The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries (CFOI) produces comprehensive, accurate, and timely counts of fatal work injuries. CFOI is a Federal-State cooperative program that has been implemented in all 50 States and the District of Columbia since 1992. To compile counts that are as complete as possible, the census uses multiple sources to identify, verify, and profile fatal worker injuries. Information about each workplace fatal injury—occupation and other worker characteristics, equipment involved, and circumstances of the event—is obtained by cross-referencing the source records, such as death certificates, workers' compensation reports, and Federal and State agency administrative reports. To ensure that fatal injuries are work-related, cases are substantiated with two or more independent source documents, or a source document and a follow-up questionnaire. Data compiled by the CFOI program are issued annually for the preceding calendar year. More information and details about the data provided can be found at https://www.bls.gov/iif/oshfat1.htm

Injury and violence are commonly occurring public health problems that adversely affect the health and well-being of individuals and communities. The public health approach to injury and violence prevention is multidisciplinary, encouraging experts and advocates from scientific disciplines, organizations, and communities to work together to find and effectively implement solutions to injury in our state and nation.

In the 2023/24 reporting year, there were 51 fatal injuries to construction workers in Great Britain, the most of any industry sector. The industry with the second-highest number of fatalities was agriculture, which had 23.

Each day, between 12 to 13 U.S. workers die as a result of a traumatic injury on the job. Investigations conducted through the FACE program allow the identification of factors that contribute to these fatal injuries. This information is used to develop comprehensive recommendations for preventing similar deaths. This web page provides access to NIOSH investigation reports and other safety resources.

The dataset contains information on occupational safety and health data of registered factories under the Factories Act, 1948. The data is collated by the office of the Chief Inspector of Factories (CIF) /Directorate of Industrial Safety & Health (DISH) of all States/UTs which is compiled at the national level by the Directorate General of Factory Advice Service and Labour Institutes (DGFASLI). It should be noted that every person killed or injured is treated as one separate accident. If in one occurrence six persons were injured or killed, it is counted as six accidents.

Use these archived reports to find information on medically-treated and fatal injuries to MA residents.

The numbers reflect incidents that were reported to and tracked by the Ministry of Labour. They exclude death from natural causes, death of non- workers at a workplace, suicides, death as a result of a criminal act or traffic accident (unless the OHSA is also implicated) and death from occupational exposures that occurred in the past.

Data from the Ministry of Labour reflects Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) and Employment Standards (ES) information at a point in time and/or for specific reporting purposes. As a result, the information above may not align with other data sources.

Notes on critical injuries :

For the purposes of the data provided, a critical injury of a serious nature includes injuries that:

1. "Place life in jeopardy"
2. "Produce unconsciousness"
3. "Result in substantial loss of blood"
4. "Involve the fracture of a leg or arm but not a finger or toe"
5. "Involve the amputation of a leg, arm, hand or foot but not a finger or toe"
6. "Consist of burns to a major portion of the body"
7. "Cause the loss of sight

Only critical injury events reported to the ministry are included here. This represents data that was reported to the ministry and may not represent what actually occurred at the workplace. The critical injury numbers represent critical injuries reported to the ministry and not necessarily critical injuries as defined by the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA). Non- workers who are critically injured may also be included in the ministry's data. Critical injuries data is presented by calendar year to be consistent with Workplace Safety and Insurance Board harmonized data;

Data is reported based on calendar year

Individual data for the Health Care program is available for Jan. 1 to Mar. 31, 2011 only. From April 2011 onwards Health Care data is included in the Industrial Health and Safety numbers.

Notes on Fatalities :

Only events reported to the ministry are included here. The ministry tracks and reports fatalities at workplaces covered by the OHSA. This excludes death from natural causes, death of non-workers at a workplace, suicides, death as a result of a criminal act or traffic accident (unless the OHSA is also implicated) and death from occupational exposures that occurred many years ago. Fatalities data is presented by calendar year to be consistent with Workplace Safety and Insurance Board harmonized data. Fatality data is reported by year of event.

A. SUMMARY This data was created by the San Francisco Department of Public Health (SFDPH) to update the 2017 Vision Zero High Injury Network dataset. It identifies street segments in San Francisco that have a high number of fatalities and severe injuries. This dataset is a simplified representation of the network and only indicates which streets qualified; it does not contain any additional information, including prioritization by mode or a breakdown of count reported/unreported severe/fatal injuries by corridorized segment. SFDPH shares this network with CCSF agencies to help inform where interventions could save lives and reduce injury severity.

