Preface The William-Steiger Occupational Safety and Health A ct o f 1970 effected a new system o f recording and reporting work-related injuries and illnesses. Survey reports are based on employers’ records o f recordable cases which resulted in death, illness, or injury other than minor first aid or which involved actual loss o f time from work. Data were collected under the new legislation for a 6-month period from July 1 through December 31, 1971, but the incidence rates reflect the relative level o f injuries and illnesses for all o f 1971. Estimates in the future will cover the entire year. This bulletin was prepared in the Office o f the Assistant Commissioner for Occupa tional Safety and Health Statistics, Thomas J. McArdle. The buUetin was prepared by the staff o f the Division o f Periodic Surveys, under the general direction o f William Mead. Collection and tabulation o f the data were directed by Jimmie Petersen o f the Office o f Statistical Operations and Procedures, with cooperation o f the Regional Offices o f the Bureau o f Labor Statistics. hi Contents Page Results o f survey o f occupational injuries and illnesses ................................ ...................................................... 1 Incidence r a te s .................................................................................................................................................

Glossary o f terms for the Occupational Safety and Health S u rvey............................................................. 29 v Results of Survey of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses Incidence rates which has characterized this industry since 1958 has con tinued and was primarily responsible for its selection by For all recordable cases in the private nonfarm sector, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration the incidence rate, which is calculated on the number o f (O SH A) as one o f the five target industries. (The Target injuries and illnesses per 100 man-years o f work, was 12.1. This means that if injuries and illnesses occurred during the first half o f 1971 at the same rate as the last half o f the year, then, on the average, one injury or illness Industry Program is designed to make an immediate im pact on safety and health problems by concentrating ef forts on five industries having the highest injury-frequency rates over the years. Besides lumber and wood products, would have occurred for every 9 man-years worked. Inci dence rates by industry division ranged from 2.9 in fi nance, insurance, and real estate to 22.4 for contract construction. (See table 1.) The incidence rate for lost workday cases also ranged from 1.0 in finance, insurance, and real estate to 6.8 in contract construction. This rate these industries are roofing and sheet metal; meat and meat products; miscellaneous transportation equipment; and marine cargo handling.) Among the 21 major industry groups within the divi sion, 11 had incidence rates below the level for all manu facturing. O f these, the ordnance industry, which includes activities usually regarded as extremely hazardous, had one o f the lowest rates— 8.1. Ten industries, on the other hand, had rates higher than the total manufacturing level— lumber and wood products; furniture and fixtures; reflects themore serious injury and illness cases. Incidence rates for nonfatal cases without lost workdays were more than twice the rate for lost workday cases. For the pri vate nonfarm sector, for example, the rate for nonfatal cases without lost workdays was 8.4, whereas the rate for stone, clay, and glass products; primary metal industries; fabricated metal products; machinery except electrical; transportation equipment; food and kindred products; paper and allied products; and rubber and plastic prod ucts, n.e.c. (See chart 4.) For the manufacturing sector, as a whole, the incidence rate o f nonfatal cases without lost workdays was nearly 3 times as high as the rate for lost workday cases. lost workday cases was only 3.7; in manufacturing, the rates were 12.4 and 4.3, respectively; in finance, insur ance, and real estate, the rates were 1.8 and 1.0. Differ ence in incidence rates by employment size was evident. Generally, the highest rates occurred in reporting units having between 100 and 249 employees. Rates tended to decrease as employment size became larger than 249 or fewer than 100. (See table 2.) The incidence rate for all recordable injuries and ill nesses in the contract construction industry was 22.4 per 100 man-years worked, or about one injury or illness for Selected nonmanufacturing industry divisions had lower rates than contract construction and manufactur ing. Transportation and public utilities had a rate o f 12.1 per 100 man-years worked, followed by wholesale and retail trade (8.7), services (7.3), and finance, insurance, and real estate (2.9). O f the 2-digit nonmanufacturing industry groups for which incidence rates are published, only nine had rates above the rate o f 12.1 for all indus about every 5 man-years worked. General building con tractors had the highest rate, 24.7 per 100 man-years worked, and special trade contractors the lowest, 21.1; the rate for heavy construction contractors was 22.1. In all these major groups, the incidence rate o f nonfatal cases without lost time was more then twice as high as the rate for lost workday cases. tries surveyed— water transportation with 23.1; trucking Recordable injuries and illnesses in manufacturing in and warehousing with 19.3; agricultural services, forestry, and fisheries with 16.9; oil and gas extraction with 14.8; dustries occurred at