The figures have come down since 2007. For the US in 2017 it was 5147 while for the UK it is down to about 0.5 for the same year (147 total for 2018/19 but a fairly flat graph since 2013/14). However looking at the causes of death show that these deaths, in the UK at least, are generally not related to engineering professionalism (falling from heights - 40, struck by moving vehicle - 30, etc. with falls also coming out top in the US) so I wouldn't want to use this as a basis for the comparison suggested by Mike.
