1 Totals for 2001 exclude fatalities resulting from the September 11 terrorist attacks. 2 May include volunteers and workers receiving other types of compensation. 3 Includes self-employed workers, owners of unincorporated businesses and farms, paid and unpaid family workers, and may include some owners of

incorporated businesses or members of partnerships. 4 Persons identified as Hispanic or Latino may be of any race. The racial categories shown exclude data for Hispanics and Latinos. 5 Based on the 1992 BLS Occupational Injury and Illness Classification Manual. 6 May include fatalities that occurred in structures that do not meet the definition of permit-required confined spaces as defined by Occupational Safety

and Health Administration regulations. Excludes fatalities from trench cave-ins and from being caught in collapsing materials. 7 The primary source of injury identifies the object, substance, or exposure that directly produced or inflicted the injury. For most transportation

incidents, the primary source identifies the vehicle in which the deceased was an occupant. For most falls, the primary source identifies the surface or

object contacted. 8 The category "Robber" was instituted beginning with 1997 data, which was partial year reporting. 9 The secondary source of injury, if any, identifies the object, substance, or person that generated the source of injury or that contributed to the event or

exposure. For vehicle collisions, the deceased’s vehicle is the primary source and the other object (truck, road divider, etc.) is the secondary source. For

most homicides, the "bullet" is the primary source and the "perpetrator" is the secondary source. For most falls, the secondary source identifies the

equipment or surface from which the worker fell.

10 May include some asphyxiations due to chest compressions. 11 Includes, but is not limited to, walking, sitting, running, and climbing ladders or stairs. 12 The road construction location category was implemented in 1995. Includes road construction workers and vehicle occupants fatally injured in work

zones. Work zones include construction, maintenance, and utility work on a road, street, or highway.

13 Primarily includes outdoor areas such as bodies of water, woods, noncultivated fields, and parking lots. 14 Includes buildings and adjacent grounds used by the general public or a particular group, such as hotels, restaurants, stores, office buildings,

courthouses, and schools.

15 Private residence fatalities primarily occurred to repair or maintenance workers, police while on duty, firefighters, or residential construction workers. 

16 The residential construction location category was implemented in 1998. 17 Includes children’s home, dormitory, hospital, jail, nursing home, and reform school. 18 Based on the 1990 Occupational Classification System developed by the Bureau of the Census. 19 Includes fatalities to persons identified as resident armed forces regardless of individual occupation listed. 20 Classified according to the Standard Industrial Classification Manual, 1987. 21 Includes fatalities at all establishments categorized as Mining (Division B) in the Standard Industrial Classification Manual, 1987 Edition, including

establishments not governed by the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) rules and reporting, such as those in Oil and Gas Extraction.

22 Includes fatalities to workers employed by governmental organizations regardless of industry. * This table was replaced on 1/07/2005. State fatality counts in the previous version of this table, posted from 9/23/04 to 1/7/05, were based on the

Reference State rather than State of Incident, resulting in higher fatality counts in some years for some States. Only State counts were affected--all other

counts are unchanged. ** This table was replaced on 8/07/2007. The data for Asian, Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander workers and Other races or not reported races for the

years 1992 to 1998 were incorrect. The current table contains the correct values.

NOTE: Totals for all years are revised and final. Totals for major categories may include subcategories not shown separately. Dashes indicate no data

reported or data that do not meet publication criteria. N.e.c. means "not elsewhere classified."
