Preface

Data for this publication were collected in accord­
ance with the provisions of the Occupational Safety
and Health Act of 1970. The estimates gauge the oc­
currence of injuries and illnesses resulting from work­
ing conditions over which the Occupational Safety and
Health Administration of the U.S. Department of La­
bor, the Mine Safety and Health Administration of the
U.S. Department of Labor, and the Federal Railroad
Administration of the U.S. Department of Transporta­
tion exercise statutory authority.
The estimates represent the injury and illness expe­
rience of employers in private sector establishments for
the years 1972-76. For each survey, report forms were
mailed to employers in the year following the reference
year of the survey. Data for 1975 may differ from es­
timates previously published for that year due to the
exclusion of farms with fewer than 11 employees and
the retabulation of 1975 estimates using the 1972 Stan­




dard Industrial Classification Manual (SIC) rather than
the 1967 Manual used in prior years.
This bulletin was prepared in the Office of Occupa­
tional Safety and Health Statistics, Theodore J. Golonka, Assistant Commissioner, by the staff of the Di­
vision of Periodic Surveys, under the direction of Wil­
liam Mead. Data were collected and tabulated in the
Office of Statistical Operations with the cooperation of
the Regional Offices of the Bureau of Labor Statistics
and participating State agencies identified in appendix
C. State data on occupational injuries and illnesses will
be released in a separate publication.

manufacturing industries; anthracite mining was the
only nonmanufacturing industry.
Injury and illness incidence rates varied according to
establishment size; lower rates were experienced by
workers in establishments with fewer than 50 or more
than 1,000 employees (table 2). Small-sized establish­
ments (1 to 19 employees) had a rate less than one-third
that for medium-sized establishments (100 to 249 em­
ployees). The pattern of higher rates of injuries and ill­
nesses for medium-sized establishments has remained
constant over the past several years.
Table 2 also includes quartile rates. (Quartile rates
are not subject to the upward bias inherent in the mean
or total case rate-a few reporting units with a high in­
cidence of cases tend to inflate the mean rate.) The
quartile data show that in at least three-fourths of the
establishments in the private sector virtually no injuries
and illnesses occurred during 1976. In manufacturing,
one-half of the establishments had a rate of 0.0, and
one-fourth had a rate greater than or equal to 16.4. In
construction, the industry division with the highest
overall rate, about three-fourths of the establishments
had a rate less than or equal to 5.7. Chart 2 shows the

T o ta l in ju rie s a n d illn e s s e s
Incidence rates

Occupational injuries and illnesses occurred at a rate
of 9.2 per 100 full-time workers during 1976 (table 1);
op the average, 1 out of every 11 workers in the pri­
vate economy was injured or made ill while on the job.
Or, in terms of hours of exposure on the job, 1 injury
or illness was recorded for every 21,700 hours worked.
The estimates represent the experience of 67 million
workers in over 5 million establishments in the private
sector of the American economy. In addition to exclud­
ing self-employed individuals in the private sector, the
1976 estimates (and comparable 1975 data) exclude
farms with fewer than 11 employees.
The 1976 private sector rate represents a slight in­
crease from the 1975 rate of 9.1-about 1 percent. The
incidence rate changed little from 1975 and 1976 be­
cause the increase in the number of employees and num­
ber of hours worked was just about proportionate to
the increase in the number of injuries and illnesses. The
increase in employment and hours worked was about
the same for high-risk industries (agriculture, forestry,
and fishing; mining; construction; manufacturing; and
transportation and public utilities) as for low-risk indus­
tries (wholesale and retail trade; finance, insurance, and
real estate; and services).
Rates for the major industry divisions ranged from
15.3 in construction to 2.0 in finance, insurance, and
real estate (chart 1). Injury and illness rates for all the
goods-producing industry divisions (agriculture, forest­
ry, and fishing; mining; construction; manufacturing)
and only one service-producing industry (transporta­
tion and public utilities) were higher than the average
for the private sector. Manufacturing, which employs
nearly one-third of the total private sector work force,
had a rate of 13.2. Rates decreased in three of the eight
industry divisions from 1975 to 1976, increased in four
divisions and stayed the same for one division, mining in­
dustries. Construction industries had the greatest changedown from 15.9 to 15.3 injuries and illnesses per 100
full-time workers.
The meatpacking industry had the highest injury and
illness incidence rate-34.7-or an average of 1 case for
every 3 workers (text table 1). Of the 20 industries with
the highest injury and illness incidence rates, 10 were

the highest total case rates.
By incidence rate interval, the proportion of estab­
lishments in which virtually no injuries or illnesses oc­
curred varied inversely with establishment size, while
the proportion of establishments with rates between 0.1
and 9.9 varied directly with establishment size (chart
3). Middle-sized establishments had the largest propor­
tion of firms with injury and illness incidence rates of
10.0 and above.

ture, forestry, and fishing (table 5). Manufacturing in­
dustries had the next highest illness rate-5.3 cases per
1.000 employees. Firms engaged in mining and services
activities had the greatest proportion of illness cases re­
sulting in lost worktime (50 percent each); construction
industries had the least (less than 30 percent). The serv­
ices division had the highest illness incidence rate of
lost workdays-a measure of severity which represents
the number of days lost from illnesses per 1,000 full­
time workers. The services rate of 64.8 was nearly 2
1/2 times the rate for the total private sector. This was
largely due to the high incidence of lost workdays in
health services, where the rate was over 6 times the
private sector rate.
Agricultural chemicals, not elsewhere classified, had
the highest rate of occupational illness during 1976—
nearly 4 1/2 times the rate for all industries (text table
2) . All of the 20 industries with the highest illness in­
cidence rates were manufacturing industries. Of these,
14 were durable goods industries.
Of all occupational illnesses, skin diseases and disor­
ders continued to be the most frequently recorded, with
a rate of 1.3 cases per 1,000 full-time workers in 1976
(table 6); leather tanning and finishing had the highest
rate-21.2 cases per 1,000 full-time workers (text table
3) . Dust diseases of the lungs were the least recorded
occupational illness, with a rate of less than 5 cases per
100.000 full-time workers.

