The Census of Fatal Occupational
Injuries provides policymakers and the public with comprehensive,
verifiable, and timely measures of fatal work injuries. Data are
complied from various Federal, State, and local sources and include
information on how the incident occurred as well as various
characteristics of the employers and the deceased worker. This
information is used for surveillance of fatal work injuries and for
developing prevention strategies.

1970
The burden calculations are
based on the maximum value over the five year period from 2010
through 2014 to account for any additional increase in future
years. The overall decrease in the burden hour estimate reflects an
overall decrease in the number of fatal occupational injuries
during this period, which resulted in fewer source documents and
followback questionnaires.
