The preliminary 2011 total released Thursday is 54.7 percent

Nationwide, there were 4,609 workplace fatalities in 2011,

Eighteen West Virginia
workers suffered fatal injuries in highway incidents. Eleven workers died after
they were struck by an object or equipment.
Other causes included falls and exposure to harmful
substances or environments.
All the victims were white, non-Hispanic men. Sixty-three
percent of the victims, or 27, were between the ages of 25 to 54, the prime
working group.