Number of injuries and illnesses

There were nearly 5.2 million job-related injuries and
illnesses in 1976-an increase of more than 170,000 or 3
percent from the previous year (table 3). The number
of recorded cases increased in five out of eight indus­
try divisions.
Manufacturing industries accounted for a much larger
percentage of injuries and illnesses than of employment.
Manufacturing and wholesale and retail trade industries
contributed nearly 70 percent of all private sector in­
juries and illnesses.
Illnesses continued to account for a relatively small
proportion of total injury and illness cases-about 3 per­
cent (table 4). In the services division, illnesses consti­
tuted a larger proportion of total cases than in any oth­
er industry division-nearly 5 percent.

illnesses

Number of illnesses

Occupational illnesses include any abnormal condi­
tion or disorder, other than one resulting from an oc­
cupational injury, caused by exposure to environmen­
tal factors associated with employment. The incidence
of occupational illnesses measured by the annual sur­
vey refers to the number of new illness cases occurring
during a year, and does not measure continuing condi­
tions of illness reported in previous surveys. Cases are
recorded only in the year in which they are diagnosed
and recognized as work related.
The recording and reporting of illnesses continue to
present some measurement problems since employers
(and even doctors) are often unable to recognize some
illnesses as being work related. The annual survey in­
cludes data on only current and visible illnesses of work­
ers; it does not include data on illnesses which might
surface later. However, there has been some progress
in identification, and the reporting of recognized ill­
nesses is accurate with the usual sampling
considerations.

Occupational illnesses accounted for approximately
168.000 cases in 1976-up about 3 percent from 1975.
The number of illnesses increased in five out of the
eight industry divisions. Manufacturing industries had
a large proportion of illness cases in relation to employText table 2. Industries with highest illness incidence rates,

Incidence rates

During 1976, the incidence rate of occupational ill­
nesses was 0.3 cases per 100 full-time workers, or about
3 cases per 1,000 employees. Illness rates ranged from
0.7 cases per 1,000 employees in the finance, insurance,
and real estate division to 8 cases per 1,000 in agricul­

percent of the recorded cases were serious enough to
require the injured employee to be restricted in work
activity or to take days off from work. Rates ranged
from 14.9 in construction to 1.9 in finance, insurance,
and real estate.
The 1976 injury rate represented a slight increaseabout 1 percent-from the rate of 8.8 in 1975. This in­
crease was primarily in cases involving lost worktime,
which rose from a rate of 3.2 to 3.4. Changes in over­
all rates ranged from an increase of about 5 percent in
agriculture, forestry, and fishing to a decrease of near­
ly 10 percent in finance, insurance, and real estate. Four
industry divisions registered increases, three divisions
registered decreases, and one had no change. Rates for
goods-producing industries (agriculture, forestry, and
fishing; mining; construction; and manufacturing) and
service-producing industries (transportation and public
utilities; wholesale and retail trade; finance, insurance,
and real estate; and services) remained at their 1975
levels of 12.8 and 6.3, respectively (chart 5).
Injury rates in construction-the industry division with
the highest rates in the past-declined around 5 percent,
from 15.6 to 14.9 injuries per 100 full-time workers.
Construction was the only industry division in which
the overall rates dropped for all major industry groups.
General building contractors had the greatest decreasedown 7 percent from 1975.
The overall injury rate for manufacturing industries,
the largest industry division, rose less than 1 percent
between 1975 and 1976. The rate for durable goods in­
dustries decreased by less than 1 percent, while the rate
for nondurable goods industries increased by nearly 4
percent. Of the industries with rates above the average
for manufacturing, three were in nondurable goods man­
ufacturing (food and kindred products, paper and allied
products, and rubber and miscellaneous plastics) and
six were in durable goods manufacturing (chart 6).
Thirteen major industry groups in manufacturing had
increases in rates from 1975 to 1976, five had decreases,
and two had no change. Changes in rates ranged from

ment-nearly 60 percent of all illnesses and less than 30
percent of all employment. In addition, the number of
workdays lost due to illness increased-the number of
days lost rose by more than 600,000, or 70 percent from
1975. The health services industry accounted for a large
proportion of this increase, with the number of days
lost increasing by over 550,000.
Skin diseases and disorders continued to account for
about 4 of every 10 illnesses recorded, largely because
they were more readily observable than other illnesses
(chart 4). These cases, generally the less serious occu­
pational illnesses, had the smallest proportion of illnesses
involving lost worktime (text table 4). On the other
hand, disorders associated with repeated trauma caused
the greatest loss of worktime, and dust diseases of the
lungs had the h ighest average num ber of lost w ork days
per lost workday case (table 7). Cases involving poi­
soning accounted for the largest number of illness
fatalities.