a rate o f 16.7 per 100 man-years building materials and farm equipment with 14.6; mis worked, almost 30 percent higher than the rate o f 12.1 cellaneous repair services with 14.5; transportation by for the total private nonfarm sector surveyed. Overall air with 13.6; food stores with 13.5; and electric, gas, and incidence rates for the major industry groups (2-digit sanitary services with 12.4. Among these groups, the in SIC) within manufacturing ranged from 7.6 in apparel cidence o f occupational injuries and illnesses ranged from and other textile products to 27.6 in lumber and wood one occurrence for each 200 man-years worked in legal products. The high rate for lumber and wood products services to one occurrence for each 4 man-years worked 1 in water transportation. The group showing the highest incidence rate, water transportation, includes one o f the target industries— marine cargo handling. Incidence rates for nonfatal cases without lost work days in nonmanufacturing were frequently 2 to 3 times cent o f which were in trucking and warehousing. In fin ance, insurance, and real estate, more than 80 percent o f the nearly 250 deaths were in the real estate industry. Occupational injuries accounted for 95 percent o f all recordable cases; the other 5 percent were occupational the rate for lost workday cases. For example, in miscel laneous repair services, the rate for nonfatal cases with illnesses. (See tables 4b and 4c.) Over one-third o f the ill nesses were occupational skin diseases and disorders. (See out lost workdays was 10.7, whereas the rate for lost table 5.) It is believed that some illnesses o f occupational workday cases was only 3.8. Differences in incidence origin may not be recognized and therefore may not be re flected in the statistics. rates also were apparent between employers who have different size work forces. In general, however, incidence rates were lowest in reporting units having fewer than 50 Time lost due to occupational injuries and illnesses or more than 1,000 employees. Lost workdays for the survey period totaled 12.2 mil Number of injuries and illnesses lion, not counting fatalities, or about 50,000 equivalent During the last half o f 1971, an estimated 3.1 million recordable occupational injuries and illnesses occurred in the private nonfarm sector; nearly 4,200 o f these re man-years o f work. Contract construction and manufac turing activities accounted for over 50 percent o f the lost workdays among the industries surveyed. For all indus sulted in fatalities. More than 900,000 cases involved lost workdays. (See table 4a.) Over 360,000 cases oc tries surveyed, the average number o f lost workdays per curred in contract construction. Estimates show almost categories o f occupational illnesses, the average lost work days per lost workday case ranged from 8 for disorders lost workday case was 13. (See table 3.) Among the seven 800 job-related deaths and close to one-half o f these were in the heavy construction industry. Construction due to physical agents to 29 for disorders due to repeated industries accounted for about 19 percent o f the fatalities trauma. (See table 8.) and nearly 12 percent o f the injuries and illnesses but In contract construction, an estimated 1.5 million only 6 percent o f the employment in the private nonfarm workdays were lost during the 6-month reporting period. The average number o f lost workdays for each lost work sector during the survey period. Within construction, ployment, manufacturing employers experienced almost day case was 13 in special trade construction, 14 in gen eral building construction, and 15 in heavy construction. For all construction, the average was 14 per lost workday case, only slightly higher than that for all industries sur veyed, where the average was 13. 50 percent o f all recordable occupational injuries and illnesses in the private nonfarm sector during the last half o f 1971. O f the total estimate o f nearly 1.5 million recordable cases in manufacturing, about one in 1,700 was fatal. These 800 deaths constituted almost 20 percent o f the total for the private n'onfarm sector surveyed. O f these, almost 95 percent were deaths due to injury. Four out o f the 21 industries accounted for about 50 percent o f the job-related deaths in manufacturing. These were During the same period, nearly 5 million workdays were lost in the manufacturing industry, or nearly 20,000 equivalent man-years o f work. Over 25 percent o f the re cordable occupational injuries and illnesses resulted in lost time;eachcase averaged 13 lost workdays, about the same as for the total private nonfarm sector. The average for the major industry groups ranged from a high o f 19 in the petroleum and coal products industry to a low o f 10 in both the apparel and other textile products and the the food and kindred products, lumber and wood prod miscellaneous manufacturing industries. special trade contractors had almost one-half o f the re cordable cases, general building construction one-third, and heavy construction one-sixth. Although constituting less than 33 percent o f the em ucts, chemicals and allied products, and the primary An estimated 2.4 million workdays were lost in whole metal industries. More than 1.2 million occupational injuries and ill sale and retail trade, 1.3 million in transportation and nesses occurred in industries other than contract construc in finance,insurance, and real estate. The average number public utilities, 1.6 million in services, and over 200,000 tion and manufacturing. O f these, over 2,500 resulted in o f lost workdays for each lost workday case varied by in deaths.

