  In 2018, OR-FACE recorded 55 fatal occupational incidents resulting in worker deaths, as well as four incidents that could not be determined due to insufficient information. The number represents a rate of 2.73 fatalities per 100,000 employed workers in the civilian labor force in Oregon. The national worker fatality rate in 2018 was 3.5 per 100,000 full-time equivalent workers. The following notable trends occurred in 2018: The agriculture industry had the highest number of fatalities, followed by transportation and construction. These three industries have been among the top four industries for fatalities in all ten of the previous ten years (see pg. 13). For events, fatal cases from transportation (motor vehicle) exceeded all other events, followed by contact with objects and equipment incidents. Motor vehicle incidents have the highest number of cumulative events through 2018 (see pg. 14). [Description provided by NIOSH]