Injuries
Occupational injuries included injuries caused by
work accidents or from exposure involving a single in­
cident in the work environment. These were recorded
if they resulted in death, worktime lost, medical treat­
ment other than minor first aid, loss of consciousness,
restriction of work or motion, transfer to another job,
or termination of employment.
Incidence rates

Occupational injuries occurred at a rate of 8.9 re­
corded cases per 100 full-time workers during 1976 (ta­
ble 8); on the average, an injury ocurred to 1 out of
every 12 workers in the private sector. Less than 40

a decrease of nearly 11 percent in petroleum and coal
products to an increase of around 12 percent in appar­
el and other textile products. Over 70 percent of the
manufacturing industries with changes in rates had
changes of less than 5 percent. Lumber and wood prod­
ucts continued to have the highest injury rates-21.7;
apparel and other textile products had the lowest-6.5.
Nearly 75 percent of the industry groups experiencing
decreases in overall rates had declines of less than 12
percent (text table 5); almost 40 percent of the decreases
ranged from 6 to 11 percent. Between 1975 and 1976
establishments with increases in the rates experienced
greater percent changes than establishments with de­
creases in rates. Changes in lost workday injury rates
were generally greater than those for total case rates.

same in firms with 1,000 or more employees. The great­
est percent change occurred in the smallest establish­
ments, where the rate dropped more than 9 percent.
Number of injuries

During 1976, private sector workers experienced
nearly 5.0 million work-related injuries. Over 1.9 mil­
lion or 38 percent of these resulted in lost worktime,
and less than 1 percent resulted in death. The propor­
tion of injuries involving either lost workdays or fatal­
ities ranged between 36 and 38 percent of total injuries
in 5 of the 8 industry divisions (chart 8). In agriculture,
forestry, and fishing; mining; and transportation and
public utilities, these cases amounted to 44 percent, 53
percent, and 51 percent, respectively.
Manufacturing industries experienced 2.3 million or
over 45 percent of all injuries while accounting for
nearly 30 percent of all employment during 1976 (chart
9). Wholesale and retail trade industries, the second
largest industry division, contributed over 20 percent
of all private sector injuries. Of these, about 32 percent
were attributable to wholesale trade establishments as
compared to 68 percent for retail trade. However,
wholesale trade industries had higher levels of injuries
in relation to employment than retail trade industries.
Construction industries experienced over 9 percent of

Incidence rate trends since 1972

Between 1972 and 1976, the total case incidence rate
for all industries dropped by more than 15 percentdown from 10.5 to 8.9 injuries per 100 full-time work­
ers (text table 6). This decrease occurred primarily in
the less serious c a ses-th o se in vo lv in g no loss of w orktime-which dropped by nearly 25 percent. However,
the rate for lost workday injuries rose 6 percent; the
severity of injuries as measured by the lost workday
incidence rate also increased, from 46.3 days lost per
100 full-time workers to 57.8 during the same 5-year
period.

Text table 6. Occupational injury incidence rates, by extent of
case, United States, 1972-76

Incidence rates by establishment size

In the total private sector, lower injury rates were
generally experienced by workers in establishments with
fewer than 20 or more than 2,500 employees (chart 7).
Establishments with 50 to 1,000 employees generally
experienced higher injury rates in 1976, with the high­
est rate occurring in those with 100 to 249 employees.
Rates for mining, construction, and transportation and
public utilities industries were highest in establishments
with 50 to 99 employees (table 9). Injury rates in agri­
culture, forestry, and fishing generally rose with estab­
lishment size.
Between 1975 and 1976, incidence rates increased in
five employment-size groups but decreased in the small­
est establishments (1 to 19 employees) and remained the

total private sector injuries-more than 50 percent high­
er than the proportion of total employment in these
industries.
The 1976 private sector level of nearly 5 million in­
juries represents an increase of nearly 4 percent from
the 4.8 million injuries recorded for 1975. However, as
stated earlier, the increase of nearly 170,000 cases was
directly proportionate to the rise in hours worked be­
tween the 2 years.
Fatalities

ly in five industry divisions, increased in services, and
remained the same in manufacturing and in agriculture,
forestry, and fishing.

W orktim e lost
Two measures are currently used as estimates of
worktime lost: (1) Lost workday cases primarily meas­
ure the occurrence of injuries, and (2) days lost which
indicate the severity of the cases. Lost worktime includes
both days away from work and days o f restricted work
activity.
Lost workday cases involving days away from work in­
clude those cases which result in days away from work,
or a combination of days away from work and days of
restricted work activity. Lost workday cases involving re­
stricted work activity are cases resulting in restricted
work activity only-the employee reported to work but
could not perform all the duties of the job.

Incidence rates

During 1976, job-related fatalities occurred in the pri­
vate sector at a rate of 0.08 per 100 full-time workers
(chart 10); on the average, 1 out of every 12,500 work­
ers suffered a job-related injury or illness that resulted
in death.
Rates ranged from 0.49 in mining industries to 0.01
in finance, insurance, and real estate. As in past years,
fatality rates in mining; agriculture, forestry, and fish­
ing; construction; and transportation and public utilities
were higher than in the other industry divisions. In
1976, the mining fatality rate was over 6 times the av­
erage rate for all industries.
The overall incidence of job-related fatalities dropped
by more than 11 percent from 1975 to 1976. Fatality
rates decreased in 6 of the 8 industry divisions; only
agriculture, forestry, and fishing, and services experi­
enced increases. Large percentage decreases occurred
in wholesale and retail trade (50 percent) and finance,
insurance, and real estate (67 percent)-industries which
historically have low fatality rates. Mining, the indus­
try with the highest fatality rate in the past, decreased
about 21 percent.

