I just did a search on the ntsb website.

In the last 10 years there have been zero fatal accidents involving Embraer Jet aircraft. There have been 6 fatal incidents with Embraer aircraft, 5 on emb-120's a one involving an emb-110.
However, none in the last 3 1/2 years.

One of the incidents involved CO-Express, but that was almost 9 years ago. And CO is a very different company. If you want the details on this incident, check out http://www.ntsb.gov/Aviation/DCA/91A052.htm

Keep in mind, the incident is from Sept 1991.

All in all, it seems Embraer has an excellent safety record.

As a comparison, the extremely safe Boeing 737 has had 15 fatal incidents since 1/1/90.
Most outside of the US, in fact the last fatal incident in the US with a 737 was a US Air 737 in Sept 1994(almost 6 years ago).
