2008 BLS stats
The Bureau of Labor and Statistics has released the official Injury and Illness statistics for the 2008 calendar year.

Table 23 is usually one of particular interest to me: this breaks down the data by causation, rather than industry. Not that the social demographics aren't interesting - but I can't control the demographics of my work place. The cause (fall, exposure, etc.) are what industrial hygienists are out to control.
Hopefully the fatality data will be later today.
