The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment released alarming statistics from their annual Census of Fatal Occupation Injuries. According to the Census, transportation-related deaths made up 34% of all workplace fatalities in 2010. That means that in Colorado, 27 of the 80 on-the-job deaths were caused from some form of transportation related accident. 19 of the deaths occurred in the trade and utilities industries while 15 were reported by the natural-resources and mining industry. In comparison, construction, considered one of the more dangerous employment fields suffered a smaller death toll at 10. The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment compiled its research data according to a Denver Post article from reports generated by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), workers’ compensation claims and death certificates.
