FOR FURTHER INFORMATION: FOR RELEASE: Cheryl Abbot, Regional Economist December 18, 2008 (214) 767-6970 http://www.bls.gov/ro6/ LOUISIANA WORKPLACE FATALITIES IN 2007 A total of 134 fatal work injuries were recorded in Louisiana during 2007, up from 118 in 2006, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor. Please note the 2007 figures are preliminary; final results will be released in April 2009. Regional Commissioner Stanley W. Suchman noted that Louisiana was 1 of 20 states to experience a higher number of fatal work injuries compared to the previous year. The number of on-the-job fatalities in the State has ranged from a high of 187 in 1994 to a low of 95 in 2003. (See chart A.) Chart A. Total work-related fatalities in Louisiana by year, 1992-2007Note: Totals for 2007 are preliminary. The most frequent type of workplace fatality in Louisiana was highway crashes (37). Homicides, water vehicle accidents, and falls to a lower level were each responsible for 13 fatalities while exposure to caustic, noxious, or allergic substances resulted in 10 workplace deaths. Combined, these five events(1) accounted for 64 percent of all work-related deaths in Louisiana. (See table A.) Highway crashes (officially titled highway incidents and includes non-collision incidents) remained the most frequent type of fatal workplace event for both the State and the nation in 2007. In Louisiana, fatal highway crashes nearly doubled to 37, up from 19 in 2006. The State’s 2007 fatality count for this event was the second-highest on record since the census began in 1992. Highway crashes accounted for 28 percent of all job-related deaths in the State and 24 percent in the nation in 2007. (See table A.) Homicides (13) accounted for 10 percent of on-the-job deaths in Louisiana; nationally, this event represented 11 percent of all workplace fatalities. While the number of work-related homicides in the State was unchanged from 2006, workplace homicides increased by more than 10 percent nationwide in 2007. As noted, two other events also had 13 fatalities each in 2007: water vehicle accidents and falls to a lower level. The State’s fatality count in both increased from the 11 recorded in 2006. Fatalities resulting from water vehicle accidents accounted for 10 percent of Louisiana work-related deaths, but only 1 percent nationwide. Falls to a lower level also accounted for a 10-percent share of the State's fatalities; nationally, this event represented 13 percent of the total. Exposure to caustic, noxious, or allergic substances resulted in 10 job-related fatalities in Louisiana in 2007, the first such deaths since 2000. This year’s count was the highest on record and represented 7 percent of the statewide fatality total. Nationwide, 3 percent of work-related fatalities were caused by this event. Other fatal workplace events in Louisiana included being caught in or compressed by equipment or objects (9) and being struck by objects (7). (See table 1.)
