The most recent occupational electrical injury and fatality data covers the 20 year period from 1992-2010, but mainly focuses on 2003-2010 data.
Click here to download Workplace Electrical Injury and Fatality Statistics, 2003-2010, which includes the following tables and figures:
Table 1 – Total fatalities from all causes, 2003–2010. Shows all causes of occupational fatality by Event code. The Events that caused occupational fatality are rank ordered by total number of fatalities. This table includes all fatalities to workers over the age of 16 in Private Industry, military personnel, the self-employed, and government employees.
Table 2 – Fatal electrical injuries for all industries, by Event, 1992–2010. Includes results from 1992 to 2002 for trending purposes, in addition to those for 2003-2010. The totals and percentages reflect the entire period from 1992 to 2010.
Table 3 – Number of electrical fatalities, Private Industry, 2003–2010. This table excludes fatalities to workers under 16 years old, military, and government employees.
Table 4 – Nonfatal electrical injuries involving days away from work, Private Industry, by Event, 1992–2010. This table includes nonfatal injuries that occurred from 1992 to 2010 for trending purposes. The totals and percentages reflect the period from 1992 to 2010.
Table 5 – Median number of days away from work for nonfatal electrical injuries, by Event, 1992–2010. This table includes results from 1992 to 2010 for trending purposes. The totals and percentages reflect the entire period from 1992 to 2010.
Table 6 – Occupational groups with the most fatal electrical injuries, 2003–2010. Reflects the Industry structure and the job structure within that Industry. The percentages are shown using the total electrical fatalities from Table 1 as the denominator.
Table 7 – Fatal electrical injuries by selected worker characteristics, all U.S., all ownerships, 2003–2010. This table depicts the total number of fatal electrical injuries by year versus employment status, gender, age, race, source of injury, nature of injury, part of body, worker activity, location, occupation, and industry.
Table 8 - Nonfatal electrical injuries by selected worker characteristics, all U.S., private industry, 2003-2010. This table depicts the total number of nonfatal electrical injuries inolving days away from work by year versus gender, age, occupation, length of service, race, number of days away from work, industry, nature of injury, part of body, source of injury, day of week, time of day, and number of hours worked before injury occurred.