Background o f the Recordkeeping and Reporting Systems Promulgated under the W illiam sSteiger Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 Introduction would be subject to the proposed legislation. An informal conference called by the Institute concluded that there was cause to believe that the Z 16.1 standard was inappro priate for the proposed use and recommended that a study group be formed to consider the matter further and, i f necessary, develop a simple method o f reporting injuries. This recommendation was based on a belief that the Z16.1 standard had grown too complex, through ef forts to make it equitable, to form a basis for a manda tory national reporting system; did not adequately reflect On December 29, 1970, the president signed into law the Williams-Steiger Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, which became effective April 28, 1971. Passage o f the act (Public Law 91-596) marked a major departure in the collection o f safety and health statistics. The act provides that every place o f employment subject to the act shall be free from recognized hazards which are likely to cause death or serious physical harm. To assist in attaining this goal, the act provides for uniform record keeping and reporting procedures which will identify the trends in injury experience for employers with good seriousness o f on-the-job accidents and job-related ill safety records; and was not adequate for recording health nesses. The Bureau o f Labor Statistics was delegated the sta tistical responsibility under Section 24 (a) o f the act. Section 24, moreover, encourages the Federal govern ment to enlist the aid o f States in developing and con ducting statistical programs to meet data needs o f the States as well as its own. The Bureau has been concerned for many years with standardizing the methods for compiling work-injury sta tistics. As early as 1911 the Bureau called a formal con ference to discuss the matter. The International Associa tion o f Industrial Accident Boards and Commissions continued the work o f the conference and published the experience. A study group, formed by the Institute, concluded that a new simple method for recording and reporting occupational injuries and illnesses was needed. The study group’s proposal was published by the Institute in De cember 1970. The recordkeeping regulations which have been issued by the Secretary draw heavily on the pro posals o f the study group. Recordkeeping system The Occupational Safety and Health A ct o f 1970 (O SH A) directs the Secretary o f Labor to issue regula tions which require all employers subject to the act to maintain accurate records o f work-related deaths, ill nesses, and injuries, other than those requiring only minor first standardized procedures in 1920. In 1937, the first work-injury standard was published by the American Standards Association, now the American National Stand first aid. The regulations concerned with recording o f occupational injuries and illnesses (29 CFR Part 1904) became effective on July 1, 1971. ards Institute. The most recent revision was the Standard Method o f Recording and Measuring Work Injury Experi ence (Z16.1), 1967. The recordkeeping system stipulated under OSHA is designed to obtain reliable, current, and uniform infor mation about occupational injuries and illnesses at the workplace. It is the basic source o f data for the statistical program. Three forms are used to record work-related injuries and illnesses: A Log o f Occupational Injuries and illnesses (O SH A No. 100), a Supplementary Record o f Occupational Injuries and Illnesses (O SH A No. 101 or its equivalent), and a Summary o f Occupational Injuries and Illnesses (O SH A No. 102).None is a report form— all are In December 1969, while Congress was considering comprehensive safety and health legislation, former sec retary o f Labor J. D. Hodgson (then Under Secretary o f Labor) noted in a letter to the American National Stand ards Institute that the proposed legislation included a national system for the collection o f safety and health statistics. He requested that the Institute evaluate whether the standard method contained in Z16.1-1967 was appropriate for the broad universe o f employers who 18 to remain at the workplace to be available at reasonable times for examination by representatives o f the Depart ment o f Labor or the Department o f Health, Eduction, and Welfare, or States accorded jurisdiction under the act. These records are to be retained at the workplace for 5 years following the end o f the year to which they relate. Ordinarily an employer must enter an occupational in be appended to one o f these alternate forms to make jury or illness on the log within 6 working days after no them acceptable. Records covering employees who do not report to any fixed establishment regularly but who are subject to common supervision may be maintained in an established central place as long as records are available during busi ness hours. An employer who has seven or fewer em ployees is exempt from recordkeeping requirements un less he has been selected to participate in a statistical tification o f the case. However, any employer may main survey. In that event, he will be required to maintain a log tain the log at another location or by data processing o f all occupational injuries or illnesses for that year. The equipment if information for the log, current to within act exempted from recordkeeping coverage household 6 days, is available at the other location and a copy o f the domestics, farm family workers, and church and religious employees when directly engaged in religious services. log current to within 45 days is available at the estab lishment location. This form contains columns for the Reporting system date o f injury (or initial diagnosis o f illness), occupation o f injured or ill employee, department to which employee The Secretary o f Labor, in consultation with the HEW was assigned, nature o f injury or illness, and part o f body Secretary, is required to develop and maintain an effec tive program o f collection, compilation, and analysis o f affected. Each case is classified either as an injury or as one o f seven classes o f illnesses. For a fatality, the date o f death is entered also. Lost workdays (but not death) are entered; nonfatal cases without lost workdays (fo r example, temporary loss o f consciousness) also are indicated. It is hoped this break down will eliminate the problem o f losing track o f acci dents which result when employees transfer or terminate employment. statistics on work injuries and illnesses. In so doing he may make private grants or contracts and grants to States or political subdivisions. The Secretary may also require employers to file such reports o f work injuries and ill nesses as he shall deem necessary. The new statistical series differs conceptually from the old series in two ways. First, the base for reporting injuries and illnesses is equivalent to a year’s work for The log provides substantial information about each recordable case and should assist Federal and State com pliance officers. A quick examination o f the log will tell, for example, what occupations or departments are in curring injuries and illnesses and will indicate areas to be checked during safety inspections. 