The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries (CFOI) produces comprehensive, accurate, and timely counts of fatal work injuries. CFOI is a Federal-State cooperative program that has been implemented in all 50 States and the District of Columbia since 1992. To compile counts that are as complete as possible, the census uses multiple sources to identify, verify, and profile fatal worker injuries. Information about each workplace fatal injury—occupation and other worker characteristics, equipment involved, and circumstances of the event—is obtained by cross-referencing the source records, such as death certificates, workers' compensation reports, and Federal and State agency administrative reports. To ensure that fatal injuries are work-related, cases are substantiated with two or more independent source documents, or a source document and a follow-up questionnaire. Data compiled by the CFOI program are issued annually for the preceding calendar year. More information and details about the data provided can be found at https://www.bls.gov/iif/oshfat1.htm

Employer-reported workplace injuries and illnesses, between 1994 and 2017.

The Survey of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses (SOII) is a Federal/State cooperative program that publishes estimates on nonfatal occupational injuries and illnesses. Each year, approximately 200,000 employers report for establishments in private industry and the public sector (state and local government). In-scope cases include work-related injuries or illnesses to workers who require medical care beyond first aid. See the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) for the entire recordkeeping guidelines. The SOII excludes all work–related fatalities as well as nonfatal work injuries and illnesses to the self–employed; to workers on farms with 10 or fewer employees; to private household workers; to volunteers; and to federal government workers. More information and details about the data provided can be found at https://www.bls.gov/iif/soii-overview.htm

In 2022, the median days away from work after a nonfatal work injury or illness in the construction industry stood at 12 days. The information industry had the highest number of median days away from work, at 17 days.

Occupational injury and illness counts and incidence rates are annual measures of the level and frequency of work-related injuries and illnesses. The rate equals the form of the number of injuries and illnesses per 100 full-time employees.

This statistic shows preliminary data for the top 10 occupations by fatal work injury deaths per 100,000 full-time equivalent workers in the U.S. in 2019. In 2019, the highest occupational injury death rate was to be found among fishers and related fishing workers with a rate of 145 deaths per 100,000 workers.

--- Dataset description provided by original source is as follows ---

The Lost Time Incident Rate (LTIR) measures how well the City is doing to keep the overall incident (injuries and illnesses) rate down. Being above the target rate would demonstrate that the City is having more lost time incidents than projected. Rates below would indicate that the City did a better job at reducing these types of incidents.

This metric is also used to compare the City’s safety performance against a national average. Incident rates are used identify trends and areas of focus for safety improvement. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics provides the annual incident rates for industries to use for comparison. The equation is as follows:

Incident Rate = (# of Injuries X 200,000)/(Actual Hours Worked)

The 200,000 factor is used to standardize the rate based on 100 employees working 40 hours a week for 50 weeks a year.

Abstract

The Bureau of Labor and Employment Statistics conducted the BLES Integrated Survey (BITS) in 2003. The BITS is a nationwide survey of non-agricultural establishments employing 20 or more workers that inquires on the key data elements of four of the Bureau's regular surveys --- Employment, Hours and Earnings Survey (EHES), Industrial Relations at the Workplace Survey (IRWS), Occupational Injuries Survey (OIS) and Labor Cost Survey (LCS).

The BITS aims to generate an integrated data set on employment, wages, hours of work, labor relations, occupational injuries and labor cost of employees. It is also a vehicle to collect some of the data that would measure decent work.

Sampling procedure

Statistical Unit: The establishment is the statistical or enumeration unit. Each unit is classified in an industry that reflects its main economic activity---the activity that contributes the biggest or major portion of the gross income or revenues of the establishment.

Sampling Frame: The 2003 BLES Survey Sampling Frame is a list frame of establishments that is a partial update of the 2002 BLES Sampling Frame based on the status of establishments reported in BLES conducted surveys in the National Capital Region in 2002. Reports on closures and retrenchments of establishments submitted to the Regional Offices of the Department of Labor and Employment in 2002 up to February 2003 were also considered in updating the 2002 frame. The 2002 BLES sampling frame was largely culled from the 2000 List of Establishments of the National Statistics Office that was also partially updated based on the establishment status in BLES conducted surveys in 2001. Similarly, previous sampling frames were partial updates of the 1996 List of Establishments of the NSO based on responses to the BLES surveys conducted since 1997.

Stratification Scheme: Establishments in the sampling frame were stratified by 3-digit industry (domain) and by employment size (stratum), i.e. 20-99, 100-199 and 200 and over. However, industries observed to be heterogeneous within their 3-digit classification were further broken down at the 4-digit level. Geographical location was not considered in the stratification to allow for detailed industry groupings.

