According to National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health s NIOSH National Traumatic Occupational Fatality NTOF data from 1980 to 1998 occupational injury from machinery was ranked third after motor vehicle and homicide as causes of death. Fatalities from machine-related incidents accounted for approximately 13 of the total. The service industry did not rank among the highest sectors having machine-related incidents.