100 full-time employees rather than to the million em ployee hours worked. Second, as a result o f changes in recordable injury and illness classification, Z16.1 meas ures o f injury severity and average days charged per case will no longer be available. In their place will be a series o f measures including not only incidence rates for occu The log also acts as a worksheet to organize informa tion for the summary (O S H A N o . 102). This form con taining all log entries for a calendar year must be posted pational injuries and illnesses but also separate incidence rates for fatalities, lost workday cases, and nonfatal cases without lost workdays. In late 1971, the Federal Register by February 1 and remain in place until March 1 in a lo cation where the employer customarily posts notices to his employees. published regulations for reporting requirements and the report form (29 CFR 1904.20-.22). The survey questionnaire requested data on job-related deaths, lost workday cases, and nonfatal cases without lost workdays, The reported lost workday cases include days in which the employee was absent from his job because o f a work-related injury or illness and days in which an employee was restricted from performing all the In addition to items on the log, additional information must be recorded within 6 days on a supplementary record. Such information chiefly concerns the accident or exposure which resulted in injury or illness. Although form OSHA No. 101 is not mandatory, all information on the supplementary record must be available in some duties o f his job. Reported nonfatal cases without lost form in the establishment.

Scope of the Survey and Technical Notes Scope of survey to economic levels o f industry; thus, the more digits in an SIC code, the more specialized the industry. The survey relates to most nonfarm employers in the following industries: Agricultural services, forestry, and Sampling and estimating procedures fisheries, SIC 07-09; oil and gas extraction, SIC 13; con tract construction, SIC 15-17; manufacturing, SIC 19-39; transportation and public utilities, SIC 41-49; wholesale and retail trade, SIC 50-59; finance, insurance, and real estate, SIC 60-67;and services, SIC 70-89, except SIC 88. Excluded were self-employed individuals; farm and railroad employers; employers covered by the Coal Mine Health and Safety Act and the Metallic and Nonmetallic Mine Safety Acts; and Federal, State, and The sample was selected utilizing procedures estab lished for optimum allocation sampling. A ll employer establishments within the scope o f the survey were strat ified by industry and size o f employment. The sampling ratios at the various employment size classes ranged from all units above a certain size class selected with certainty through declining proportions in each smaller employ ment size class. Data for the sample unit were then weighted by the inverse o f the sampling ratio for the size class from which it was selected. To illustrate the proce local government units. In a separate reporting system, agencies o f the Federal government are filling reports comparable to those o f private industry with the Secretary o f Labor. Data were collected by questionnaries mailed to nearly 60,000 employer establishments. (See charts 1 and 2.) dure, where one establishment out o f four was selected, it was given a weight o f four to represent itself plus three others. Data were then benchmarked to the appropriate industry employment estimates. Second mailings and telephone calls to nonrespondents resultedin a 90.7 percent overall response rate. The 1971 occupational injury and illness estimates included reports from more than 17,800 manufacturing reporting units and from over 32,700 nonmanufacturing reporting Nature of data collected The survey questionnaire requested information on the units. average number o f employees; total number o f hours worked; type o f business activity; type o f medical serv The survey was designed to produce occupational in jury and illness incidence rates at most o f the 2-digit industry levels, as defined by the 1967 edition o f the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC ) Manual, for the ice provided by the employer; injuries and seven cate gories o f occupational illnesses by fatalities, lost workday cases, and nonfatal cases without lost workdays; and the number o f employees who were transferred or terminated country as a whole. SIC levels are numerical assignments as a result o f a job-related injury or illness. 20 INSTRUCTIONS FOR OSHA NO. 103 I am writing this letter to inform you that your establishment has been selected for inclusion in the nationwide Occupational Injuries and Illnesses Survey for the reporting period July 1, 1971 to December 31, 1971.

Thank you for your cooperation in this important survey. Sincerely, & GEORGE C. GUENTHER Assistant Secretary of Labor — An ESTABLISHMENT is defined as - a single physical location where business is conducted or where services or industrial operations are performed. (For example: a factory, mill, store, hotel, restaurant, movie theater, farm, ranch, bank, sales office, warehouse, or central administrative office.) W here distinctly separate acitivities are performed at a single location (such as contract construction activities operated from the same physical location as a lumber yard), each activity shall'be treated as a separate establishment. For firms engaged in activities such as agriculture, construction, transportation, communi cations, and electric, gas and sanitary services, which may be physically dispersed, reports should cover the place to which employees report each day.
