  1. Notes: Fatality rates are per 100,000 workers. The sample includes only individuals aged 16 and older who are employed in the private or public sector, except for military personnel, and not self-employed. Regressions also include a constant term. Observations are weighted using the individual weights in the EPA. Standard errors are clustered on industry or occupation. Standard errors in parentheses.* significant at 10% ** significant at 5%; *** significant at 1% in one-tailed or two-tailed tests.
