Introduction

Workplace Safety Statistics: Do you think your workplace is dangerous? If you work in high-risk areas like law enforcement, emergency services, or agriculture, you might. But accidents can happen in any job, from offices to construction sites. Falls cause injuries to millions of workers each year, whether they’re in retail, admin, or on a construction site. Workplace accidents are a problem for everyone.

They lead to medical and insurance costs, lost productivity, and lost wages. Plus, they can lower morale and engagement among employees. To tackle these issues, it’s important to understand Workplace Safety Statistics. Let’s look at some interesting numbers.

In 2022, falls from the same level accounted for around 18 percent of the total cost of disabling workforce injuries in the United States. The direct costs for this type of injury stood at some 10.52 billion U.S. dollars that year. This statistic displays the top 10 causes of the most disabling U.S. workplace injuries in terms of costs in 2022.

The numbers reflect incidents that were reported to and tracked by the Ministry of Labour. They exclude death from natural causes, death of non- workers at a workplace, suicides, death as a result of a criminal act or traffic accident (unless the OHSA is also implicated) and death from occupational exposures that occurred in the past. Data from the Ministry of Labour reflects Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) and Employment Standards (ES) information at a point in time and/or for specific reporting purposes. As a result, the information above may not align with other data sources. Notes on critical injuries : For the purposes of the data provided, a critical injury of a serious nature includes injuries that: 1. "Place life in jeopardy" 2. "Produce unconsciousness" 3. "Result in substantial loss of blood" 4. "Involve the fracture of a leg or arm but not a finger or toe" 5. "Involve the amputation of a leg, arm, hand or foot but not a finger or toe" 6. "Consist of burns to a major portion of the body" 7. "Cause the loss of sight Only critical injury events reported to the ministry are included here. This represents data that was reported to the ministry and may not represent what actually occurred at the workplace. The critical injury numbers represent critical injuries reported to the ministry and not necessarily critical injuries as defined by the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA). Non- workers who are critically injured may also be included in the ministry's data. Critical injuries data is presented by calendar year to be consistent with Workplace Safety and Insurance Board harmonized data; Data is reported based on calendar year Individual data for the Health Care program is available for Jan. 1 to Mar. 31, 2011 only. From April 2011 onwards Health Care data is included in the Industrial Health and Safety numbers. Notes on Fatalities : Only events reported to the ministry are included here. The ministry tracks and reports fatalities at workplaces covered by the OHSA. This excludes death from natural causes, death of non-workers at a workplace, suicides, death as a result of a criminal act or traffic accident (unless the OHSA is also implicated) and death from occupational exposures that occurred many years ago. Fatalities data is presented by calendar year to be consistent with Workplace Safety and Insurance Board harmonized data. Fatality data is reported by year of event. *[OHSA]: Occupational Health and Safety Act *[Mar.]: March *[Jan.]: January

In the United States, there were far more occupational injury deaths among men than women. In 2023, there were ***** male occupational injury deaths in the United States, compared to *** deaths among women.

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 2023, the Workplace Safety Market reached a value of USD 15.03 billion, and it is projected to surge to USD 35.72 billion by 2030.

In 2023, about 2.4 per 100 workers in the United States had a nonfatal occupational injury or illness. This statistic shows the nonfatal occupational injuries and illnesses incident rate in the United States from 2003 to 2023.

Introduction

Workplace Injury Statistics: Businesses in different fields are constantly worried about workplace injuries. They greatly affect productivity, morale, and general business operations since they come with huge costs, including human life loss and other financial costs. In 2023, approximately 2.8 million cases of workplace injuries were reported in the United States.

This is an increase of about 2% from 2022, indicating continued struggles with upholding security at places of work. The construction and manufacturing industries were among those hit hardest by this calamity, making up nearly 45% of all reported injuries. These could be caused by machines or even human beings, resulting in nasty accidents that might lead to death. The most commonly reported injuries include burns, overexertion, or falls. These are considered unexpected events that cannot be avoided at times. Therefore, measures should be put in place to prevent such unfortunate occurrences.

