a Based on the 1992 Bureau of
Labor Statistics, Occupational Injury and
Illness Classification Manual.
b Numbers may not add to
totals 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
ship/boat, and sinking/capsized water vehicles involved in
transportation. Does not include
fishing boats.
g Includes collisions between railway vehicles, railway
vehicle and other vehicle, railway vehicle and other object, and
derailment.
h Data do not include
fatalities from the terrorist attacks of September 11 which totaled
2,886.
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.
