Deaths resulting from work-related injuries during a one-year period in Maryland were identified and reviewed. Of 148 workers killed, all but two were male. Transportation vehicles were involved in 41% of the deaths, with road vehicles accounting for 25% of the total. Other major groups involved nonroad land vehicles (16%) and firearms, primarily handguns (11%). Two thirds of the workers died at the scene or were dead on arrival at the hospital. Head injuries were the most common cause of death. Eleven percent of the workers tested had blood alcohol concentrations of 0.08% by weight or greater. The majority of the deaths involved either hazards that are not addressed by the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 or workers in categories that are excluded by law from regulation under this act.
对马里兰州一年内与工作相关的工伤死亡案例进行了识别和审查。在148名死亡工人中，除两人外均为男性。41%的死亡事故涉及运输车辆，其中道路车辆占总数的25%。其他主要类别包括非道路陆地车辆（16%）和枪支，主要是手枪（11%）。三分之二的工人在现场死亡或在抵达医院时已死亡。头部受伤是最常见的死亡原因。接受检测的工人中有11%的血液酒精浓度按重量计达到或超过0.08%。大多数死亡事故涉及的危险并非1970年《职业安全与健康法》所涵盖，或者涉及该法案依法排除监管的工人类别。
