Google and if you go to http://www.easypower.com there is information. Most of the major vendors/manufacturer's of PPE, software and other equipment associated with arc flash hazard analysis and protection will have information on their websites

Far from every arc flash injury or even death are reported in the news.
Here in the province of Québec, there are about a hundred deaths while on the job per year (the local occupational safety commission says one every 4 days). I'm not talking about lung cancer or such, only accidents causing the death of a worker. Not all of them are reported in the news, even the local weekly newspaper. There are maybe 2 per months which are reported in the news. So if you add on top of that all the injuries which do not result in death, the hidden number can be quite high.
For occupational safety statistics, you must trust your state's or provincial occupational safety commission. Not all of them report the same kind of stats: some will sort them by injury, others by original cause. So a broken leg caused by a fall of 25' which itself was caused by an electrical shock while replacing a live ballast could be filed in different places depending on the local commission (broken leg, or fall, or electrical shock).
Ontario's ESA has a pretty good annual report about electrical accidents (not only those on the job). Québec's CSST does not. I don't know for other provinces/states.
