The number represents a rate of 2.92 fatalities per 100,000 employed workers in the civilian labor force in Oregon. The national worker fatality rate in 2016 was 3.6 per 100,000 full-time equivalent workers. The following notable trends occurred in 2016: The forestry and logging industry had the highest number of fatalities, followed by transportation. These two industries have been among the top 4 industries for fatalities in 12 of the previous 13 years (see pg. 15). Fatal cases from Contact events exceeded all other events, followed by Motor Vehicle Incidents.
