Occupational health indicators (OHI)
Each year, on average, 112 work-related deaths occur in Colorado, or approximately one work-related fatality every three to four days. Every year thousands of other people are injured on the job or become ill from work-related exposures.
The individuals and families affected by occupational injury may bear substantial human and financial burdens from loss of income, independence and sometimes life. Work-related injuries, illnesses and fatalities are preventable with adequate safety and health policies and procedures.
