Department of Labor: Workplace Safety & Health
Portal to the U.S. Department of Labor's agencies and units with responsibility for workplace health and safety.
NIOSH, part of the Centers for Disease Control, was created by the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 to develop and enforce workplace safety and health regulations. Its Fatalities in the Oil and Gas Extraction Industry (FOG) topics page includes reports from FOG, a national database that collects detailed information (minus personal identifiable information) about oil and gas extraction fatalities in the U.S. The Fatality Assessement and Control Evaluation (FACE) Program topic page provides access to NIOSH and FACE fatality investigation reports and other safety resources.
Preliminary to OSHA investigations are the Fatality/Incident Summaries, “summaries of fatalities and catastrophes resulting in the hospitalization of three or more workers,” which employers are required to report within eight hours of the incident. OSHA's Establishment Specific Injury & Illness database allows searches for industry and employment size from 1996-2011. OSHA Fatal Facts "describe cases that are representative of employers who failed to identify and correct hazardous working conditions leading to fatalities at their worksites. The documents offer ideas on how to correct these hazards and educate workers about safe work practices."
