The number represents a rate of 2.88 fatalities per 100,000 employed workers in the civilian labor force in Oregon. The national worker fatality rate in 2010 was 3.6 per 100,000 full-time equivalent workers, down from 3.5 in 2009 (CFOI). The following notable trends occurred in 2010. Overall, the number of fatalities was lower compared to the last three years. In 2009, there were 64 worker deaths, 61 worker deaths in 2008, and 68 worker deaths in 2007. Consistent with previous trends, transportation remains the most common event, industry, and occupation to cause work-related fatalities in Oregon. The second most frequent cause of death was violence, with suicide being the most common (13 of the 16 violent incidents). Management occupations had the second highest occupational death rate, after transportation. Delayed deaths were limited to 2 cases in 2010, compared to 3 cases in 2009 and 5 cases in 2008. Delayed death is defined as death over 2 days following the date of injury. One delayed death in 2010 occurred 3 days after the original injury, the other death occurred 21 years after the original incident. Description provided by NIOSH
