PressOffice@bls.gov EMPLOYER-REPORTED WORKPLACE INJURIES AND ILLNESSES - 2015 There were approximately 2.9 million nonfatal workplace injuries and illnesses reported by private industry employers in 2015, which occurred at a rate of 3.0 cases per 100 equivalent full-time workers, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. (See tables 1 and 2.) The 2015 rate continues a pattern of declines that, apart from 2012, occurred annually for the last 13 years. (See chart 1.)

Private industry employers reported nearly 48,000 fewer nonfatal injury and illness cases in 2015 compared to a year earlier, according to estimates from the Survey of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses (SOII). Because of this decline, combined with an increase in reported hours worked, the total recordable cases (TRC) incidence rate fell 0.2 cases per 100 full-time workers. The fall in the TRC rate was driven by a decline in the rate of cases involving days away from work (DAFW) and other recordable cases (ORC)each falling 0.1 casesas the rate for cases of job transfer or restriction only (DJTR) has remained at 0.7 cases since 2011.

Private Industry Six of the 19 private industry sectors reported a decline in the rate of injuries and illnesses in 2015:

mining, quarrying, and oil and gas extraction; manufacturing; transportation and warehousing; finance and insurance; health care and social assistance; and accommodation and food services. Manufacturing continued an 18-year trend as the only private industry sector in which the rate of DJTR cases exceeded the rate of DAFW cases. The rates for these two case types were unchanged from a year earlier at 1.2 cases and 1.0 case per 100 full-time workers, respectively. Wholesale trade was the only sector with an increase in the rate of injuries and illnesses in 2015, rising from 2.9 cases in 2014 to 3.1 cases in 2015.

2 Injuries and illnesses by type of case Over half of the approximately 2.9 million private industry injury and illness cases reported in 2015 involved days away from work, job transfer, or restriction (DART). These cases occurred at a rate of 1.6 cases per 100 full-time workers. (See table 7.) The rates for the two components of DART cases DAFW cases and DJTR caseswere 0.9 cases and 0.7 cases per 100 workers, respectively. Other recordable casesthose not involving days away from work or days of job transfer or restriction accounted for the approximately 1.3 million remaining injury and illness cases in 2015, lowering the prior year rate by 0.1 cases to 1.4 cases per 100 full-time workers.

The rate of injuries and illnesses remained highest among mid-size private industry establishments (employing 50 to 249 workers) and lowest among small establishments (employing fewer than 11 workers). (See chart 2 and table 3.)

Injuries Of the approximately 2.9 million nonfatal occupational injuries and illnesses reported by private industry employers in 2015, nearly 2.8 million (95.2 percent) were injuries. (See table 5.) Among injuries, nearly 2.1 million (75.0 percent) occurred in service-providing industries, which employed 82.5 percent of the private industry workforce. The remaining nearly 0.7 million injuries (25.0 percent) occurred in goods-producing industries, which accounted for 17.5 percent of private industry employment.

Illnesses Workplace illnesses accounted for 4.8 percent of the approximately 2.9 million injury and illness cases reported by private industry employers in 2015 and occurred at a rate of 14.6 cases per 10,000 full-time workers. (See tables 6a and 6b.) Rates among the individual illness categories were relatively unchanged compared to a year earlier.

3 Service-providing industries accounted for 64.7 percent of private industry illness cases and had a rate of 12.0 cases per 10,000 full-time workers in 2015. Goods-producing industries accounted for 35.4 percent of all occupational illness cases in 2015, resulting in an incidence rate of 24.6 cases per 10,000 full-time workersdown from the previous year. (Note: Long-term latent illnesses are believed to be understated in SOII estimates. See discussion regarding reporting of illnesses in section on Completeness of SOII Estimates.)

Public Sector An estimated 752,600 injury and illness cases were reported in 2015 among the approximately 18.4 million state and local government workersfor example, elementary and secondary schools, hospitals, and police or fire protectionresulting in a rate of 5.1 cases per 100 full-time workers. The rate among these workers was relatively unchanged from a year earlier (5.0 cases) but was higher than the rate among private industry workers (3.0 cases) in 2015. Approximately 4 in 5 injuries and illnesses reported in the public sector occurred among local government workers in 2015, resulting in an injury and illness rate of 5.6 cases per 100 full-time workershigher than the 3.7 cases per 100 full-time workers in state government. The incident rate of injuries and illnesses among state government workers declined significantly from 2014 (4.1 cases), while the rate among local government workers was statistically unchanged from a year earlier. (See chart 3.)

State Estimates Private industry and public sector estimates are available for 41 participating states, 3 U.S. territories, and for the District of Columbia for 2015. (See chart 4.) Data for establishments in the nine states for which individual estimates are unavailable are collected by Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) regional offices and used solely for the tabulation of national estimates. Detailed state-level estimates will be Chart 3.

