For all workers, occupational fatalities in the United States fell slightly from 6,217 in 1992 to 6,026 in 1998. Transportation incidents, the largest single cause of occupational fatalities, however, increased from 2,484 to 2,630 (table 1). Consequently, transportation’s share in the total rose from 40 percent in 1992 to 44 percent in 1998. Highway incidents accounted for over half of the transportation-related deaths in 1998. Truck drivers alone made up 14.6 percent of all occupational fatalities, with 879 killed, 721 of them in transportation incidents (table 2). Occupational deaths caused by highway incidents increased by almost 24 percent between 1992 and 1998, while deaths in aircraft incidents decreased by 37 percent during the same period [1].
