The Injuries, Illnesses, and Fatalities (IIF) program provides data on illnesses and injuries on the job and data on worker fatalities. Injuries, Illnesses, and Fatalities among Security GuardsSecurity guards face a set of hazards different from that of the average worker. Security guards are more likely to be fatally injured while working, especially by homicide, but are less likely to incur a nonfatal injury or illness than workers in general, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Further information on injuries, illnesses, and fatalities among security guards is available at: www.bls.gov/iif/oshwc/osh/os/osar0009.pdf. Hours-based fatality ratesThe Bureau of Labor Statistics is releasing improved workplace fatality rates from the Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries (CFOI). The new rates, based on hours-worked as opposed to employment, are considered to be more accurate in measuring the risk of dying from an injury on the job. The new rate methodology will be employed beginning with CFOI data for 2008 scheduled to be released in August 2009. Further information on the rates is available at: www.bls.gov/iif/oshnotice10.htm.

The nonfatal injury and illness incidence rate among private industry employers in 2007 (4.2 cases per 100 workers) was at its lowest level since 2002 when recordkeeping requirements were revised. The overall decline was driven primarily by lower rates among all goods-producing industry sectors. More » Current
