       1 The Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries (CFOI) has published data on fatal occupational injuries 
     for the United States since 1992. During this time, the classification systems and definitions of many 
     data elements have changed. See the CFOI Definitions page (www.bls.gov/iif/definitions/census-of-fatal-
     occupational-injuries-definitions.htm) for a more detailed description of each data element.     
       2 CFOI has used several versions of the Standard Occupation Classification (SOC) system since 2003 to 
     define occupation. For complete information on the version of SOC used in these years, see the CFOI 
     definitions page. Cases where occupation is unknown are included in the total.
     
       Note: Data for all years are revised and final. Totals for major categories may include subcategories 
     not shown separately. Dashes indicate no data reported or data that do not meet publication criteria. 
     CFOI fatal injury counts exclude illness-related deaths unless precipitated by an injury event.
