In 1995, there were 6,275 occupational injury deaths in the United States. By 2023, this number had decreased to 5,283 deaths. Occupational injury deaths reached a peak in 1994, with 6,632 deaths. The lowest number of occupational injury deaths recorded was in 2009, with 4,551 deaths.

In 2023/24, 138 workers died due to fatal injuries at their workplace in Great Britain, more than in the previous year but fewer than there were in 2020/21. During the provided time period, there has been a noticeable decline in the number of workplace fatalities in Britain.

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

This dataset contains estimates for the number of working days lost due to workplace non-fatal injuries and the rates of working days lost per worker and per case of injury, by the gender and age of workers, in the United Kingdom. The statistics are calculated by Health and Safety Executive (HSE) based on the Labor Force Survey (LFS) data provided by the Office for National Statistics.

In 2022, falls from the same level accounted for around 18 percent of the total cost of disabling workforce injuries in the United States. The direct costs for this type of injury stood at some 10.52 billion U.S. dollars that year. This statistic displays the top 10 causes of the most disabling U.S. workplace injuries in terms of costs in 2022.

The Survey of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses (SOII) is a Federal/State cooperative program that publishes estimates on nonfatal occupational injuries and illnesses. Each year, approximately 200,000 employers report for establishments in private industry and the public sector (state and local government). In-scope cases include work-related injuries or illnesses to workers who require medical care beyond first aid. See the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) for the entire recordkeeping guidelines. The SOII excludes all work–related fatalities as well as nonfatal work injuries and illnesses to the self–employed; to workers on farms with 10 or fewer employees; to private household workers; to volunteers; and to federal government workers. More information and details about the data provided can be found at https://www.bls.gov/iif/soii-overview.htm

Introduction

Workplace Safety Statistics: Do you think your workplace is dangerous? If you work in high-risk areas like law enforcement, emergency services, or agriculture, you might. But accidents can happen in any job, from offices to construction sites. Falls cause injuries to millions of workers each year, whether they’re in retail, admin, or on a construction site. Workplace accidents are a problem for everyone.

They lead to medical and insurance costs, lost productivity, and lost wages. Plus, they can lower morale and engagement among employees. To tackle these issues, it’s important to understand Workplace Safety Statistics. Let’s look at some interesting numbers.

This dataset contains estimates for the number of working days lost due to workplace non-fatal injuries and the rate of working days lost per worker, by occupation, in the United Kingdom. The statistics are calculated by Health and Safety Executive (HSE) based on the Labor Force Survey (LFS) data provided by the Office for National Statistics.

Abstract Paper aims To study fall-accident cases in order to analyze the commonly missing or not adequately applied risk management measures (RMM) and its consequences depending on falling height. Originality First study to analyze failed RMM for preventing falls from height. Research method The study reviewed court cases published by the journal “Safety & Health Practitioner”. NIOSH recommendations were used to define RMM to apply to this study. Main findings Finally, in 98% of analyzed cases, the fall from height was a result of several non-adequate or missing RMM: in 81.6% procedures of work, 65.8% guardrails and edge protection, 60.5% risk assessment, and 60.5% platforms or scaffolds. It can be concluded that falls from height pose a significant risk for workers, which could be prevented by adequately apply RMM. Implications for theory and practice The focus in the prevention of falls should be given on most common RMM.

Introduction

Workplace violence statistics: Workplace violence is a serious issue that affects many industries worldwide. Each year, around 20,000 workers are injured in nonfatal violent incidents, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

In fact, workplace violence is the second leading cause of death on the job, making up about 17% of all workplace fatalities. Healthcare, retail, and public service jobs are particularly at risk, with these industries accounting for nearly 70% of nonfatal injuries.

These numbers highlight why it's so important for employers to focus on preventing violence, through better policies, employee training, and awareness programs. Creating a safer workplace benefits both employees and organizations.

In 2023/24, the most common type of non-fatal workplace injuries in Great Britain were caused by slips, trips, or falls on the same level, at approximately 18,928.

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.

In 2023, about 2.4 per 100 workers in the United States had a nonfatal occupational injury or illness. This statistic shows the nonfatal occupational injuries and illnesses incident rate in the United States from 2003 to 2023.
