Wyoming Occupational Fatalities Decrease to 37 in 2024

News Release | Tables and Figures | CFOI Main Page

The number of occupational fatalities in Wyoming decreased from 45 in 2023 to 37 in 2024 (a decrease of 8 deaths, or 17.8%). Variations in fatalities from year to year are, to some extent, the result of the random nature of work-related accidents. Furthermore, there is not always a direct relationship between workplace fatalities and workplace safety. For example, suicides and homicides that occur in the workplace are included as occupational fatalities. Workplace fatalities are counted in the state where the injury occurred, not necessarily the state of residence or the state of death.

Across all industries, more than half of 2024 workplace deaths (51.4%) were the result of transportation incidents. Transportation incidents include highway crashes, pedestrian vehicular incidents, aircraft incidents, and water vehicle incidents.
