Description:

For the past 30 years, NIOSH has operated a small research office in Anchorage, Alaska. The NIOSH Division of Safety Research established the Alaska Field Station in 1991 to address the high rate of occupational fatalities among workers in the state. Surveillance from 1980-1989 showed Alaska had the highest rate of occupational fatality in the nation, seven times higher than the rate for all U.S. workers. Initially this high rate was attributed to the harsh environment and remote workplaces, however when Alaska was compared to other Nordic nations operating with similar industries in similar conditions, the rate remained much higher than in areas of Scandinavia.
