Details

• Corporate Authors:
  Oregon Fatality Assessment and Control Evaluation (Program) (OR-FACE)
• Description:
  In 2019, OR-FACE recorded 53 fatal occupational incidents resulting in worker deaths, as well as three incidents that could not be determined due to insufficient information (e.g., natural causes vs. a work-related incident, the decedent doing a work-related task, etc.). The number represents a rate of 2.61 fatalities per 100,000 employed workers in the civilian labor force in Oregon. The national worker fatality rate in 2019 was 3.5 per 100,000 full-time equivalent workers. The agriculture industry had the highest number of fatalities, followed by construction and transportation. These three industries have been among the top four industries for fatalities in each year in the past decade. For events, fatal cases from transportation (motor vehicle) exceeded all other events, followed by slip/strips/falls, contact with objects, and incidents involving equipment (non-motor vehicle). Motor vehicle incidents have the highest number of cumulative events through 2019. Description provided by NIOSH
