City of Tulsa officials report that there have been no work-related fatalities for City of Tulsa employees in over 11 years. It has been 13 years since the last death of a sworn public safety officer in the line of duty. According to an e-mail from Jeff Wilkie, head of the City of Tulsa's Human Resources Department: [Safety manager] Pam Marrs has shared that we have not had any fatalities in the last 10 years. Our last one occurred in February 1998. Employee was Warren Myers (FF) who suffered a heart attack while turning a natural gas meter on/off. Prior to that it was June 1996 Police Officer Dick Hobson who was shot in the line of duty (not wearing bullet proof vest).Wilkie also provided a report showing the number of work-related injuries for each City of Tulsa department for the first six months of Fiscal Year 2008-09 (July through December 2008), compared with the three previous fiscal years and the goal for this year (90% of the three-year average).
