Colorado Workplace Fatalities, 2007 (PDF)
A total of 119 fatal work injuries were recorded in Colorado in 20071 less than the previous year's count of 137, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor. (See chart A.) Regional Commissioner Stanley W. Suchman noted the most frequent type of workplace fatality in Colorado was highway crashes (36). Other events leading to on-the-job fatalities included workers being struck by a mobile equipment vehicle, being struck by an object or equipment, and homicides, with 11 fatalities each. Combined, these four types of events 2 accounted for 58 percent of all work-related fatalities in the State in 2007.
Chart A. Total workplace fatalities in Colorado, 1992-2007
Highway crashes (officially titled highway incidents) remained the most frequent type of fatal workplace event for both the State and the nation in 2007. In Colorado, fatal highway crashes decreased to 36 in 2007 from 42 in 2006. Highway crashes accounted for 30 percent of all job-related deaths in the State and 24 percent in the nation in 2007. (See table A.)
Workers being struck by an object or equipment resulted in 11 fatalities in the State in 2007, down from 13 in the previous year. This event accounted for 9 percent of on-the-job fatalities in both Colorado and the nation.
Workers being struck by a mobile equipment vehicle accounted for 11 fatalities in Colorado in 2007, the highest count since the fatality census began in 1992. Fatal work injuries from being struck by a vehicle represented 9 percent of job-related deaths in Colorado and 6 percent of the U.S. total.
Homicides accounted for 9 percent of on-the-job deaths in Colorado; nationally, they represented 11 percent of all workplace fatalities. The number of work-related homicides (11) in the State in 2007 was identical to the number recorded in 2006.
Other fatal workplace events in Colorado in 2007 included falls to a lower level (8) and exposure to caustic, noxious, or allergenic substances (8). (See table 1.)
Nationwide, a total of 5,488 fatal work injuries were reported in 2007, a decrease of 6 percent from the revised total of 5,840 fatal work injuries recorded in 2006. While these results are preliminary, this figure represents the lowest annual total since the Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries (CFOI) program was first conducted in 1992. (See table A.) Highway crashes in 2007 accounted for nearly one out of every four fatal work injuries in the nation and continued to lead all other events in the frequency of on-the-job fatalities. Still, the 2007 count of 1,311 fatal highway crashes was the lowest annual total since 1993. The 2007 total of 733 fatal falls to a lower level was the third highest since the fatality census began, but was slightly lower than the 738 incidents recorded in 2006. The number of workers (504) who were fatally injured from being struck by objects or equipment in 2007 was at the lowest level since the fatality census began and represented a 14-percent decline from the 2006 total. Two other events were also at series lows in 2007-fatal work injuries involving electrocutions (212) and fatalities resulting from fires and explosions (151).
Workplace homicides in the United States rose 13 percent to 610 in 2007 after recording a series low of 540 in 2006. Even after the increase, workplace homicides have declined 44 percent from a series high of 1,080 in 1994. Workplace homicides involving police officers and supervisors of retail sales workers saw substantial increases in 2007.
Selected characteristics of workplace fatalities in Colorado in 2007:
- Men accounted for 86 percent (102) of the work-related fatal injuries. Transportation incidents, which include highway, nonhighway, pedestrian, air, water, and rail fatalities, accounted for 48 percent of these deaths and contact with objects and equipment made up nearly 20 percent. Seventeen women were fatally injured on the job in 2007, over half (9) as a result of transportation incidents. (See table 2.)
- Seventy-two percent of those who died from a workplace injury were white, non-Hispanic (86) and 23 percent were Hispanic or Latino (27). Transportation incidents (45) were the most frequent type of fatal event for white, non-Hispanic workers. (See table 2.)
- Workers 25-54 years old-the prime working age group-made up 69 percent of the State's work-related fatalities in 2007 with 82 deaths. Twenty-four workers 55 years of age or older died on the job, accounting for 20 percent of the fatally injured. (See table 2.) Nationally, those 25-54 years old accounted for 63 percent of on-the-job fatalities, and those 55 and older, 27 percent.
- Eighty-nine percent of workers killed on-the-job in Colorado worked for wages and salaries and the remaining 11 percent were self-employed. Transportation incidents (55) accounted for the largest number of fatalities among wage and salary workers in 2007. (See table 2.)
- Two industry sectors made up 45 percent of the workplace fatalities in Colorado-construction (28) and transportation and warehousing (25). Transportation incidents were the most frequent type of fatal event for the construction industry accounting for over one-third of fatalities while falls accounted for one-fourth of on-the-job deaths. Within the transportation and warehousing sector, transportation incidents were also the leading cause of workplace fatalities, accounting for over three-fourths of all fatalities. (See table 3.)
- Workers in transportation and material moving occupations had the highest number of fatalities with 37. Motor vehicle operators accounted for 29 of the deaths in this group (heavy and tractor-trailer truck drivers made up 24 of these fatalities). Workers in construction and extraction occupations had the second highest number of fatalities, 28. Construction trade workers accounted for 20 of those fatally injured in this occupational group. Combined, workers in transportation and material moving and construction and extraction occupations accounted for 55 percent of the fatal work injuries in Colorado in 2007. (See table 4.)

TECHNICAL NOTES
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 Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment 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.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------1 The 2007 figures are considered preliminary. Final figures will be released in April 2009.
2 Fatal events are categorized into several major groupings including transportation incidents, assaults and violent acts, and falls, among others. These major groups are further broken down into more detailed groups. See the Occupational Injury & Illness Classification System (OIICS) Manual at www.bls.gov/iif/oshoiics.htm for detailed information on the categories of fatalities used in this census.
