Dr. Tiffani Fordyce, Ms. Megan Leonhard, Dr. Heather Watson, and Dr. Gabor Mezei recently published, "An Analysis of Fatal and Non-fatal Injuries and Injury Severity Factors Among Electric Power Industry Workers." The article was published in the American Journal of Industrial Medicine.

The electric power industry represents a unique subset of the U.S. workforce. The authors aimed to evaluate the relationships between occupational category, nature of injury, and injury severity among electric power industry workers. The Occupational Health and Safety Database (1995 — 2013) was used to calculate injury rates, assess patterns of injury severity, and identify at-risk occupations in this population.
