Bulletin 7s[o. 700 o f the
U nited States Bureau o f Labor Statistics

Indu striaU nju ry Statistics, by States
The purpose of this bulletin is to present, in convenient form, injury
rates by industry and State, as well as for the country as a whole.
The period covered is the year 1940. An earlier r ep ort1 of the Bureau
gave such information for individual industries, based upon compa­
rable reports for both 1939 and 1940, for all States combined.
Importance o f Industrial-Injury Statistics

The periodic collection and dissemination of information relating to
the occurrence of industrial injuries is one of the regular functions of the
Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Even in normal times the economic loss and human suffering revealed
by these studies has been very impressive, and has led to much serious
thought and earnest effort directed toward the eventual elimination of
work accidents.
The advent of wartime conditions, accompanied by sharply increas­
ing industrial activity in many lines of work, has accentuated existing
work hazards, and has created many new hazards. Concurrently the
pressure for maximum production has emphasized the tremendous loss
arising from industrial injuries, not only in money, but also in the
effect upon total production. The realization that safety activity
must be increased has given rise to a demand for more detailed informa­
tion to guide those who are responsible for the development of intensive
safety programs.
The general purpose of these surveys of the Bureau has been to
stimulate accident-prevention work: First, through the collection of
sufficient information to justify making national estimates of the
number of industrial injuries occurring each year and of the total
economic loss, expressed in man-days of work, resulting from those
injuries; and, second, to indicate the varying degrees of hazards exist­
ing in specific industries. Comparisons of the hazards in different
industries serve to guide public-safety activity into the particular
industries in which such activity is most needed, and the year-to-year
comparison of the relative hazards in particular industries serves as a
measure of the effectiveness of the safety programs being applied in
those industries.

INDUSTRIAL-INJURY STATISTICS

Meaning o f Frequency and Severity Rates

The standard units used by the Bureau to indicate relative hazards
are frequency and severity rates. The frequency rate represents the
average number of injuries occurring during each million employeehours worked. The severity rate represents the average number of
days lost because of industrial injuries for each thousand employeehours worked. In computing the number of days lost the Bureau
follows the procedure given in M ethod of Compiling Industrial Inj ury
Rates, approved by the American Standards Association in 1937.
Coverage of 1940 Survey
In the survey of industrial injuries during 1940 reports were received
from over 37,000 establishments. Of these, 29,442 establishments
supplied corresponding information for the year 1939. As already
noted, a previous report of the Bureau of Labor Statistics summar­
ized the records of the establishments which reported for the 2 years,
and presented a comparison of the changes in injury frequency and
severity between 1939 and 1940 for each of the industries covered.
That report also presented estimates of the total number of industrial
injuries occurring in the United States during 1940, and an index
series indicating the general trend of injuries in the manufacturing
industries since 1926.
Comparisons by States and Industries

The present report summarizes all of the data supplied by the entire
group of establishments reporting for the year 1940.
In table 1 these data have been classified by industry upon a national
basis, and comparative frequency and severity rates have been com ­
puted for each industry.
In table 2 the data have been classified not only by industry, but
also according to the State in which the reporting establishments were
located.
It is believed that comparison of the frequency and severity rates
for particular industries within the several States will be of use in
evaluating the various safety activities carried on in different localities.
T o a considerable extent the State frequency and severity rates vary
with the existence and quality of legally imposed safety codes, and the
degree of compliance with such codes achieved by the agencies re­
sponsible for their enforcement. Other local conditions, such as the
average size of the establishments, the relative ages of the establish­
ments, the relative experience of the employees, and the existence of
hazards peculiar to operations in particular areas, however, are also

reflected in the State rates and should be considered in making such
comparisons.
The number of industries for which reports were received varied
considerably among the different States and, similarly, the propor­
tionate amount of coverage in the different industries varied from State
to State. In order to make available as great a volume of information
as possible, the requirements relating to the inclusion of particular
industries in the listings for the various States were held to an absolute
minimum. The tabulation for each State, therefore, includes every
industry for which the Bureau received reports covering, first, either
a minimum of 500 employees or 1,000,000 employee-hours worked,
and, second, not less than 3 establishments.
It is believed that in most instances the State frequency and severity
rates are representative, and that they may safely be compared with
those for corresponding industries in other States or in the national
tabulation. In making such comparisons, however, consideration
should be given to the size of the sample upon which the rates are
based.
