Workplace Injury and Death: A National Overview of Changing Trends by Sex, United States 1998-2022.

Fatal occupational data from the Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries (CFOI) and nonfatal injury data from the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System-Occupational Supplement (NEISS-Work) for the years 1998-2022 were examined to produce rate ratios of male to female fatal and nonfatal occupational injury rates for all workers in the United States.