Lost workday injury cases

Incidence rates. Lost workday injuries occurred at a
rate of 3.4 per 100 full-time workers during 1976— 6
up
percent from the previous year (table 11). The private
sector lost workday injury rates have varied little since
1972, when the rate was 3.2. The rate for injury cases in­
volving days away from work was 3.2, while the rate for
cases involving restricted work activity was only 0.2.
Total lost workday injury rates ranged from 5.7 in
mining industries to 0.7 in finance, insurance, and real
estate, and services. The greatest percentage change
occurred in wholesale and retail trade industries-up 8
percent from 1975.
Special product sawmills and meatpacking plants
ranked first and second among the 20 industries with
the highest lost workday injury rates (text table 7).
These industries were also the two industries with the
highest overall injury and illness incidence rates. Twelve
of the 20 industries with the highest lost workday in­
jury rates also ranked among the 20 industries with the
highest total case rates.
Lost workday injury incidence rates have paralleled
the variation in total case rates by employment-size
group over the past several years. Employers with few­
er than 50 or more than 1,000 workers generally expe­
rienced the highest injury rates.

Number of fatalities

Approximately 4,500 work injuries and illnesses re­
sulted in death in 1976 (table 10). This represents all
deaths resulting from an occupational injury or illness
that occurred in 1976, regardless of the length of time
between the injury and death or the length of the ill­
ness resulting in death. Of these, 4,200 or about 93 per­
cent were injury related.
Among industry divisions, manufacturing industries
had the largest number of fatalities during 1976-1,100.
However, the proportion of fatalities occurring in this
division was still lower than the proportion of total em­
ployment in manufacturing. Mining fatalities, on the
other hand, were more than 7 times its proportionate
share of total employment; construction was more than
3 times that industry divisions share of employment.
Agriculture, forestry, and fishing; mining; construction;
and transportation and public utilities accounted for
nearly 50 percent of all fatalities and only about 15 per­
cent of employment.
In 1976, there were about 700 fewer deaths than in
1975, a decline of 14 percent. Fatalities dropped sharp­



Number o f lost workday injury cases. There were 1.9
million injuries involving lost worktime in 1976— nearly
up
150,000 cases or 8 percent from 1975. The number of lost
workday cases increased in 5 of the 8 industry divisions.
Manufacturing industries acccounted for nearly 45 per­
cent of the total number of lost workday cases and about
65 percent of the increase in the number of cases in 1976.
Wholesale and retail trade industries contributed the second
highest number of cases—
over 400,000 or about 21 per­
cent—
with 65 percent of these injuries from retail trade.
5

lost workday cases involving 15 or more days away
from work was 35 percent. The percentage of daysaway-from-work cases involving 15 days or more
ranged from 63 percent in water transportation serv­
ices to 24 percent in sanitary services (chart 12).

full-tim e workers. See appendix D.
NOTE: n.e.c. = not elsewhere classified.

Approximately 95 percent of all lost worktime inju­
ries involved at least 1 full day away from work. The
remaining 5 percent involved restricted work activity
only. The proportion of cases involving days of restrict­
ed work activity only ranged from slightly more than
1 percent in construction industries to 8 percent in man­
ufacturing (chart 11). Manufacturing accounted for over
40 percent of all private sector injuries involving days
away from work and nearly 70 percent of all injuries
involving restricted work activity only (text table 8).
Wholesale and retail trade, the industry with the sec­
ond highest percentage of injuries causing days away
from work, had less than 6 percent of the cases involv­
ing only restricted work activity. The proportion of
lost worktime injuries involving only restricted work
activity varied directly with establishment size, account­
ing for nearly 2 percent of all lost worktime cases in
the 1 to 19 employee-size group, and about 27 percent
of the cases in establishments with 2,500 employees and
over (text table 9).
According to another measure of lost worktime-the
number of injuries and illnesses involving 15 or more
days away from work-the mining division experienced
the most severe lost workday cases (text table 10). In
mining, nearly 34 percent of the days-away-from-work
cases lasted 15 days or longer-around 20 percent high­
er than the average for the private sector as a whole.
The other industry divisions in which more than 30
percent of the cases involved absences of at least 15
workdays were transportation and public utilities (32
percent) and construction (31 percent).

illness rate of lost workdays, the average proportion of

Lost workdays due to injuries

Incidence rates. The incidence rate of lost workdays
provides an indication of the severity of injuries by relating
the number of days lost to a common base of exposure on
the job. During 1976, the incidence rate of lost workdays
increased 6 percent over the previous year-from 54.6
to 57.8 days lost per 100 full-time workers. The inci­
dence rate of lost workdays rose in all industry divisions-from 2 percent in services to 19 percent in agri­
culture, forestry, and fishing. Lost workday incidence
rates ranged from 11.0 in finance, insurance, and real
estate to 113.9 in mining.
Over 75 percent of the 2-digit SIC industries experi­
enced increases in the incidence rate of lost workdays.
In manufacturing, 19 out of the 20 industries showed
increases. Water transportation services registered the
highest incidence rate of lost workdays during 1976—
nearly 8 times the rate of the total private sector (chart
14). However, the industry’s 1976 rate of 452.6 repre­
sents a 9-percent decrease from the 1975 rate of 496.1.

