because transportation categories may include subcategories not shown
separately.
c Includes collisions between vehicles/mobile equipment moving
in the same or opposite directions, such as in an intersection; between
moving and standing vehicles/mobile equipment at the side of a roadway; or a
vehicle striking a stationary object.
Also includes noncollisions, e.g., jack-knifed or overturned
vehicle/mobile equipment-no collision; ran off highway-no collision; struck
by shifting load; sudden start or stop; not elsewhere classified.
d Refers to farms and industrial premises. Includes collisions between vehicles/mobile
equipment; vehicles/mobile equipment striking a stationary object. Also
includes noncollisions such as a fall from a moving vehicle/mobile equipment,
fall from and struck by vehicle/mobile equipment, overturned vehicle/mobile
equipment, and loss of control of vehicle/mobile equipment.
e Includes worker struck by vehicle/mobile equipment in
roadway, on side of road, in a parking lot, or nonroad area.
f Includes collisions, explosions, fires, fall from or on

NOTES
Percentages
may not add to totals due to rounding.
The
above categories do not define the types of jobs people had, nor the
industries in which they worked. The categories define the ways in which they
died. For example, a representative traveling for business reasons who is
killed in a rail accident would be listed under rail.
