There are two breaks in the series. In 1991, BLS switched from estimating Fatality rates from their
survey, to conducting a Census of Fatal Injuries (CFOI). In 2006, BLS switched from an employmentbased fatality rate to an hourly-based fatality rate.

Recordkeeping Modernization
As of January 1, 2015, all employers must report to their

• All work-related fatalities within 8 hours
• All work-related inpatient hospitalizations, all
amputations and all physical losses of an eye (not

Protecting Temporary Workers:
A joint responsibility
 Both host employers and staffing agencies have
roles in complying with workplace health and
safety requirements and they share responsibility
for ensuring worker safety and health.
 Legally, both the host employer and the staffing
agency are employers of the temporary worker.
Shared control over worker = Shared responsibility for worker

employees are hired by U.S. staffing firms
over the course of a year.

Temporary Worker Initiative
