FOR FURTHER INFORMATION: FOR RELEASE: Cheryl Abbot, Regional Economist December 31, 2008 (214) 767-6970 http://www.bls.gov/ro6/ TEXAS WORKPLACE FATALITIES IN 2007 A total of 527 fatal work injuries were recorded in Texas during 2007, an increase of 38 from 2006, 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. Regional Commissioner Stanley W. Suchman noted that this was the highest number of work-related fatalities since 2001, but well below the series high of 572 reached in 2000. (See chart A.) Chart A. Total work-related fatalities in Texas by year, 1992-2007Note: Totals for 2007 are preliminary. The most frequent events leading to workplace fatalities in Texas in 2007 were highway crashes (132), falls to a lower level (72), homicides (70), and being struck by an object (47). (See chart B.) Combined, these four events(1) accounted for 61 percent of all work-related fatalities in the State. Highway crashes remained the most frequent type of fatal workplace event for both the State and the nation in 2007. In Texas, highway crashes have led all other fatal events since 1994. The 132 fatal injuries resulting from highway crashes in Texas accounted for 25 percent of the statewide total in 2007. Nationally, this fatal event has led all others since the program’s inception in 1992 and accounted for 24 percent of work-related deaths in 2007. (See tables A and B.) Occupational fatalities caused by falls to a lower level rose substantially in 2007 accounting for 72 fatalities, up from 54 in 2006. The 2007 fatality count nearly matched the series high of 73 registered in 2000. Falls to a lower level represented 14 percent of all workplace fatalities in Texas; this event accounted for 13 percent of the national total. Chart B. The four most frequent work-related fatal events in Texas, 1992-2007
Note: Totals for 2007 are preliminary. Work-related homicides in Texas accounted for 70 fatalities in 2007, an increase of 25 (or 56 percent) over the previous year. The 2007 level resembled those experienced earlier in the decade, but was 38 percent below the peak of 113 reached in 1993. Work-related homicides accounted for 13 percent of on-the-job deaths statewide and 11 percent nationally. Forty-seven fatalities in Texas resulted from workers being struck by an object in 2007, the lowest level since 2003 (44). These types of fatal work injuries accounted for 9 percent of on-the-job fatalities in both the State and the nation. Other fatal workplace events in Texas in 2007 included contact with electric current (39), being struck by a vehicle or mobile equipment (32), and being caught in or compressed by equipment or objects (31). (See table 1.)