Safety training and medical examinations
Following the pattern of 1975, almost 2 out of 3 pri­
vate sector employers had no established safety and
health training program. However, those firms that did
have programs employed nearly 70 percent of the to­
tal private sector work force (text table 12). In three
major industry groups-agriculture, forestry, and fish­
ing; manufacturing; and transportation and public util­
ities—
more than 50 percent of the employers maintained
some form of safety program. About 4 out of 5 em­
ployees in manufacturing and transportation and pub­
lic utilities were covered. The smallest percentage of
employees provided safety and health programs were
employed in finance, insurance, and real estate where
only 1 out of 3 employees worked where safety train­
ing was available. The incidence rate of injuries and
illnesses in 1976 was higher for those establishments
which had safety and health programs than for those
that did not provide them -11.1 versus 5.1 cases per 100
full-time workers.
By employment size, both groups-those with no safe­
ty program and those with an established one-exhibited the same pattern in incidence rates (text table 13).
The lower rates occurred in both the smallest and largest
units while the highest rates were in the middle em­
ployment level, the 100 to 249 employee group. Over
40 percent of the employment in establishments not pro­
viding safety training was reported in units having few­
er than 20 workers, while about 20 percent of all em­
ployees worked in units having from 20 to 49 persons.
On the other hand, about two-thirds of the employees
in firms providing safety programs worked in units of
100 or more people.
There was an inverse relationship between the oc­
currence, of occupational injuries and illnesses and the
degree of physical medical examinations provided by
employers in the industry as a whole. Although approx­
imately 55 percent of all employees worked in units not
providing any type of medical examination, the rate of
occurrence of injuries and illnesses, 7.9, was much low­
er for them than for the group working for employers
providing such examinations, 10.9 (text table 14).
By industry division, almost 80 percent of the em­
ployees in transportation and public utilities were pro­
vided medical exams, yet the injury and illness rate for

Number o f lost workdays. During 1976, approximately
32.5 million workdays were lost due to job-related injuries.
This represents the loss of a full year’s work for about
130,000 workers and a 9-percent increase from the 29.8
million workdays lost in 1975. The number of workdays
lost increased in all industry divisions, with the exception
of services, which declined 5 percent. The wholesale and
retail trade industries had the greatest percentage changeup 12 percent.
There was an average of 17 lost workdays per lost
workday injury in the private sector for 1976. This av­
erage measures the length of time (not counting the day
of injury) the employee was away from work or could
not perform all regularly assigned duties because of a
job-related injury. Average days lost ranged from 20
in mining industries to 15 in wholesale and retail trade.
Comparison with time lost from work stoppages

During 1976, the percentage of total worktime lost
in the private sector from job-related injuries and ill­
nesses was lower than the percentage lost due to work
stoppages. Work stoppages data reflect the number of
workdays employees did not work because of a dispute
between labor and management which resulted in a
strike or lockout. Work related injuries and illnesses
have accounted for more days lost than work stoppages
in 2 out of the last 4 years (text table 11).

tail trade industries provided medical examinations to
the lowest porportion of employees-19 percent.
The larger the firm, the more likely that medical ex­
aminations will be provided to the employees. In the
smallest size group (1 to 19 employees), only 11 per­
cent of the employees worked for companies providing
medical examinations, while in establishments which
employed 2,500 workers or more, 94 percent provided
coverage. In establishments having 250 people or more,
better than half of all workers were provided with some
type of employer-furnished medical examination. Only
in the very large units with over 1,000 workers was the
incidence rate less for firms which provided medical
examinations than for those which did not.
Among the 12 industries with the highest injury and
illness incidence rates and the highest incidence rates
of lost workdays, three-fourths of the employees worked
in establishments providing medical examinations, and
virtually all employees were provided safety and health
training programs (text table 15). Incidence rates were
generally higher in establishments providing these
services.

Totals for divisions and 2- and 3-digit SIC codes include data for industries not shown separately.

1975

Standard Industrial Classification Manual SIC, 1972 Edition.

3/ Annual average employment for nonagricultural industries is based primarily on employment covered by State unemployment insurance programs.
For
those industries in which the unemployment insurance program does not have complete coverage and there is no change in the content of the industry
classification between the 1967 and 1972 SIC manuals, estimates from the U.S. Department of Labor's Employment and Earnings Survey, which are based
on the 1967 manual, are used. Annual average employment for the agriculture, forestry, and fishing division is a composite of data from the
unemployment insurance program, and estimates of hired-farm workers engaged in agricultural production (SIC 01 and 02) provided by the Statistical
Reporting Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture.
The agricultural production estimates are adjusted to exclude employment on farms with fewer than
11 employees.

k)

The incidence rates represent the number of injuries and illnesses or lost workdays per 100 full-time workers and were calculated as:
(N/EH) X 200,000, where
N
= number of injuries and illnesses or lost workdays
EH
= total hours worked by all employees during calendar year
200,000
■ base for 100 full-time equivalent workers (working 40 hours per week, 50 weeks per year).

5/ Includes fatalities.
Because of rounding, the difference between the total and the sum of the rates for lost workday cases and nonfatal cases
without lost workdays does not reflect the fatality rate.
6/

Excludes farms with fewer than 11 employees.

