Alaska had the highest occupational fatality rate of any state for the 1980s. The impact of these events is estimated by the index of years of potential life lost before age 65 (YPLL), which was developed to measure the potentially preventable mortality occurring early in life.
Lost future productivity (wages) and YPLL were calculated from surveillance statistics for all workers killed on the job during this 5-year period.
During 1990-1994, Alaska experienced 343 work-related deaths among civilians under age 65. YPLL was 9,690 years with an estimated lost future productivity of $367,000,000.
Premature death due to occupational traumatic injury in Alaska for 1990-1994 was extremely costly to society. Premature death not only adversely affects the deceased workers' family, friends, and coworkers, but also society economically. Effective intervention strategies are needed to significantly reduce both the number and the cost of fatal occupational trauma in Alaska.
在20世纪80年代，阿拉斯加的职业死亡率在所有州中最高。这些事件的影响通过65岁之前潜在寿命损失年数（YPLL）指数来估计，该指数旨在衡量生命早期发生的潜在可预防死亡率。
根据这5年期间所有在职死亡工人的监测统计数据，计算未来生产力损失（工资）和YPLL。
1990 - 1994年期间，阿拉斯加65岁以下平民中有343人死于工作相关事故。YPLL为9690年，预计未来生产力损失达3.67亿美元。
1990 - 1994年阿拉斯加因职业创伤导致的过早死亡给社会带来了极高的成本。过早死亡不仅对已故工人的家人、朋友和同事产生不利影响，在经济上也给社会带来损失。需要有效的干预策略来显著减少阿拉斯加致命职业创伤的数量和成本。
