1 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/oshcfdef.htm) for a more detailed description of each data element.
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.
