The Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries, also referred to as the CFOI program, is a federal/state cooperative venture by all 50 states and the District of Columbia in partnership with the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics. The program provides the most complete count of fatal work-related injuries available, through the use of diverse state and federal sources to identify, verify, and profile fatal work injuries. CFOI work-related fatalities include all work-related fatalities in Alaska, not just those covered by the Alaska Workers' Compensation Law.
Since the early 1970s, Alaska has conducted the annual Survey of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses (SOII) in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). A statistical sample of Alaska’s private firms, as well as state and local government agencies, are selected each year to participate in the survey. Not included in the survey are the self-employed, farms with fewer than 11 employees, private households, and federal agencies.
