In that same year there were 4.3 million total workplace injuries and illnesses, of which 1.3 million resulted in days away from work. Occupational illnesses, injuries, and fatalities in 2004 cost the United States economy USD142.2 billion according to the National Safety Council estimates. The average cost per occupational fatality in 2004 exceeded USD1 million. To cover the costs to employers from workplace injuries, each and every employee in this country would have had to generate USD1,010 in revenue in 2004.