This is especially worrying because these sectors contribute significantly to the economy and have millions of workers employed there. An elaborate analysis of workplace injury statistics from 2023 and 2024 is presented in this article, and clear data suitable for market research professionals is provided.

Massachusetts Occupational Safety and Health Statistics Dataset

  Dataset Description

This dataset contains workplace safety information extracted from the Massachusetts Occupational Safety and Health Statistics Program between 2017 and 2022, including injuries by industry, occupation, and demographic data. It provides structured, machine-readable data converted from PDF reports that offer insights into workplace safety trends across Massachusetts.

  Overview

The… See the full description on the dataset page: https://huggingface.co/datasets/evijit/MA_Occupational_Safety_Reports.

This dataset contains non-fatal injury and illness data by industry from US Bureau of Labor Statistics for 2016. The industries are classified according to the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS).

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. Data collected through the annual survey are based on records which employers maintain under the Occupational Safety and Health Act. Data include all cases resulting from accidents or exposure in the work environment that result in a nonfatal illness or injury. Some of these cases involve lost work time-- the incident may result in a work absence, restriction of work or motion, or transfer to another job. Other recordable cases do not involve any lost days. Recordkeeping guidelines are maintained by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.

The numbers reflect incidents that were reported to and tracked by the Ministry of Labour. They exclude death from natural causes, death of non- workers at a workplace, suicides, death as a result of a criminal act or traffic accident (unless the OHSA is also implicated) and death from occupational exposures that occurred in the past.

Occupational Injury Statistics Online Reporting System - Foot Injury Loss Day Conversion Chart Data (Updated if there are any adjustments to the conversion of foot injury loss days)

In 2021, there were 1,140 occupational injury deaths among full-time equivalent workers between the ages of 55 and 64 years old in the United States - the most out of any age group. In that same year, there were seven occupational injury deaths among workers under the age of 16.

Here you will find an open data set with the Labour Inspection Authority’s statistics on occupational injury deaths per year for the last five-year period. The Working Environment Act & 5-2 requires employers to notify the Labour Inspection Authority of serious work-related personal injuries to their own employees. Occupational injury death means a work injury that causes the injured employee to die within one year of the accident. The Labour Inspection Authority provides statistics on occupational injury deaths occurring within the Labour Inspection Authority’s administrative area that is limited to the land-based labour market in Norway. Occupational injury deaths in aviation, shipping, fishing and capture, petroleum activities on the Norwegian continental shelf and the construction and operation of land-based petroleum facilities are followed up by other supervisory authorities. Occupational injury deaths in these industries are therefore not included in these statistics. Occupational injury deaths in military occupations are included, with the exception of deaths in war situations. For more information about the data set read here. The open data set consists of: Year (Ar), County name (Pylke), Number of occupational injury deaths (Number)

The Automated Safety Incident Surveillance and Tracking System (ASISTS) is a repository of Veterans Health Administration (VHA) employee accident data. Many types of accidents are captured, but the primary focus of the ASISTS database is to track and to report on employee exposures to blood borne pathogens through needlesticks, sharps and body fluids. Accident data is captured locally at medical centers using the Veterans Health Information Systems and Technology Architecture (VistA) ASISTS package. Federal Employee Compensation claims are transmitted electronically in order to provide efficient and timely submission to the Department of Labor, Office of Workers' Compensation Programs; and to ensure that the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's (OSHA) Log of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses is maintained. On a daily basis the Federal Employee Compensation claims are transmitted by Electronic Data Interchange extraction. A weekly download of the accident reports are sent to the national database using MailMan messages. On a monthly basis, extracts are sent to the ASISTS central repository located at the Austin Information Technology Center. The VHA Support Service Center (VSSC) provides multiple customized reports on the VSSC Web portal available on the VA Intranet. The primary users of ASISTS include OSHA, VA Headquarters, the VISN Directors, and occupational safety and health professionals located at each VA medical facility.

This report provides figures for adverse work-related health outcomes occurring for health and safety reasons recorded on the Ministry of Defence Incident Recording and Information System (IRIS), for Armed Forces personnel and civilian MOD employees. The figures cover fatalities and various categories of injuries and illnesses.