Tj

Data conforming to the OSHA definitions for coal and lignite mining (SIC 11 and 12) and metal and nonmetal mining (SIC 10 and 14), and for
railroad transportation (SIC 40) were provided by the Mining Enforcement and Safety Administration, U.S. Department of the Interior, and by the
Federal Railroad Administration, U.S. Department of Transportation.

J

The incidence rate represents the number of injuries and illnesses per 100 full-time workers.

KJ

The mean incidence rate is calculated as (N/EH) X 200,000, where
N - number of injuries and illnesses
EH - total hours worked by all employees during the calendar year
200,000 « base for 100 full-time equivalent workers (working 40 hours per week, 50 weeks per year).

The middle range (interquartile) is defined by 2 measures; a fourth of the establishments have a rate lower than or equal
to the first quartile rate and a fourth have a rate higher than or equal to the third quartile rate.
5/ Data conforming to the OSHA definitions for coal and lignite mining (SIC 11 and 12) and metal and nonmetal mining (SIC 10
and 14), and for railroad transportation were provided by the Mining Enforcement and Safety Administration, D.S. Department of
the Interior, and by the Federal Railroad Administration, U.S. Department of Transportation.
NOTE: Asterisks indicate that quartile rates were not derived because fewer than 25 establishment reports were included in the
industry employment-size group.

Excludes farms with fewer than 11 employees.

4/ Data conforming to OSHA definitions for coal and lignite mining (SIC 11 and 12) and metal and nonmetal mining (SIC 10 and 14), and for
railroad transportation (SIC 40) were provided by the Mine Safety and Health Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, and by the
Federal Railroad Administration, U.S. Department of Transportation.
NOTE: Asterisks are shown for estimates of fewer than 50 cases.
Because of rounding, components may not add to totals.

Dashes indicate no data reported, or data that do not meet publication guidelines.

The number of lost workdays for the 2-digit SIC levels shown in this table can be approximated by multiplying the estimates of the number of
lost workday cases by the average lost workdays per lost workday case.
Approximations of average lost workdays per lost workday case for 3- and 4-digit SIC levels can be derived by dividing the incidence rate of
lost workdays by the incidence rate for lost workday cases appearing in tables 1 and 6.

al illnesses by the number of total cases, fatalities, lost
workday cases, and nonfatal cases without lost work­
days; and the number of cases in which employees were
transferred or terminated as a result of a job-related in­
jury or illness.

Scope of survey

The occupational injury and illness data reported
through the annual survey were based on the records
which employers in the following private industries
maintain under the Occupational Safety and Health Act:
Agriculture, forestry, and fishing, SIC 01-09; oil and
gas extraction, SIC 13; construction, SIC 15-17; manu­
facturing, SIC 20-39; transportation and public utilities,
SIC 41-49; wholesale and retail trade, SIC 50-59; fi­
nance, insurance, and real estate, SIC 60-67; and serv­
ices, SIC 70-89, except SIC 88. Excluded from the sur­
vey were self-employed individuals; farmers with few­
er than 11 employees; employers regulated by other
Federal safety and health laws; and Federal, State, and
local government agencies.
Data conforming to definitions of recordable occu­
pational injuries and illnesses for coal, metal, and nonmetal mining, and railroad transportation were provid­
ed by the Mine Safety and Health Administration, U.S.
Department of Labor, and the Federal -Railroad Ad­
ministration, U.S. Department of Transportation. In a
separate reporting system agencies of the Federal Gov­
ernment are filing reports on occupational injuries and
illnesses with the Secretary of Labor comparable with
those of private industry. At this time, State and local
government agencies are not represented in the nation­
al sample.
About 251,000 national sample units were selected
nationwide to participate in the 1976 survey; of these,
about 43,000 were ineligible to be included in the final
response count. Replies were received from approxi­
mately 92 percent of the 208,000 eligible sample unitsor about 192,000. The 1976 estimates were based on re­
ports from about 69,000 establishments in manufactur­
ing industries and 123,000 in nonmanufacturing
industries.

Sample design

The sample was selected to represent private indus­
tries in the States and territories. The survey results
were used to produce estimates of the number of oc­
currences and incidence rates of occupational injuries
and illnesses by industry and employment size for the
Nation as a whole.
The universe frame was stratified by industry and by
employment-size group. Because the survey is a FederaLState cooperative program and the data had to meet
the needs of participating State agencies, the universe
was then stratified by State prior to sample selection.
An optimum allocation was achieved by distributing
the sample to each size group proportionate to the to­
tal employment and the variation among size groups.
The sampling ratios for the various employment-size
groups ranged from all units above a certain size class
selected with certainty through declining proportions
in each smaller employment-size group. The certainty
strata were usually greater than 100 employees, al­
though these may have ranged downward in employ­
ment size depending upon the total employment in the
industry. Sample sizes were then adjusted to produce
integral sample ratios. The ratios determined for each
industry-employment-size group were used to select a
sample within a State-industry-employment-size group
estimating cell. A segment of each State sample was
selected for generating national estimates. States may
choose to expand the sample to concentrate on a par­
ticular industry.
Estimating procedures

Survey questionnaire

The 1976 survey questionnaire requested information
concerning average employment during the calendar
year; total employee hours worked; type of business ac­
tivity; the first month of an OSHA compliance inspec­
tion; the types of medical examinations provided for
employees; the types of safety and health training pro­
grams in the establishment; the number of lost work­
day cases which involved 15 or more workdays away
from work; injuries and seven categories of occupation­