B. HOW THE DATASET IS CREATED The 2022 Vision Zero High Injury Network is derived from 2017-2022 severe and fatal injury data from Zuckerberg San Francisco General (ZSFG), San Francisco Police Department (SFPD), the Office of the Medical Examiner (OME), and Emergency Medical Services agencies. ZSFG patient records and SFPD victim records were probabilistically linked through the Transportation Injury Surveillance System (TISS) using LinkSolv Software. Injury severity for linked SFPD/ZSFG records was reclassified based on injury outcome as determined by ZSFG medical personnel (net 1732 police reported severe injuries) consistent with the Vision Zero Severe Injury Protocol (2017) while unlinked SFPD victim records were not changed (178 police reported severe injuries). Severe injuries captured by ZSFG but not reported to SFPD were also included in this analysis (650 unreported/unlinked geocodable severe injury patient records). Fatality data came from OME records that meet San Francisco’s Vision Zero Fatality Protocol (129 fatalities). Only transportation-related injuries resulting in a severe injury or fatality were used in this analysis. Each street centerline segment block was converted into ~0.25 mile overlapping corridorized sections using ArcPy. These sections were intersected with the severe/fatal injury data. Only severe/fatal injuries with the same primary street as the corridorized section were counted for that section. The count of severe/fatal injuries was then normalized by the sections mileage to derive the number of severe/fatal injuries per mile. A threshold of ≥10 severe/fatal injuries per mile was used as the threshold to determine if a corridorized segment qualified for inclusion into the network. A full methodology of the 2022 update to the Vision Zero High Injury Network can be found here: https://www.visionzerosf.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/2022_Vision_Zero_Network_Update_Methodology.pdf

C. UPDATE PROCESS This dataset will be updated on an as needed basis.

D. HOW TO USE THIS DATASET The 2022 Vision Zero Network represents a snapshot in time (2017-2021) where severe and fatal injuries are most concentrated. It may not reflect current conditions or changes to the City’s transportation system. Although prior incidents can be indicative of future incidents, the 2022 Vision Zero High Injury Network is not a prediction (probability) of future risk. The High Injury Network approach is in contrast to risk-based analysis, which focuses on locations determined to be more dangerous with increased risk or danger often calculated by dividing the number of injuries or collisions by vehicle volumes to estimate risk of injury per vehicle. The High Injury Network provides information regarding the streets where injuries, particularly severe and fatal, are concentrated in San Francisco based on injury counts; it is not an assessment of whether a street or particular location is dangerous. The 2022 Vision Zero Network is derived from the more severe injury outcomes (count of severe/fatal injuries) and may not cover locations with high numbers of less severe injury collisions. Hospital and emergency medical service records from which SFPD-unreported injury and reclassified injury collisions are derived are pro

In 2023, the death rate from unintentional injuries in the United States stood at around **** per 100,000 population. At that time, the death rate for suicide was **** per 100,000 population, an increase from a rate of **** in the year 2003.

This dataset describes injury mortality in the United States beginning in 1999. Two concepts are included in the circumstances of an injury death: intent of injury and mechanism of injury. Intent of injury describes whether the injury was inflicted purposefully (intentional injury) and, if purposeful, whether the injury was self-inflicted (suicide or self-harm) or inflicted by another person (homicide). Injuries that were not purposefully inflicted are considered unintentional (accidental) injuries. Mechanism of injury describes the source of the energy transfer that resulted in physical or physiological harm to the body. Examples of mechanisms of injury include falls, motor vehicle traffic crashes, burns, poisonings, and drownings (1,2). Data are based on information from all resident death certificates filed in the 50 states and the District of Columbia. Age-adjusted death rates (per 100,000 standard population) are based on the 2000 U.S. standard population. Populations used for computing death rates for 2011–2015 are postcensal estimates based on the 2010 census, estimated as of July 1, 2010. Rates for census years are based on populations enumerated in the corresponding censuses. Rates for non-census years before 2010 are revised using updated intercensal population estimates and may differ from rates previously published. Causes of injury death are classified by the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD–10). Categories of injury intent and injury mechanism generally follow the categories in the external-cause-of-injury mortality matrix (1,2). Cause-of-death statistics are based on the underlying cause of death.

