In 2008, CFOI implemented a new methodology, using hours worked for fatal work injury rate calculations rather than employment. For additional information on the fatal work injury rate methodology, please see www.bls.gov/iif/oshnotice10.htm.

Rate of fatal work injuries per 100,000 full-time equivalent workers by employee status, 2006-15 The 2015 rate of fatal work injuries for all workers was 3.4 fatal work injuries per 100,000 full-time equivalent workers (FTEs). The rate for self-employed workers has consistently been higher than that of all workers since the adoption of hours-based rates.

Contracted into industry Fatal work injuries by adjusted industry1, 2015 Components of the adjusted industry calculation 1 Adjusted industry is the industry of the entity that had overall responsibility for the operations at the site at which the worker was fatally injured. The formula for calculating it is:
(Decedents directly employed in the industry and not a contracted worker + decedents directly employed in the industry and contracted by an entity in the same industry + decedents directly employed in another industry but contracted by an entity in the industry - decedents directly employed in the industry but contracted by an entity in another industry). All industries shown are private with the exception of government, which includes fatal injuries to workers within governmental organizations regardless of industry.

In 2015, 937 fatally injured workers were directly employed in private construction. Of these, 308 were injured at sites overseen by non-construction entities. Another 629 workers stayed in their industry and were not contracted or were contracted in the same industry as their direct employer, private construction. An additional 21 workers were contracted into private construction, but were not directly employed by a private construction firm. Thus, an adjusted total of 650 workers were fatally injured while working at a site overseen in the private construction industry.
Total = 4,836 16 Mining, quarrying, and oil and gas extraction
17 Fatal occupational injuries in the private sector mining, quarrying, and oil and gas extraction industry, 2003-15 Fatal work injuries in the private mining, quarrying, and oil and gas extraction industry decreased by 34 percent in 2015 to the lowest level since 2009. The fatal injury rate also decreased to 11.4 per 100,000 full-time equivalent workers (FTE) in 2015 from 14.2 per 100,000 FTE workers in 2014. Oil and gas extraction industries accounted for 74 percent of the fatal work injuries in this sector in 2015.
