In mid-December, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics released their annual report on fatalities and injuries in the workplace. The report details specific data from the year prior, so all the statistics are from 2020. There were 4,764 fatal work injuries recorded in the United States in 2020, a 10.7 percent decrease from 5,333 in 2019, the BLS reported. The fatal work injury rate was 3.4 fatalities per 100,000 full-time equivalent (FTE) workers, down from 3.5 per 100,000 FTE in 2019.
