Abstract
The U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) has developed theCensus of Fatal Occupational Injuries (CFOI) program to improve the collection ofoccupational injury data. This article: (a) analyzes CFOI data identified by the BLS asagriculturally related for the years 1992-1995; and (b) critically examines a limitednumber of variables to compare the CFOI data to previously published reports ofagricultural occupational fatalities. The results suggest that the CFOI system does agood job of identifying and describing injuries that it views as agricultural occupationalfatalities. Future analyses need to focus on the ability of the CFOI system to captureagricultural industry incidents involving farm workers who may have another usualoccupation or are unpaid or volunteer helpers.