It is widely acknowledged that there are costs involved with fatal injury to workers. These costs cross numerous boundaries, and generally address the overall costs to victims and the affected groups, and to society as a whole. This represents a cause for concern to employers, worker groups, policy makers, medical personnel, economists and others interested in workplace safety and health. This broad-reaching burden can include social costs, organizational costs, familial and interpersonal group costs, as well as personal costs such as suffering and loss of companionship. The data in the accompanying tables focus on monetary costs of fatal occupational injury which largely consist of foregone wages, but also include the direct costs of medical care and the indirect costs of household production and certain ancillary measures.

These data represent a continuation of prior research by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) that attempted to delimit the economic consequences of workplace injury for earlier years. Interested parties should be aware that these data serve as a supplemental update to prior NIOSH publications which described the magnitude and circumstances of occupational injury deaths for earlier years 1,2.

The current data build on this research, and the findings are compelling. Over the period studied, 2003-2010, the costs from these 42,380 premature deaths exceeded $44 billion, an amount greater than the reportable gross domestic product for some States. These findings inform the national will to reduce this severe toll on our nation’s workers, institutions, communities, and the nation itself. Researchers and concerned parties within the occupational and public health professions, academia, organizations focusing on workplace safety, labor unions and the business community have all proven to be willing and avid users of this data, and have used this research to continue their efforts, in concert with continuing NIOSH research efforts, to reduce the great toll that injury imposes on our workers, workplaces, and Nation.

High Injury Network (HIN) Development MethodologyCity of Pittsburgh The purpose of developing a High Injury Network (HIN) is to identify and prioritize areas with high frequencies of traffic-related injuries and fatalities. The goal of developing the HIN is to increase road safety by focusing resources and improvements on high-risk areas. The development of a HIN is an important piece of Vision Zero. Vision Zero sets a clear goal of zero fatalities and severe injuries on roadways, while the HIN identifies and prioritizes areas where these incidents are most prevalent. This analysis uses the City’s Street Centerline GIS data and PennDOT five (5) year reported traffic crash data from 2018-2022. Other assumptions used in the development of the network are outlined in this document. The Network: There are 2,423 miles of roadways in the city of Pittsburgh. For this analysis: We focused on surface streets and excluded limited access facilities including interstates, ramps, facilities with no city-maintained components (Example-Rt 65) and tunnels. Most traffic incidents occur on surface streets in urban areas. These are also the streets that will have the highest pedestrian, bicycle and vehicle interactions, making them crucial areas for safety.We included all streets regardless of facility owner (i.e., city, state or county ownership). This is because even if the city does not have direct oversight of the roadway, it is important for us to know where crashes are occurring. Additionally, while the city may not own the roadway, in many cases the city own signal equipment, streetlights and/or have oversight over other aspects of the roadway that might be opportunities for safety intervention. Injury Crash Data and network development strategies We developed a methodology to translate injury crash data into insights on roadway safety. Crashes without a reported or suspected injury are not included in the analysis. We included all Fatal and Injury Crash (FIC) data including suspected serious injury, suspected minor injury, and possible injury to identify HIN corridors. Many traditional HIN’s factor only serious and fatal injuries. The reason we used ‘all-injury crashes’ was to eliminate the possibility of any discrepancies or subjectivity in police crash reports. This allowed us to have a broader sample size which help us identify injury crash hotspots proactively before they may result in greater injury or even a fatality crash without proper interventions. This strategy also ensures a holistic view of the road system and its vulnerability which is the core of the concept of “Safe System Approach”. The team conducted a GIS analysis to identify the high injury network. The injury and crash network reflect: Roadway segments with 5 or more injury crashes within 1500 ft, along with any segments lying between them, were combined to define a corridor. Individual roadway segments with 2 or more serious or fatal injury crashes within 200 ft to each other but the overall injury crash count of the segment is less than 5.We manually reviewed crashes occurring at or near intersections to ensure that crashes were appropriately assigned to the primary or secondary street. Factoring in Vulnerable Road Users A Vulnerable Road User (VRU) is defined as a non- motorist and someone who is walking, biking, rolling, or using a mobility device, such as a wheelchair (PennDOT, 2023). VRU’s are of critical concern and a priority for DOMI as they are at heightened risk of severe injury or fatality as a result of a vehicle crash. While VRU crashes are included in the development of the HIN, the team identified Top 10 segments with high pedestrian or bicycle crashes that didn’t meet the threshold for inclusion of the high injury network. Finally, this analysis included findings from the Pennsylvania VRU Safety Assessment Report. The HIN network included both the identified high-risk areas and systemic safety focused identified urban segments and intersections from the report. As expected, almost all of these data points were already identified from the previous phases of analysis. Data that were missing was incorporated into the HIN.
