Occupational Fatality Inspection Review

FFY 2023 and Forward:

The OFIR Report is compiled based on the event date by federal fiscal year (October 1 - September 30). The report lists only those workplace fatalities that were determined to be work-related per 29 CFR 1904.5 AND have been or are being inspected by the OSH Division. The report lists fatality inspections by the OSH field offices to which they are assigned; Asheville, Charlotte, Raleigh, Wilmington or Winston-Salem. Workplace fatalities that have not been inspected by OSH (e.g., some heart attacks, vehicular fatalities) are not included in this report, nor are workplace fatalities where the victim did not fall under the jurisdiction of the OSH Act of North Carolina (e.g., sole owners as they are not employees of an employer).
