COLORADO WORKPLACE FATALITIES - 2009 (PDF)
Fatal work injuries in Colorado totaled 80 in 2009, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Regional Commissioner Stanley W. Suchman noted that while the 2009 results are preliminary, the number of work-related fatalities in Colorado decreased by 25 from the 2008 total and was the second-lowest total since the Bureau began tracking workplace fatalities in 1992. (See chart 1.) Final 2009 national and State results will be released in April 2011.
Chart 1. Total workplace fatalities in Colorado, 1992-2009
Highway incidents (23) were the leading cause of workplace fatalities in Colorado in 2009. Four other events resulted in seven or more fatal on-the-job injuries--falls to a lower level (9), homicides (8), aircraft incidents (7), and self-inflicted injuries (7). Combined, these five types of events1 accounted for 68 percent of all work-related fatalities in the State in 2009. (See tables A and B.)
In Colorado, the number of fatal injuries from highway incidents was down from the 31 recorded in 2008. This number has declined each year since recording a series high of 42 deaths in 2006. Though work-related deaths due to highway incidents declined in the State and the nation, this event remained the most frequent on-the-job fatality for both. Still, the share of job-related fatalities attributable to highway incidents in 2009 was higher in the State (29 percent) than in the nation (20 percent).
Falls to a lower level were responsible for nine fatalities in Colorado in 2009, the same as reported in 2008. With the exception of 12 fatalities in 2006, the number of work-related deaths due to this event has ranged from 7 to 9 in each year since 2004. Fatal injuries from falls to a lower level represented 11 percent of job-related deaths in Colorado and 12 percent of the U.S. total in 2009.
Work-related homicides resulted in eight fatalities in the State in 2009, little changed from the seven reported in 2008. Homicides accounted for 10 percent of fatal work injuries in the State and 12 percent of the nation’s total.
Aircraft incidents (7) and self-inflicted injuries (7) each accounted for 9 percent of the State’s total fatalities in 2009. Nationally, aircraft incidents accounted for 4 percent of all work-related deaths and self-inflicted injuries accounted for 5 percent.
Other events leading to workplace fatalities in Colorado in 2009 included workers being struck by an object or equipment (5) and falls on the same level (3). Together these two events were responsible for 10 percent of all fatal work injuries in Colorado in 2009. (See table 1.) Fatalities from these same two events accounted for 11 percent of the total for the United States.

Key characteristics of fatal work injuries in Colorado:
- Men accounted for 91 percent (73) of the work-related fatalities in the State in 2009. Transportation incidents, which include highway, nonhighway, pedestrian, air, water, and rail fatalities, accounted for 42 percent of these deaths. Seven women were fatally injured on the job in 2009. (See table 2.)
- Seventy percent of those who died from a workplace injury in Colorado were white, non-Hispanic (56) and 20 percent were Hispanic or Latino (16). Transportation incidents were the most frequent type of fatal event for white, non-Hispanic workers (24) and Hispanic or Latino workers (8). (See table 2.)
- Workers 25-54 years old—the prime working age group—made up 73 percent of the State’s work-related fatalities in 2009 with 58 deaths. (See table 2.) Nationally, those 25-54 years old accounted for 61 percent of on-the-job fatalities.
- Ninety percent of workers killed on-the-job in Colorado worked for wages and salaries (72), the rest were self-employed. Transportation incidents (31) accounted for the largest number of fatalities among wage and salary workers in 2009. Assaults and violent acts (4) and transportation incidents (3) were the most frequent fatality events for self-employed workers. (See table 2.)
- Three industry sectors made up 45 percent of the workplace fatalities in Colorado—construction (18), retail trade (9), and transportation and warehousing (9). Falls were the most prevalent cause of workplace deaths in the construction industry, accounting for seven of the fatal injuries. In retail trade, transportation incidents and assaults and violent acts each accounted for three fatal injuries. Transportation incidents were the leading cause of death in the transportation and warehousing sector (7). (See table 3.)
