Workplace Fatalities in Virginia, 2003-2007 (PDF)

During the years 2003 to 2007, fatal work injuries in Virginia totaled 818, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor.  Please note that the 2007 results are preliminary; final results will be released in April 2009.  Sheila Watkins, the Bureau’s regional commissioner, noted that highway crashes were the leading cause of on-the-job fatalities over this time period in the Commonwealth, accounting for 171, or 21 percent, of the deaths.  (See chart A.)  Work-related deaths due to highway crashes (officially titled highway incidents) represented 24 percent of the U.S. total from 2003 to 2007.

Falls to a lower level (114) represented 14 percent of the State’s workplace fatality count from 2003 to 2007; nationwide, falls to a lower level made up 12 percent of the total for the same time period.  Homicides resulted in 91 fatalities and accounted for 11 percent of the total in Virginia; this event was responsible for 10 percent of workplace fatalities nationally.  The 81 work-related deaths due to being struck by objects or equipment in Virginia accounted for 10 percent of the Commonwealth’s total, equivalent to the event’s national share.

Other leading causes of fatal workplace injuries in Virginia for the five year period were contact with electric current (49), nonhighway incidents (49), being caught in or compressed by equipment or objects (46), and pedestrian incidents (44).  (See table 1.)  Fatalities from contact with electric current, nonhighway incidents, and being caught in or compressed by equipment or objects each accounted for 6 percent of the work-related deaths in the Commonwealth, while pedestrian incidents accounted for 5 percent.  Virginia’s percentages for these categories were similar to those of the nation.

The preliminary 2007 count of 141 fatal occupational injuries, down 15 percent from the 2006 level, was one of the lowest annual totals recorded in Virginia since the fatality census began in 1992.  (See chart B.)  The most frequent types of workplace fatalities in 2007 were highway crashes (35), falls to a lower level (24), and homicides (16); these three events accounted for 53 percent of the deaths in the Commonwealth.

Key characteristics of fatal work injuries from 2003 to 2007 in Virginia:

  • Men accounted for 749, or 92 percent, of the work-related fatalities in the Commonwealth. Transportation incidents, which include highway, nonhighway, pedestrian, air, water, and rail fatalities, accounted for two-fifths of these deaths. Thirty-eight percent of the 69 women fatally injured on the job died from transportation incidents.  (See table 2.) 
  • Seventy percent of those who died from a workplace injury in Virginia were white, non-Hispanic (569); 15 percent were black, non-Hispanic (122); 10 percent were Hispanic or Latino (81); and 5 percent were Asian (39).  Transportation incidents made up the most frequent event for white, non-Hispanics, black, non-Hispanics, and Asians, while the most frequent event for Hispanic or Latino workers was falls.  (See table 2.)
  • Workers 25-54 years old—the prime working age group—made up 511, or 62 percent, of the work-related fatalities in Virginia from 2003 to 2007.  (See table 2.)  At the national level, this group made up 64 percent of fatalities over these five years.
  • Eighty-three percent of workers killed on the job in the Commonwealth worked for wages and salaries, the rest were self-employed.  Transportation incidents was the most frequent workplace fatal injury for both wage and salary and self-employed workers.  (See table 2.)
  • Over half of Virginia’s 818 workplace fatalities during the five year period occurred in three industry sectors¾construction (204), transportation and warehousing (129), and government (95).  Falls was the most frequent event in construction; transportation incidents accounted for over four-fifths of the work-related deaths in the transportation and warehousing sector.  In government, transportation incidents and assaults and violent acts accounted for the majority of the fatalities.  (See table 3.)
  • Transportation and material moving occupations had the highest number of workplace fatalities at 202, followed by construction and extraction occupations with 182; combined, these two occupational groups accounted for 47 percent of all fatal work injuries in Virginia.  Transportation incidents accounted for the majority of workplace fatalities in the transportation and material moving occupations.  Falls was the most frequent fatality event in the construction and extraction occupations.  (See table 4.)

Additional Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries data are available on the BLS Internet site at www.bls.gov/iif/.  Data can be accessed in two ways, through Create Customized Tables, which allows quick access to particular items, or via the special request FTP service, which allows access to an extensive collection of flat text files.  For personal assistance or further information on the Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries program, as well as other Bureau programs, contact the Mid-Atlantic Information Office at 215-597-3282 from 8:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. and 1:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. ET.  Information on the Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries and other programs and surveys are available on our Web site at www.bls.gov/ro3/.

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, federal, and independent data sources to identify, verify, and describe fatal work injuries.  This assures counts are as complete and accurate as possible.

For technical information about the CFOI program, please go to the BLS Handbook of Methods on the BLS web site.  To get to that document, click on Workplace Injuries on the BLS home page, scroll down to IIF Documentation, and then click on “BLS Handbook of Methods.�  The technical information and definitions for the CFOI Program are in Chapter 9, Part 2 of the BLS Handbook of Methods.

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.

Acknowledgments

BLS thanks the Virginia Department of Labor and Industry 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 entities 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 Federal Railroad Administration; 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.
