Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries (2011 forward)
Welcome to the step-by-step guide on how to use the Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries (2011 forward) one-screen query system
The Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries (CFOI) program, which is administered by BLS in cooperation with participating state agencies, compiles comprehensive and timely information on fatal work injuries occurring in the 50 states and the District of Columbia.
