Abstract
It was the objective of this study to determine the common denominators involved with the work-related fatalities and their strengths.
An analysis using the X2 statistic was conducted on all the work related fatalities reported to the Utah Industrial Commission during the period January 1, 1976, through December 31, 1978.
It was determined that Age and Time on the Job were the two areas with the greatest significance difference as common denominators. It was concluded that there was a need for training programs to offset the effects of both age and time on the job.
