Fatal Workplace Injuries in 2005: A Collection of Data and
AnalysisThe Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries (CFOI), administered by
the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) in conjunction with the 50 States, the
District of Columbia, and New York City, compiles detailed information on all
work-related fatal injuries occurring in the United States. In an effort to compile
counts that are as complete as possible, the fatality census uses diverse sources to
identify, verify, and profile fatal work injuries. Source documents such as death
certificates, news accounts, workers' compensation reports, and Federal and State agency
administrative records are cross-referenced to gather key information about each
workplace fatality. The annual CFOI report provides detailed tabulations of
data from the fatality census, as well as analytical articles on various topics related
to fatal workplace injuries. The report has two sections; the first section
contains charts and text highlighting fatality data from the Census of Fatal Occupational
Injuries, including charts derived from the three analytical articles that use CFOI data. The
second section presents detailed data tables and appendices that describe the scope,
methodology, and outputs of the program, along with the full text of the three analytical
articles.
