Wrote some code for a grad student study of accident demographics last year - what a bunch of maroons. The U.S. BLS has section for injuries & fatalities - data is not very recent, is coarse, but is easy to parse. U.S. OSHA has a several accident/fatality incident data listings on its various sites. Canada workers comp boards publish data - formatting sucks and is too coarse, and you will probably have to purchase a report. Typically, specific details of incident will be released only as result of tort or criminal proceedings. Otherwise a FOI may have to be filed.
Across the pond, the Irish electro-tech council has a somewhat decent database. There are probably many other EU databases. Perhaps a well-connected individual in the IEEE could help. And add to the industrial injury data that I cut my finger on the milling machine this morning.

Fellow listers, I am looking for statistical data on workplace injuries attributed to failure of the safety related parts of the control system. I want to use the data as source material for a paper I am working on for the 2012 SIAS conference in Montréal this coming October. Any help will be recognized in the paper (and here too!) of course! -- Doug Nix [email protected] - ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message is from the IEEE Product Safety Engineering Society emc-pstc discussion list.
