Abstract
The following paper analyzes the compensating wage differentials workers receive for long term health hazards. Occupational and industry fatalities are separated into short-term hazards and long-term hazards. These variables are included in human capital earnings functions in order to see how they impact on workers' wages. The results indicate that workers do receive wage premiums for long-term hazards, like occupational diseases, however they do not receive additional benefits for job-related accidents except at high levels of risk.