Weighting. Weights were determined by the inverse
of the sampling ratios for the size class from which the
unit was selected. Using a weighting procedure, sam­
ple units were made to represent all units in their size
class for a particular industry. Each sample member is
assigned a State weight and, if it was to be used to pro­
duce national estimates, a national weight as well. The
national and State weights were often different since
the sample unit may have represented a different pro­
91

portion of the universe in each case. Weights of re­
sponding units were adjusted in each sampling cell to
account for the nonresponse in that cell. Units were
then shifted into the estimating cell determined by in­
dustry classification and reported employment. Each
unit carried into the estimating cell the weight of its
sampling cell, which was adjusted for nonresponse. Data
for each unit were multiplied by the appropriate non­
response adjusted weight. The products were then ag­
gregated to obtain totals for the estimating cell.
Benchmarking. Data were further adjusted to reflect
the actual employment in an industry during the sur­
vey year. Since the universe file, which provides the
sample frame was not current to the reference year of
the survey, it was necessary to benchmark the data to
reflect current employment levels.
The benchmarking procedure related the employ­
ment estimate used in sampling to the actual employ­
ment for the reference year of the survey. The ratio of
the actual employment to the weighted employment es­
timate is called the benchmark factor. The aggregated
weighted-nonresponse adjusted characteristics of the
estimating cell were multiplied by the benchmark fac­
tor so that the cell became more representative of the
universe during the survey reference year.

The original tabulations on which data of the num­
ber of recorded fatalities and nonfatal injuries and ill­
nesses were based showed all estimates to the nearest
whole unit. Estimates of the numbers of injuries and
illnesses were rounded to the nearest thousand. De­
rived percents were computed after the estimates were
rounded.

are minimized through comprehensive edit procedures
and follow-up contacts with employers.
The relative error is a measure of sampling variabil­
ity-variations which occur by chance because only a
sample of the establishments are in the survey. In con­
junction with the estimates, the relative standard error
serves to define the confidence intervals or ranges that
would include the comparable complete coverage val­
ue. The chances are about 2 out of 3 that the estimate
would have been produced in the range of 1 standard
error above to 1 standard error below the estimated
value, and about 19 out of 20 that the estimates would
have been in the range of 2 standard errors above and
below the estimated value.
Because of the complex two-stage ratio estimation
procedure, most relative errors were computed using a
simplified form of the variance-estimation formulas. The
more complex variance formulas were used for a few
of the items, resulting in some higher estimates and
some lower estimates of relative errors. The relative
errors approximate the sampling errors of the incidence
rates.
As an example of the use of the relative errors, gen­
eral building construction (SIC 15) has an estimated in­
cidence rate for total cases of 14.5 per 100 full-time
workers and a relative error of 4 percent. The chances
are 2 out of 3 that a complete census would produce a
rate between 15.1 and 13.9, and the chances are 19 out
of 20 that the rate produced from a complete count
would be between 15.7 and 13.3. For the number of
job-related injuries and illnesses resulting in lost work­
days, the published rate is 5.2 per 100 full-time work­
ers with a 5-percent relative error. The chances are 2
out of 3 that a census would show a rate between 5.5
and 4.9 and 19 out of 20 that the rate could be between
5.7 and 4.7. Similarly, the number of occupational in­
juries and illnesses estimated for SIC 15 was 119,600
with a relative error of 4 percent. Thus, the chances
are 2 out 3 that a census would show a number between
approximately 124,400 and 114,800 and 19 out of 20
that the number would be within a range of approxi­
mately 129,000 and 110,000.

Industrial classification

Publication guidelines

Reporting units were classified into industries by their
principal product or activity. The data were tabulated
according to the 1972 edition of the Standard Industri­
al Classification Manual (SIC).

The BLS tabulating system generates occupational
injury and illness estimates for approximately 800 SIC
industry levels. This bulletin, however, excludes esti­
mates for several 2-, 3-, and 4-digit levels, if one of the
following situations occurred:
1.
Estimates for the industry level were based on re­
ports from fewer than three companies. Moreover, if
three or more companies reported data for the indus­
try, the employment of one firm could not constitute
50 percent or more of the employment for the indus­
try, or two companies combined could not equal or ex­
ceed 75 percent of the industry employment.

Federal-State cooperation

Under grant arrangements with State agencies, re­
spondents completed a single reporting form which was
used to generate both national and State estimates. This
eliminated duplicate reporting and, together with the
use of identical techniques at the national and State lev­
els, ensured maximum comparability of estimates.
Rounding of published estimates

Reliability of estimates

Estimates based on a sample may differ from figures
that would have been obtained had a complete census
of establishments been possible using the same sched­
ules or procedures. As in any survey, the results are
subject to errors of response and reporting, as well as
sampling variability. Errors of response and reporting



92

2. 1976 annual average employment for the industry
was less than 10,000. However, industries with annual
average employment of less than 10,000 were published
if the majority of the employment for an industry was
reported in the survey.
3. Relative standard error for lost workday cases at
1 standard deviation was more than 15 percent for the
industry level in manufacturing and 20 percent in
nonmanufacturing.




4.
Benchmark factor or the industry level was less
than 0.90 or greater than 1.49.
Data for an unpublished industry were included in
the total shown for the broader industry level of which
it is a part. In addition to deleting industries, selected
items of data were suppressed for publishable industries
when the relative standard error for the estimate was
equal to or exceeded 60 percent.