- From an occupational perspective, construction and extraction occupations had the highest number of workplace fatalities (21), followed by transportation and material moving occupations (17). Combined, these two occupational groups accounted for almost half (48 percent) of all fatal work injuries in Colorado. Falls were the most frequent cause of on-the-job fatalities in construction and extraction occupations, while transportation incidents led among transportation and material moving occupations. ( (See table 4.)
U.S. workplace fatalities
Nationwide, a preliminary total of 4,340 fatal work injuries were recorded in 2009, a decrease of 17 percent from the revised total of 5,214 fatal work injuries recorded in 2008. This preliminary figure represents the smallest annual total since the Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries (CFOI) program was first conducted in 1992. (See table B.) Economic factors played a major role in the national fatal work injury decrease as total hours worked declined during the year. Similarly, some industries that have historically accounted for a significant share of fatal work injuries, such as construction, experienced even larger declines in employment or hours worked.
Highway incidents in 2009 continued to lead all other events in the frequency of on-the-job fatalities, a position held since the program’s inception in 1992. Still, the 2009 count of 882 fatal injuries from highway incidents was down 27 percent from the 2008 count of 1,215 fatal injuries.
Workplace homicides (521) declined 1 percent in 2009. Workplace suicides (237) were down 10 percent nationwide in 2009 from the series high of 263 in 2008. However, this 2009 preliminary count of workplace suicides is the second highest annual total reported by the fatality census.
Falls to a lower level decreased 13 percent (from 593 in 2008 to 518 in 2009). Around half of all fatal falls to a lower level occur in construction, so the decline in construction employment may account for the lower number of fatal work injuries due to falls to a lower level.
Thirty-seven states reported lower numbers of fatal work injuries in 2009 than in 2008, while 13 states and the District of Columbia reported higher numbers.

Technical note
Background of the program
The Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries, part of the BLS occupational safety and health statistics program, compiles a count of all fatal work injuries occurring in the U.S. in each calendar year. The program uses diverse State, federal, and independent data sources to identify, verify, and describe fatal work injuries. This assures counts are as complete and accurate as possible.
For technical information about the CFOI program, please go to the BLS Handbook of Methods on the BLS web site here: www.bls.gov/opub/hom/homch9_a1.htm. The technical information and definitions for the CFOI Program are in Chapter 9, Part III of the BLS Handbook of Methods.
Federal/State agency coverage
The Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries includes data for all fatal work injuries, whether the decedent was working in a job covered by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) or other federal or State agencies or was outside the scope of regulatory coverage. Thus, any comparison between the BLS fatality census counts and those released by other agencies should take into account the different coverage requirements and definitions being used by each agency.
Several federal and State agencies have jurisdiction over workplace safety and health. OSHA and affiliated agencies in States with approved safety programs cover the largest portion of the nation's workers. However, injuries and illnesses occurring in certain industries or activities, such as coal, metal, and nonmetal mining and highway, water, rail, and air transportation, are excluded from OSHA coverage because they are covered by other federal agencies, such as the Mine Safety and Health Administration and various agencies within the Department of Transportation.
Acknowledgments
BLS thanks the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment for their efforts in collecting accurate, comprehensive, and useful data on fatal work injuries. BLS also appreciates the efforts of all federal, State, local, and private sector entities that submitted source documents used to identify fatal work injuries. Among these agencies are the Occupational Safety and Health Administration; the National Transportation Safety Board; the U.S. Coast Guard; the Mine Safety and Health Administration; the Employment Standards Administration (Federal Employees' Compensation and Longshore and Harbor Workers' divisions); the Federal Railroad Administration; the Department of Energy; State vital statistics registrars, coroners, and medical examiners; State departments of health, labor and industries, and workers' compensation agencies; State and local police departments; and State farm bureaus.
Notes
1
Fatal events are categorized into several major groupings including transportation incidents, assaults and violent acts, and falls, among others. These major groups are further broken down into more detailed groups. See the Occupational Injury & Illness Classification System (OIICS) Manual at www.bls.gov/iif/oshoiics.htm for detailed information on the categories of fatalities used in this census.
