• Description:
  In the United States, a total of 5,840 work-related deaths (rate of 4.0 per 100,000 workers) were reported in 2006. Historically, the annual rate of work-related deaths has been higher in Oklahoma than the national rate. In July 1997, the Commissioner of Health declared work-related fatalities a reportable condition in Oklahoma. The Injury Prevention Service of the Oklahoma State Department of Health monitors work-related injury deaths in Oklahoma. Both intentional and unintentional work-related injury deaths are included. Data are collected from multiple sources including the Oklahoma State Department of Health Vital Statistics, the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the Public Employees Occupational Safety and Health Program, the Department of Public Safety, and a newspaper clipping service. Hospital medical records and law enforcement reports are also used to provide supplemental information. Description provided by NIOSH
