Footnotes: (1) Fatally injured workers under the age of 16 were not included in this table to maintain consistency with the nonfatal estimates from the Survey of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses (SOII). (2) For homicides, "bullet" is the primary source and "perpetrator" is the secondary source. The primary source of injury or illness is the object, substance, element, or bodily motion which directly produced the injury or illness previously identified in the nature of injury or illness classification. If the event is classified under "assaults and violent acts," the secondary source is the person who committed the act.
