## Resource

Grounds maintenance workers are facing a deadly rise—fatal injury rates jumped from 13 to over 20 per 100,000 workers between 2014 and 2024, pushing them into the top ten most dangerous jobs. While national workplace deaths are falling, this sector is bucking the trend, with transportation accidents—the leading cause of death across industries like trucking, fishing, and waste collection—driving the spike. Alarmingly, older workers (65+) are increasingly at risk. As we celebrate overall safety gains, these numbers reveal where the real dangers are growing—and why targeted action is urgently needed.
