BEST PRACTICES FOR PREVENTING FATALITIES, INJURIES, AND ILLNESESS
Virginia employees and employers have a strong history of maintaining fatality, injury, and illness rates below national averages. A total of 19 workplace fatalities have been investigated by the Virginia Occupational Safety and Health (VOSH) program through the end of July 2017.  In calendar year 2016, the 42 fatalities experienced were significant 35% increase in fatal accidents over 2015 and 2014 when 31 employees were killed on the job both years.  "For the second year in a row, there has been a surge in workplace fatalities in July.  Seven Virginia workers have lost their lives in workplace accidents versus eight in July 2016, devastating families, friends, co-workers and businesses,” said Commissioner Davenport.  "I strongly encourage Virginia’s employers and workers to become familiar with and comply with Virginia’s occupational safety and health laws and regulations.”

100. Virginia Department of Labor and Industry
Immediate steps that can be taken by employers and workers to avoid workplace injuries and illnesses include:
Conducting a safety and health "Stand Down" meeting and encourage discussion on recognizing and correcting hazards in the workplace. 
Educating employees about identifying safety and health hazards through Hazard Identification Training.
Establishing and implementing a Safety and Health Program for the work site with full employee involvement to assist with Hazard Prevention/Control.
Improving accident prevention through Hazard Analysis, encouraging employee reporting of hazards and near misses, and timely correction of hazards.
Increasing reporting of hazards and injuries in the workplace.  Many times minor injuries go unreported and more severe injuries result later on as a result of an uncorrected hazard in the workplace.
Increasing attention toward the safety of vulnerable workers such as temporary workers Temporary Worker Issues, or those who are not fluent in English Spanish Speaking Workforce.
