1992-2002 Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries (revised data)

  • Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries All worker profile, 1992-2002 (PDF 233K)

    NOTE: This table was replaced on 1/07/2005. State fatal injury counts in the previous version of this table, posted from 9/23/2004 to 1/07/2005, were based on the Reference State rather than State of Incident, resulting in higher fatal injury counts in some years for some States. Only State counts were affected—all other counts are unchanged.

    This table was replaced on 8/7/2007. There was an error, affecting only this table, in the data for two race categories, posted from 9/23/2004 to 8/5/2007. This affected the race fatal injury counts for the "Asian, Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander" and the "Other races or not reported" categories in the data for 1992 through 1998. The current version of this table, made available on 01/31/2008, corrects this error.
