3 Fatal work injury rates, by age group, 2012 (per 100, Fatal work injury rate full - time equivalent workers) All worker fatal work injury rate = to to to to to to and over Age group Fatal work injury rates for workers 45 years of age and over were higher than the overall U.S. rate, and the rate for workers 65 years of age and over was around 3 times the rate for all workers. Note: Fatal injury rates exclude workers under the age of 16 years, volunteers, and resident military. For additional informa please see tio n on the fatal work injury rate methodology, 13

6 Rate of fatal work injuries, Fatal work injury rate (per 100,000 full-time equivalent workers) The rate of fatal work injuries in 2012 was 3.4 fatal work injuries per 100,000 full-time equivalent workers, down slightly from 3.5 in Note: Rate = (Fatal work injuries/total hours worked by all workers) x 200,000,000 where 200,000,000 = base for 100,000 full-time equivalent workers (FTEs) working 40 hours per week, 50 weeks per year. The total hours worked figures are annual average estimates of total at work multiplied by average hours for civilians, 16 years of age and older, from the Current Population Survey (CPS). In 2008, CFOI implemented a new methodology, using hours worked for fatal work injury rate calculations rather than employment.

Note: In 2011, the CFOI program began collecting contractor data to capture decedents who were working as contractors at the time of the fatal incident. All industries shown are private with the exception of government, which includes fatal injuries to workers contracted by governmental organizations regardless of industry. See for more information.