Appendix B. OSH A No. 103 Report Form
and Instructions

Dear Employer:
The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 requires the Secretary of Labor to collect, compile,
and analyze statistics on occupational injuries and illnesses. This is accomplished through a joint,
Federal-State survey program with States that have received Federal grants for collecting and com­
piling statistics. Establishments are selected fo r this survey on a sample basis with varying probabilities
depending upon size. Certain establishments may be included in each year's sample because of their
importance to the statistics for their industry.
You have been selected to participate in the nationwide Occupational Injuries and Illnesses Survey for
1976. Under the Occupational Safety and Health Act, your report is mandatory.
The following items are enclosed for your use: (1) Instructions for completing the form ; (2) Form
O SHA No. 103 and a copy for your files; and (3) on addressed return envelope. Please complete Form
O SHA No. 103 and return it within three weeks in the envelope provided.
If you have any questions about this survey, contact the survey collection agency indicated on Form
O SHA No. 103.
Thank you for your cooperation with this important survey.

SECTION V III - IN JU R Y A N D ILLNESS SU M M A R Y
This section can be completed quickly and easily by copying the data already entered on
your OSHA No. 102 “Summary of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses" for 1976 or by
summarizing the data from your OSHA No. 100 “ Log of Occupational Injuries and
Illnesses".
NOTE: If this report includes more than one establishment, the
separate OSHA
No. 102 summaries for each must be added and the sums entered in Section VIII.
However, you should first make sure that each OSHA No. 102 form has been cor­
rectly prepared. The OSHA No. 102 form is the summary of cases which have
been entered on the Log of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses (OSHA No. 100)
during calendar year 1976. Please review the Log to make sure that all entries
are correct and complete. Each case should be included in only one of the three
types: Fatalities (Log column 8); Lost Workday Cases (Log column 9); or Nonfatal
Cases W ithout Lost Workdays (Log column 10). The Summary (OSHA No. 102) should
have been completed by summarizing, separately, occupational injuries (code 10) and the
seven categories of occupational illnesses (code 21 through 29) according to instructions
on the back of the Summary form. Please remember that, if your employees' loss of workdays
is still continuing at the time the summary is completed, you should estimate the number
of future workdays they will lose and add this estimate to the actual workdays already
lost.
NOTE: All injuries which, in your judgment, required only First Aid Treatm ent, even when
administered by a doctor or nurse, should not be included on this report. First Aid Treat­
ment is defined as one-time treatment and subsequent observation of minor scratches, cuts,
burns, splinters, etc.

SECTION IX

Please complete all parts, including telephone number. Then
No. 103 form (but NOT your file copy) in the self-addressed envelope.

Appendix C. State Agencies
Participating in the 1976
Survey

The 1976 survey was conducted in cooperation with
agencies in 44 States, the District of Columbia, Amer­
ican Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands
which received operating grants. These agencies shared
half the cost with the Federal Government in collect­
ing, processing, and analyzing the survey data. Also,
national data for 3 of the 6 States which did not have
operational grants were collected by the Bureau of La­
bor Statistics and for the other 3, by State agencies in
New York, Ohio, and Texas under contract. Following
are the State agencies which participated in the annual
survey.
Requests for more detailed data by industry for the
States shown in this publication can be obtained direct­
ly from these agencies or by contacting the Bureau of
Labor Statistics’ Regional Office which services your

Appendix D. Glossary of Term s

Average lost workdays per lost workday case

The number of workdays lost divided by the number of lost
workday cases.

Cooperative program

A program jointly conducted by the States and the Federal
Government to collect occupational injury and illness
statistics.

Employment-size group

A grouping of establishments with a specified range of
employment.

Incidence rate

Mean. Number of injuries and/or illnesses, or lost workdays
experienced by 100 full-time workers. The rate is calculated
as:
N x 200,000, where
EH
N = number of occupational injuries and/or illnesses, or lost
workdays
EH = total hours worked by all employees during calendar
year
200,000 = base for 100 full-time equivalent workers (work­
ing 40 hours per week, 50 weeks 'per year).
The fatality rate, however, represents the number of
fatalities per 1,000 workers.
Median. Incidence rate is the middle measure in the
distribution—
one-half of the establishments have an inci­
dence rate more than and half less than the median rate.
Middle range. (Interquartile) is defined by two measures—
one-fourth of the establishments have a rate less than the
first quartile and one-fourth a rate more than the third
quartile rate.

Lost workday cases

Cases which involve days away from work, or days of
restricted work activity, or both.
(1) Lost workday cases involving days away from work
Those cases which result in days away from work,
or a combination of days away from work and days
of restricted work activity.
(2) Lost workday cases involving restricted work activity

and death, or the length of the illness; or
(2) Lost workday cases, other than fatalities, that result
in lost workdays; or
(3) Nonfatal cases without lost workdays, which result
in transfer to another job or termination of employ­
ment, or require medical treatment, or involve loss
of consciousness, or restriction of work or motion.
This category also includes any diagnosed occupa­
tional illnesses which are reported to the employer
but are not classified as fatalities or lost workday
cases.

Report form

Refers to survey form OSHA No. 103 which is completed
and returned by the selected sample unit.

Standard industrial
classification (SIC)

A classification system developed by the Office of Statisti­
cal Standards, Office of Management and Budget, Executive
Office of the President, for use in the classification of
establishments by type of activity in which engaged. Each
establishment is assigned an industry code for its major
activity which is determined by the product or group of
