• Description:
  From 2001-2018, 352 workers have died from a work-related (WR) homicide in Michigan. A WR homicide is the third leading cause of a work-related death, although its rank varied from year to year. The number of WR homicides per county mirrored the county population: the southeast Michigan counties of Wayne, Oakland and Macomb accounted for 254 (72.2%) of the 352 WR homicides. Wayne County had the highest number of WR homicides (211, 59.9% of all WR homicides). Of the 352 workers, 301 (85.5%) were men; 154 (51.2%) were White and 119 (39.5%) were African American. Of the 51 women who died from a homicide, 40 (78.4%) were White and 10 (19.6%) were African American. Overall, a gun was the weapon in 81.5% WR homicides; for men, a gun was involved in 84.0% incidents and for women, 71.4% incidents (the cause of the homicide was unknown for one man and two women).
