       1 Fatal injury rates are per 100,000 full-time equivalent (FTE) workers. Fatal injury rates exclude workers 
    under the age of 16 years, volunteers, and resident military. Complete national rates can be found 
    at www.bls.gov/iif/fatal-injuries-tables.htm#rates. Complete state rates can be found at www.bls.gov/iif/
    state-data.htm. National and state rates are calculated using different methodology and cannot be directly compared. 
    See www.bls.gov/opub/hom/cfoi/calculation.htm#comparisons-of-national-and-state-rates for more information on 
    how rates are calculated and caveats for comparison. N/A means a rate was not published for this group.
       2 The Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries (CFOI) has published data on fatal occupational injuries 
    for the United States since 1992. During this time, the classification systems and definitions of many data 
    elements have changed. See the CFOI Definitions page ((www.bls.gov/iif/definitions/census-of-fatal-
    occupational-injuries-definitions.htmm) for a more detailed description of each data element.
       3 CFOI has used several versions of the Standard Occupation Classification (SOC) system since 2003 to define 
    occupation. For complete information on the version of SOC used in these years, see our definitions page 
    at https://www.bls.gov/iif/oshcfdef.htm. Cases where occupation is unknown are included in the total.
      
       Note: Data 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." CFOI fatal injury counts exclude illness-related deaths unless 
    precipitated by an injury event.
