Work Injuries in the United States During 1945
Summary
More than 2 million work injuries occurred during 1945. This
figure is about 9% percent below that for 1944 and marks the lowest
point since 1940.
The total actual time loss caused by disabling work injuries during
1945, is estimated at about 45,600,000 man-days, or the equivalent of
full-time employment for about 152,000 workers for 1 year. This
figure makes no allowance for the future economic losses occasioned
by deaths and permanent impairments. If standard time charges
are allowed for these types of work injuries, the total economic loss
caused by work injuries during 1945 comes to 231,264,000 days, or
the full-time annual employment of about 771,000 workers.
The number of work fatalities during 1945 remained essentially
unchanged from the 1944 level. The estimate is 16,000. Another
1,800 workers were estimated to have been permanently and totally
disabled for industrial employment. About 88,100 workers suffered
lesser permanent impairments which will not disable them from con
tinuing in industrial employment, but many of which may require
retraining or changes in jobs. Fully 75 percent of these impairments
involved a hand or fingers. Most of the work injuries, nearly
1,914,000, resulted in temporary total disabilities. The duration of
such disabilities in manufacturing averaged 19 days.
Although the over-all number of work injuries in manufacturing
decreased substantially from the 1944 level, the incidence of such
injuries, as measured by the frequency rate, remained almost un
changed. Against an average of 18.4 disabling injuries per million
employee-hours in 1944, the 1945 average was 18.6.
Nevertheless, in most manufacturing industries frequency rates
were below the 1944 levels. Out of 118 industries for which compa
rable data were available, only 17 showed increases of more than 1
point in the frequency rate. In 70 others the trend was downward,
and in the remainder the change was insignificant. Of 43 nonmanu-
(1)
2
facturing industries, 12 showed increases, 7 decreases, and 22 others
indicated little change.
Industries outstanding for their high frequency rates were logging,
stevedoring, sawmills, iron foundries, veneer and plywood mills,
breweries, structural clay products, wooden containers, trucking and
hauling, warehousing and storage, and highway and building con
struction.
Estimates of Disabling Work Injuries
Continuing the downward trend from the peak wartime level of
1943, the total of 1945 injuries was lower than that for 1944. The
reduction from the 1944 figure of 2,230,400 to the 1945 total of 2,019,800 amounts to about 9 % percent. The 1945 figure is lower than that
for any year since 1940, but is still slightly above the total for that
prewar year.
Much of the reduction during 1945 was due to the shift away from
war work, a general shortening of the workweek, plant shut-downs for
the purpose of reconversion or because of strikes, and a shift to a more
normal type of work force. There is evidence, however, that many
establishments are giving up entirely or are curtailing the safety work
initiated during the war.

The estimated total of 16,000 fatalities resulting from work injuries
is only 100 above that for 1944 (15,900). There is a similar difference
MANUFACTURING INDUSTRIES EXPERIENCING MORE THAN 20.000
INDUSTRIAL INJURIES IN 1945
4
in the number of permanent total disabilities, estimated at 1,800 in
1945. But both permanent partial and temporary total disabilities
are down considerably from the corresponding 1944 levels. The 1945
total of 88,100 p^m anent partial disabilities is about 7 percent below
1944, and the number of 1,913,000 temporary total disabilities is
about 10 percent lower.
The major industry group with the greatest number of disabling
work injuries during 1945 was manufacturing. The total of 591,600,
however, was about 25 percent below the 1944 level of 786,900. In
1945, 2,700 manufacturing injuries resulted fatally, 31,000 were per
manent impairments (of which 300 were permanent total disabilities),
and the remainder, 557,900, were temporary total disabilities.
As in past years, the available but very meager information for
agriculture indicates that this industry suffered the largest number
of fatalities, 4,500. The estimated injury total of 305,600, although
substantially below that for manufacturing, nevertheless exceeds thiat
for any other major industrial group except the one including miscel
laneous industries, government, and services.
The injury experience in mining and quarrying during 1945 was
considerably better than in 1944. The total of 82,100 was nearly
11 percent lower than the 1944 total. The number of fatalities simi
larly declined from about 1,700 in 1944 to about 1,500 in 1945.
In the large group of services, government, and miscellaneous indus
tries, the injury total dropped appreciably from 419,300 in 1944 to
378,000 in 1945. On the other hand, a small increase was found for
railroads, while construction disabilities increased from 99,600 to
112,200, of which 1,700 were fatalities. In the trade group, the total
rose from 273,800 to 296,000, and the public utilities group had an
increase of 1,000 over its 1944 total of 19,300. The miscellaneous
transportation group also registered a small increase, from 135,100
to 139,900.
Injury-Frequency Rates
MANUFACTURING
Although the largest number of manufacturing industries experi
enced decreases in their injury-frequency rates, the frequency rate
for the entire group went up slightly, from 18.4 in 1944 to 18.6 in 1945.
