The Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries provides policymakers and the public with comprehensive, verifiable, and timely measures of fatal work injuries. Data are compiled from various sources including Federal, State, and local governments, the private sector and individuals 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.
The overall increase in burden hours from 2,760 to 2,782 reflects an overall increase in the number of fatal occupational injuries during this period, which resulted in more follow-back questionnaires received.
