NOTE: Although deaths may appear irrelevant to disability tables, they provide incidence for extreme incidents and may be instructive for planning and prevention. Totals may be used to compute percentages (e.g., 481/6,271 = 0.077 = 7.7% = percent of the fatal occupational injuries in which women died).
