in 2006, about the same as in the previous year. These types of fatal work injuries accounted for 10 percent of on-the-job fatalities in both the State and the nation. Homicides accounted for 9 percent of on-the-job deaths at the statewide level as well as for the nation. The number of work-related homicides (45) in the State in 2006, was little changed over the year. In fact, the number of homicides has remained under 50 in each of the last three years, well below the peak level of 113 reached in 1993 when homicides accounted for 21 percent of all fatal work injuries in Texas. Nationwide, the number of workplace homicides fell to 516 in 2006, its lowest level since the fatality census was first conducted. Some of the other fatal events in the State in 2006 recorded notable increases or series highs. Fatal work injuries due to pedestrian incidents (42) and being caught in or compressed by equipment and objects (28) both registered their highest levels since these series began in 1992. The 18 fatalities in Texas from non-highway transportation fatalities (except rail, air, and water) in 2006 were the highest on record since 1999. (See table 1.) In contrast, fatalities resulting from fires and explosions, as well as electrocutions, fell over the year – from 31 in 2005 to 23 in 2006. Work- related fatal injuries among the less frequent events also fell in 2006, as fatalities caused by exposure to caustic, noxious, or allergic substances (13), self inflicted injuries (13) and aircraft incidents (6) declined from 2005 levels.

(2) The BLS news release issued August 10, 2006, reported a total of 5,702 fatal work injuries for calendar year 2005. Since then, an additional 32 job-related fatalities were identified, bringing the total job-related fatality count for 2005 to 5,734. NOTE: Totals for 2006 are preliminary. Nationwide, a total of 5,703 fatal work injuries were reported in 2006, down slightly from the revised total of 5,734 fatalities reported for 2005. The 2006 U.S. total was the third lowest level recorded by the fatality census since its inception in 1992. (See table B.) Although fatal highway incidents were down from a year ago, these events continued to be the leading cause of on-the- job fatalities nationally. Deaths from such incidents totaled 1,329 in 2006, representing almost one out of every four fatal work injuries. Fatalities caused by falls to a lower level increased by 10 percent to a total of 728, the second highest level for this category. On-the-job deaths resulting from being struck by an object totaled 583 in 2006, down from a record high of 607 in 2005. The number of workplace homicides recorded in the United States in 2006, 516, dropped 9 percent from the previous year’s total and reached its lowest annual total yet recorded by the fatality census. Overall, workplace homicides have decreased more than 50 percent from the high of 1,080 recorded in 1994 (excluding the fatalities resulting from the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001). Key characteristics of fatal work injuries in Texas: --- Men accounted for 94 percent (457) of the work-related fatalities in Texas. Transportation incidents, which include highway, nonhighway, pedestrian, air, water, and rail fatalities, accounted for 41 percent of these deaths and contact with objects and equipment made up 19 percent. Twenty-nine women were fatally injured on-the-job, primarily as a result of assaults and violent acts and transportation incidents. Combined, these two events accounted for 83 percent of all worker fatalities among females. (See table 2.) --- In Texas, 53 percent of those who died from a workplace injury were non-Hispanic whites; 35 percent were Hispanics or Latinos; 8 percent were non-Hispanic blacks; and 4 percent were Asians. The most frequent cause of death among each of these worker groups, except Asians, was transportation incidents. For Asians, the primary cause of death was assaults and violent acts which accounted for 12 of the 18 total fatalities. --- Workers 25-54 years old – the prime working age group – made up slightly more than two-thirds (332) of the State’s on-the-job fatalities in 2006. --- Eighty percent of workers killed on-the-job in Texas worked for wages and salaries and the remaining 20 percent were self-employed. --- Two industry sectors made up 41 percent of the workplace fatalities in the State – construction, with 131 deaths, and transportation and warehousing, with 66. Transportation incidents and falls each accounted for a little more than one- fourth of the construction industry fatalities. Exposure to harmful substances or environments accounted for slightly more than one-fifth of work-related deaths in construction. In the transportation and warehousing industry, transportation incidents were the most prevalent cause of workplace deaths, accounting for more than two-thirds of all fatal injuries. (See table 3.) --- Construction and extraction jobs and transportation and material moving jobs led all other occupational groups with 140 and 123 worker fatalities, respectively. Combined, these two occupational groups accounted for 54 percent of all fatal work injuries in Texas. Among construction and extraction workers, transportation incidents (40), falls (34), exposure to harmful substances or environments (29), and contact with objects and equipment (27) were the most frequent events leading to on-the-job fatalities. Within transportation and material moving occupations, transportation incidents (86) accounted for 70 percent of all fatal injuries; contact with objects and equipment (20) accounted for 16 percent. (See table 4.) Additional Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries data are available on the BLS Internet site at http://www.bls.gov/iif/oshcfoi1.htm. Data can be accessed in a number of ways. Selected current and historical information is available in PDF format. Detailed data may be accessed through the online query system located at http://data.bls.gov/PDQ/outside.jsp?survey=fi or via an extensive collection of flat text files.

