Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries - Masked

Description

The Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries (CFOI) produces comprehensive, accurate, and timely counts of fatal work injuries. Records include information about each workplace fatal injury such as occupation, other worker characteristics, equipment involved, and circumstances of the event. This version of the CFOI is available only through the VDE.

Detailed Methodology

Sample

The CFOI program uses diverse state, federal, and independent data sources to identify, verify, and describe all U.S. fatal work injuries. Collection of the data is continuous, starting on the first day of the calendar year of the reference period and ending in late fall of the following year, allowing ample time for source document collection, follow-up requests, and coding review.
