Corrections to Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries data The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) identified several incorrect national-level fatality rates and hours worked in the Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries (CFOI). The affected data were fatal occupational injury counts, fatal occupational injury rates, and the total hours worked for selected occupations, industries, and a race/ethnicity category. The affected data were not in the LABSTAT database, but appear in several BLS products. These products are listed on this webpage. The following products contain incorrect data and will not be reissued. News release, Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries Summary, 2014 (PDF)