TECHNICAL NOTE Background of the program The Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries, part of the BLS occupational safety and health statistics program, compiles a count of all fatal work injuries occurring in the U.S. in each calendar year. The program uses diverse State and Federal data sources to identify, verify, and describe fatal work injuries. Information about each workplace fatality (industry, occupation, and other worker characteristics; equipment being used; and circumstances of the event) is obtained by cross-referencing source documents, such as death certificates, workers’ compensation records, news accounts, and reports to Federal and State agencies. This method assures counts are as complete and accurate as possible. Definitions For a fatality to be included in the census, the decedent must have been employed (that is working for pay, compensation, or profit) at the time of the event, engaged in a legal work activity, or present at the site of the incident as a requirement of his or her job. Fatalities to volunteer and unpaid family workers who perform the same duties and functions as paid workers are also included in the counts. These criteria are generally broader than those used by Federal and State agencies administering specific laws and regulations. (Fatalities that occur during a person’s normal commute to or from work are excluded from the census counts.) Data presented in this release include deaths occurring in 2006 that resulted from traumatic occupational injuries. An injury is defined as any wound or damage to the body resulting from acute exposure to energy, such as heat, electricity, or impact from a crash or fall, or from the absence of such essentials as heat or oxygen caused by a specific event or incident within a single workday or shift. Included are open wounds, intracranial and internal injuries, heatstroke, hypothermia, asphyxiation, acute poisonings resulting from short-term exposures limited to the worker’s shift, suicides and homicides, and work injuries listed as underlying or contributory causes of death. Information on work-related fatal illnesses is not reported in the BLS census and is excluded from the attached tables because the latency period of many occupational illnesses and the difficulty of linking illnesses to work exposures make identification of a universe problematic. Measurement techniques and limitations Data for the Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries are compiled from various Federal, State, and local administrative sources – including death certificates, workers’ compensation reports and claims, reports to various regulatory agencies, medical examiner reports, and police reports – as well as news and other non-governmental reports. Diverse sources are used because studies have shown that no single source captures all job-related fatalities. Source documents are matched so that each fatality is counted only once. To ensure that a fatality occurred while the decedent was at work, information is verified from two or more independent source documents or from a source document and a follow-up questionnaire. Approximately 30 data elements are collected, coded, and tabulated, including information about the worker, the fatal incident, and the machinery or equipment involved. Federal/State agency coverage The Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries includes data for all fatal work injuries, whether the decedent was working in a job covered by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) or other Federal or State agencies or was outside the scope of regulatory coverage. Thus, any comparison between the BLS fatality census counts and those released by other agencies should take into account the different coverage requirements and definitions being used by each agency. Several Federal and State agencies have jurisdiction over workplace safety and health. OSHA and affiliated agencies in States with approved safety programs cover the largest portion of the nation’s workers. However, injuries and illnesses occurring in certain industries or activities, such as coal, metal, and nonmetal mining and highway, water, rail, and air transportation, are excluded from OSHA coverage because they are covered by other Federal agencies, such as the Mine Safety and Health Administration and various agencies within the Department of Transportation. Fatalities occurring among several other groups of workers are generally not covered by any Federal or State agencies. These groups include self- employed and unpaid family workers, which accounted for about 18 percent of the fatalities; laborers on small farms, accounting for about 1 percent of the fatalities; and State and local government employees in States without OSHA- approved safety programs, which accounted for about 4 percent. (Approximately one-half of the States have approved OSHA safety programs, which cover State and local government employees.) Acknowledgments BLS thanks the Texas Department of Insurance’s Division of Workers Health and Safety for their efforts in collecting accurate, comprehensive, and useful data on fatal work injuries. BLS also appreciates the efforts of all Federal, State, local, and private sector agencies that submitted source documents used to identify fatal work injuries. Among these agencies are the Occupational Safety and Health Administration; the National Transportation Safety Board; the U.S. Coast Guard; the Mine Safety and Health Administration; the Employment Standards Administration (Federal Employees’ Compensation and Longshore and Harbor Workers’ divisions); the Department of Energy; State vital statistics registrars, coroners, and medical examiners; State departments of health, labor and industries, and workers’ compensation agencies; State and local police departments; and State farm bureaus. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Footnote 1: Fatal events are categorized into several major groupings including transportation incidents, assaults and violent acts, and falls. These major groups are further broken down into more detailed groups. For example, transportation incidents include highway incidents, commonly referred to as crashes, and aircraft incidents; assaults and violent acts include homicides and suicides; and falls include falls to a lower level (as from a roof or ladder) and falls on the same level. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DETAILED TABLES 1-4 TABLE 1.
