The AI-Powered Construct

The data set records the work-related casualties of the industrial, transportation and construction enterprises in Qinghai Province. The data is divided according to the work-related casualties of the industrial, transportation and construction enterprises in Qinghai Province. The data are collected from the statistical yearbook of Qinghai Province issued by the Bureau of statistics of Qinghai Province. The data set consists of three data tables Statistics of work-related injuries and deaths in the whole province, The situation of work-related casualties in the whole province's industrial, transportation and construction enterprises, 1999.xls, The situation of work-related injuries and deaths in the province's industrial, transportation and construction enterprises in 2000.xls. The data table structure is the same. For example, there are six fields in the 1998 data sheet of work-related casualties in the province's labor, transportation and construction enterprises Field 1: company name Field 2: Total Field 3: state owned enterprises Field 4: collective enterprise Field 5: rural collective enterprises Field 6: other

In 2022, the highest number of fatal industrial accidents occurred in the construction industry with 223 cases, followed by the tertiary industry with 209 casualties. That year, the total number of fatalities caused by work accidents amounted to 755 cases.

Here you will find an open data set with the Labour Inspection Authority’s statistics on occupational injury deaths per year for the last five-year period. The Working Environment Act & 5-2 requires employers to notify the Labour Inspection Authority of serious work-related personal injuries to their own employees. Occupational injury death means a work injury that causes the injured employee to die within one year of the accident. The Labour Inspection Authority provides statistics on occupational injury deaths occurring within the Labour Inspection Authority’s administrative area that is limited to the land-based labour market in Norway. Occupational injury deaths in aviation, shipping, fishing and capture, petroleum activities on the Norwegian continental shelf and the construction and operation of land-based petroleum facilities are followed up by other supervisory authorities. Occupational injury deaths in these industries are therefore not included in these statistics. Occupational injury deaths in military occupations are included, with the exception of deaths in war situations. For more information about the data set read here. The open data set consists of: Year (Ar), Gender (Kjonn), Number of occupational injury deaths (Number)
