A study of fatal work injuries in Texas involving farmworkers from 1991 through 1995 was conducted using information from the Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries program. A total of 78 work-related deaths involving farmworkers occurred in Texas over the five-year period of the study; this accounts for about one third of all the traumatic work-related deaths recorded in the state's agriculture industry over that period. A rate of 20 fatal occupational injuries per 100,000 workers was calculated for Texas farmworkers for the period of the study.
