A total of 5,071 fatal work injuries were recorded in the United States in 2008, down from a total
of 5,657 fatal work injuries reported for 2007. While the 2008 results are preliminary, this figure represents
the smallest annual preliminary total since the Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries (CFOI) program
was first conducted in 1992. Final results for 2008 will be released in April 2010.

Based on these preliminary counts, the rate of fatal injury for U.S. workers in 2008 was 3.6 fatal work
injuries per 100,000 full-time equivalent (FTE) workers, down from the final rate of 4.0 in 2007.

Profile of fatal work injuries by occupation

About one-fourth of all occupational fatalities in 2008 involved workers in transportation and material
moving occupations, though fatalities among these workers declined by 12 percent in 2008. Driver/sales workers
and truck drivers, the largest occupation group in this sector, led the decline with 16 percent fewer fatal work
injuries in 2008 than in 2007. Heavy and tractor-trailer truck driver fatalities were lower by 13 percent.

Fatalities in construction and extraction occupations, which accounted for nearly one-fifth of all
fatalities in 2008, decreased by 18 percent from the previous year. Construction laborer fatalities were
down 31 percent (from 345 in 2007 to 239 in 2008). Carpenters, brick masons, electricians, roofers, pipe layers,
plumbers, and extraction workers were among the other groups that saw declines in 2008.
First-line supervisors/managers of construction trades and extraction workers, construction equipment operators,
and painters/paperhangers were among the occupational groups in construction and extraction that had higher numbers of fatal injuries in 2008.

Fatal work injuries among protective service occupations fell by 13 percent in 2008 after rising 22 percent
from 2006 to 2007. Fewer fatalities among law enforcement workers (down 15 percent), fire fighting and prevention
workers (down 14 percent), and security guards (down 23 percent) led the decline in this occupational group.

Among the occupation groups with a higher number of fatalities in 2008 were farming, fishing, and
forestry (up 6 percent) and management occupations (up 2 percent). Four occupations with particularly high fatality
rates in 2008 were fishers and related fishing workers with a fatality rate of 128.9 per 100,000 FTE's, logging
workers (115.7), aircraft pilots and flight engineers (72.4), and structural iron and steel workers (46.4).

As of August 2010 - the 2009 figures had not been released.