Among individual states for which estimates are available for 2015, the private industry TRC rate declined in 9 states and was relatively unchanged in 32 states and in the District of Columbia, compared to a year earlier. The private industry TRC injury and illness incidence rate was higher in 21 states than the national rate of 3.0 cases per 100 full-time workers, lower than the national rate in 12 states and in the District of Columbia, and about the same as the national rate in 8 states. Factors such as differences in the composition of industry employment may influence state incidence rates and should be considered whenever comparing rates among different states.

Publication Tables and Supplemental Charts BLS has generated estimates of injuries and illnesses for many of the 2-, 3-, 4-, 5-, and 6-digit industries as defined in the 2012 North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) manual. A complete listing of these estimates is not available in this release. However, summary tables 1 and 2 provide incidence rates and counts by detailed industry (NAICS), case type, and ownership and can be accessed at www.bls.gov/iif/oshsum.htm, requested from BLS staff at (202) 691-6170, or requested by email at IIFSTAFF@bls.gov. Supplemental tables and charts illustrating trends among incidence rates and counts are also available from these sources.

5 Background of the Survey This news release is the first in a series of three releases from BLS covering occupational safety and health statistics for the 2015 calendar year. The SOII presents estimates of counts and incidence rates of employer-reported nonfatal workplace injuries and illnesses by industry and type of case.

A second release in November will provide estimates from the SOII for case circumstances and worker characteristics for nonfatal injury and illness cases requiring at least one day away from work to recuperate.

A third release in December will provide data from the Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries (CFOI) of all fatal work injuries occurring in the U.S. during the calendar year. The CFOI uses diverse state, federal, and independent data sources to identify, verify, and describe fatal work injuries to ensure that counts are as complete and accurate as possible.

All statements of comparison made in this news release were found to be statistically significant at the 95 percent confidence level. Additional background and methodological information regarding the BLS occupational safety and health statistics program can be found in Chapter 9 of the BLS Handbook of Methods at www.bls.gov/opub/hom/pdf/homch9.pdf. Employment data cited in this news release are 2015 annual averages from the BLS Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW) program.

For additional data, access the BLS website at www.bls.gov/iif/.

Completeness of SOII Estimates BLS has long acknowledged that some conditions that are difficult for employers to relate to the workplace are not adequately recognized and reported during a calendar year (for example, long-term latent illnesses) and are believed to be understated in SOII illness measures. Following several studies in the mid-2000s questioning the completeness of SOII injury and illness counts, BLS began internal research in 2007 and, at the request of Congress, established an ongoing research program.

Initial research conducted between 2009 and 2012 found that the SOII failed to capture some cases but could not determine the magnitude or leading cause of an undercount. Researchers determined that the ability to match injury and illness data across different data sources was impacted by various factors, such as establishment type, the time of case filing, and the type of injury.

BLS initiated additional research from 2012 to 2014 that included interviews with employers in four states to learn more about their injury and illness recordkeeping practices. Following the four state study, BLS conducted a nationwide follow-back survey with SOII respondents in 2015 and 2016.

Analysis of the results of this study will help BLS learn more about recordkeeping practices and timing issues that may negatively affect employer injury and illness reporting to the SOII. BLS also continues to conduct exploratory research on the collection of occupational injury and illness data directly from employees and will pilot test collection of these data beginning in 2017. For more information on undercount research, please see www.bls.gov/iif/undercount.htm.

=

number of injuries and illnesses EH

=

total hours worked by all employees during the calendar year 200,000

=

base for 100 equivalent full-time workers (working 40 hours4.62963e-4 days 0.0111 hours 6.613757e-5 weeks 1.522e-5 months per week, 50 weeks per year) 2 Estimates for 2014 represent a break in series as a result of the incorporation of the 2012 North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). Comparison of estimates for 2014 and prior years is not advised below the sector level due to changes in industry classifications.

3 Days-away-from-work cases include those that result in days away from work with or without job transfer or restriction.

4 Excludes farms with fewer than 11 employees.

5 Data for Mining (Sector 21 in the North American Industry Classification System United States, 2012) include establishments not governed by the Mine Safety and Health Administration rules and reporting, such as those in Oil and Gas Extraction and related support activities. Data for mining operators in coal, metal, and nonmetal mining are provided to BLS by the Mine Safety and Health Administration, U.S.

Department of Labor. Independent mining contractors are excluded from the coal, metal, and nonmetal mining industries. These data do not reflect the changes the Occupational Safety and Health Administration made to its recordkeeping requirements effective January 1, 2002; therefore, estimates for these industries are not comparable to estimates in other industries.

6 Data for employers in railroad transportation are provided to BLS by the Federal Railroad Administration, U.S. Department of Transportation.

NOTE: Because of rounding, components may not add to totals.
