For the years 2003 to 2010, the industry sectors with the largest number of deaths were agriculture/forestry/fishing (2,063 deaths or 37% of all 5,579 machine-related deaths during this 8-year period), construction (1,204 or 22%), manufacturing (776 or 14%), and services (725 or 13%) (Table II). Industry sectors with the highest machine-related average annual occupational fatality rates per 100,000 FTE were agriculture/forestry/fishing (10.8), mining (3.5), and construction (1.4) (Table II). Although each of these three sectors had average annual machine-related fatality rates that were much higher than the overall 8-year period annual average rate of 0.5 per 100,000 FTE, the fatality rates generally declined in all industry sectors from 2003 through 2010 (Fig. 5). The average annual percentage decrease in trends by industry sector was only significant for construction (5.5%; 95%CI: 3.7%, 7.2%), manufacturing (6.6%; 95%CI: 1.6%, 11.3%), and mining (12.3%; 95%CI: 4.3%, 19.5%).