Out of 118 identical manufacturing industries covered in the surveys
of both years, 70 had decreases of 1 or more frequency points, and
only 17 had increases. In 31 others the change was negligible.
For the entire group, nearly 36,000 establishments with more than
9 million workers reported their injury experiences to the Bureau.
Of the total of more than 350,000 reported injuries, 0.5 percent ended
fatally or in permanent total disability, 5.2 percent resulted in perma-
-If—o&WZZl
6
nent partial impairments, and the greatest proportion, 94.3 percent,
in temporary total disability. The average time charge per perma
nent partial impairment was 968 days, and the average duration of
temporary total disabilities was 19 days. Both of these averages are
above the 1944 figures. Particularly significant is the increase in the
average duration of temporary total disability, from 17 to 19 days.
As in past years, the logging industry led all other manufacturing
industries with a rate of 92.0—an appreciable increase over the 1944
rate of 85.4. Second, but still far ahead of other manufacturing in
dustries, were sawmills, with a rate of 56.6—only slightly worse than
the 1944 rate of 55.6. Iron foundries had a rate of 44.8, and veneer
mills, of 44.6; rates for each of these industries were computed for
the first time in this survey. The rate for breweries declined from
46.2 to 43.5, but still ranked sixth highest among manufacturing
industries. The average number of disabling injuries per million
employee-hours worked declined sharply in the wooden container
industry, from 47.1 to 41.1, but still remained one of the highest in
the group.
The explosives industry, usually regarded as extremely hazardous,
had the lowest frequency rate among manufacturing industries in
1945—3.6. When accidents did occur, however, they were very
serious—7.4 percent resulted in death or permanent total disability,
and 12.0 percent in permanent partial impairments. The average
duration of temporary total disabilities was 49 days.
Similarly low frequency rates were found for the millinery industry
(4.0), bookbinding (4.2), the manufacture of women's and children's
clothes (4.6), and electric light bulbs (5.1).
NONMANUFACTURING
Stevedoring operations outranked every other industry in this
group with a frequency rate of 87.6, only slightly below the 1944 rate
of 88.1. It is very likely, however, that both of these rates fall con
siderably short of the true frequency rate for this industry.
Trucking and hauling, with less than half the stevedoring rate,
ranked second highest in this group with a rate of 37.5, a slight im
provement over the 1944 rate of 38.3. A slight rate decrease was ex
perienced also by highway construction, from 36 0 to 35.8. A more
sizable decrease in rate was found for the warehousing and storage
industry, from 37.5 to 34.3. The 1945 rate for building construction,
30.9, was almost the same as the 1944 rate, 30.6.
Each of the five industries with the lowest frequency rates in non
manufacturing had a rate less than the lowest rate experienced by
any of the manufacturing industries. Thus, the rate for radio
7
broadcasting was 1.7; apparel retailing, 2.2; insurance 2.8; and for
banks and telephone, 3.0, respectively.
Whereas most of the manufacturing industries registered fre
quency-rate decreases, the trend among nonmanufacturing industries
was more evenly divided. Out of 43 identical classifications, 12 had
higher rates in 1945 than in 1944, 7 had lower rates, and 22 showed
little difference.
Appendix Tables
Injury-frequency rates for a large number of individual industries
in both manufacturing and nonmanufacturing are shown in table A.
Group frequency rates were arrived at by weighting .individual
industry rates according to the total employment in each.
A considerable number of new industries are shown for the 1945
survey. As the reporting group for a given industry becomes suffi
ciently large, the industry is taken out of the miscellaneous group.
Thus, the single industry “electrical equipment and supplies” in the
1944 survey is shown as seven separate industries in the 1945 survey.
The number of industries shown in table A is the largest ever covered
in any of these surveys.
Other tables continue for 1945 the type of data shown in earlier
years: changes in employment, exposure, and injuries; total injury
estimates for individual industries; the distribution of permanent
impairments according to body parts affected; and the trend data
for the chart shown on page 5.

1 Based on reports which furnished details regarding the resulting disabUities, constituting approximately 60 percent of the total sample.
2 The frequency rate is the average number of disabling injuries for each million employee-hours worked. The severity rate is the average number of days lost for each thousand
employee-hours worked. The standard time-loss ratings for fatalities and permanent disabilities are given in M ethod of Compiling Industrial Injury Rates, approved by the American
Standard Association 1945.
3 Each death or permanent total disability is charged with the time loss of 6,000 days in the computation of severity rates.
• Weighted according to estimates of total current employment in each industry.
• DisabiUty distribution and average time charges not given because of small number of injuries for which details were reported.
• Less than 0.06.
i Preliminary data compiled by the Bureau of Mines, U. S. Department of Interior.
• N ot avaUable.
• Prim arily reported by company instead of by establishment.