Sample Size: For 2002/2003 BLES Integrated Survey, the sample size was 6,818.

Note: Refer to Field Operations Manual, Chapter 1.5.

Sampling deviation

Due to the inadequacy of the frame used, reports of permanent closures, duplicate listing and shifts in industry and employment outside the survey coverage are expected during field operations. Establishments that fall in these categories are not eligible elements of the population and their count is not considered in the estimation. In addition to non-response of establishments because of refusals, strikes or temporary closures, there are establishments whose questionnaires contain inconsistent item responses that are not included in the processing as these have not replied to the verification queries by the time output table generation commences. Such establishments are also considered as non-respondents. Respondents are post-stratified as to geographic, industry and employment size classifications. Non-respondents are retained in their classifications.

Abstract

Initiated in 2003, the BITS is a modular survey that integrates the data requirements on employment, industrial relations, occupational injuries and diseases and labor cost that used to be collected by the BLES through independent surveys such as Survey on Specific Groups of Workers (SSGW), Employment, Hours and Earnings Survey (EHES), Industrial Relations at the Workplace Survey (IRWS), Occupational Injuries Survey (OIS) and Labor Cost Survey (LCS). Each round of the BITS covers different aspects of employment and establishment practices. The inquiry on occupational injuries and diseases is a regular feature while that on labor cost is undertaken on a less frequent basis.

The main objective of this survey is to generate an integrated data set on employment of specific groups of workers, occupational shortages and surpluses, safety and health practices, occupational injuries and diseases and labor cost of employees. These data are inputs to studies on industry trends and practices and serve as bases for the formulation of policies on employment, conditions of work and industrial relations. To some extent, the survey results will also be used to assess the progress of decent work in the country.

Instances of injuries at workplaces

Workplace injuries are the injuries that develop as a result of an employee's job. In most cases, a workplace accident happens because the workplace is unsafe, the premises are toxic, the equipment is malfunctioning, or the environment is polluted with hazardous substances. Furthermore, employment requiring repeated or demanding motions (e.g., industrial labour or heavy lifting) can result in damage.

Workplace injuries occur in a variety of settings. Work-related injuries are common, particularly in construction and mining. Falling from a higher level, being hit in the head by a steel beam as it is hauled across a jobsite, or being hit by a vehicle transporting supplies are all instances of worksite injuries in the construction business. These traumatic brain injuries are both lethal and nonfatal (TBIs).

According to the Employer-Related Workplace Injuries and Illnesses News Release from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2.8 out of every 100 workers were hurt at work in November 2020. Similarly, in 2020/21, 35 employees were killed by falls from great heights, and 17 were killed by being struck by moving, flying, or falling items across all industries.

According to the report, in 2016-17, there were 348,453 hospital admissions in the United Kingdom for brain injury. This equates to 531 admissions per 100,000 people. In 2019, 1,270 workers in the United States were killed in work-related vehicle accidents (24 percent of all deaths). In 2020, 805 employees died in falls, and 211,640 were seriously wounded, necessitating time off from work.

Similarly, the most prevalent causes of accidents in coal mining include firedamp and dust explosions, landslides, mine fires, and transport and mechanization technical failures.

According to 2018 safety statistics from the International Council on Mining and Metals (ICMM), nine fatalities (18%) were caused by ground fall in underground mines. These unintentional injuries can occur at any time. As a result, planning ahead of time for incidents becomes essential.

As a result, several firms supply workers with a helmet or hat. Safety helmets, also known as hard hats, are meant to protect the head.

With the increased use of these head protection solutions, there has been a drop in work-related deaths. Hence, instances of injuries at workplaces drives the growth of the industrial head protection market.

What is Industrial Head Protection?

Head protection is a sort of personal protective equipment that is intended to protect the scalp and, in certain cases, the jaw. Workers are protected with industrial head protection equipment.

When operating in a location where an object might fall and impact the worker's head, or when there is a high electrical shock exposure to the worker's head, head protection is essential. It secures the user against potential repercussions like as brain damage or skull fractures by protecting against mechanical strikes to the head.

The product comes in a variety of specs, patterns, and colors. Many colors of the helmet represent the diverse uses of the safety equipment in various applications. Furthermore, the colour represents distinct designations in various organizations.

These items are frequently offered as safety helmets, hard hats, and bump caps. It is widely utilized in a variety of industries, including construction, oil and gas, mining, food, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and transportation.

Currently, there are countless work-related accidents occurring across the world, necessitating the use of suitable head protection. The requirement for industrial head protection is increasing as industrialization progresses.
