(5) Deaths and Injuries by Type of Accident
  The most common accident resulting in deaths and injuries in all industries was “a fall to lower level.” This was followed by “a fall on same level,” “caught in or compressed by equipment,” “cut or abrasion,” and “reaction or reckless move.” These five types of accident account for about 70% of all accidents.
  For all industries, “traffic accidents” and “falls to lower level” accounted for more than half of all deaths.
