Preface

Data for this publication were collected in accordance
with the provisions of the Occupational Safety and
Health Act of 1970. Estimates represent the injury and
illness experience of employers in private sector
establishments for 1983 and 1984. Report forms were
mailed to employers in the year following the reference
year of each survey.
This bulletin was prepared in the Office of Occupa­
tional Safety and Health Statistics, William M.
Eisenberg, Acting Associate Commissioner, under the
direction of John Inzana by Elyce Anne Biddle, Diane M.




Cotter, Beverly Gray, Janet Macon, and Chao Ling
Wang of the Division of Periodic Surveys. Data were
collected and tabulated in the Office of Survey Process­
ing in cooperation with the regional offices of the
Bureau of Labor Statistics and the State agencies which
received Federal funds for participating in the Annual
Survey of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses.

Definitions

are the number of
workdays (consecutive or not) on which the employee
would have worked but could not because of occupa­
tional injury or illness.

The definitions of occupational injuries and illnesses
and lost workdays are from R e c o rd k e e p in g R eq u ire­

L o s t w o rk d a y s— a w a y f r o m w o rk

are the number
of workdays (consecutive or not) on which, because of
injury or illness:
1. The employee was assigned to another job on a
temporary basis; or
2. The employee worked at a permanent job less than
full time; or
3. The employee worked at a permanently assigned
job but could not perform all duties normally connected
with it.

R e c o rd a b le o c c u p a tio n a l in ju ries a n d illnesses are:

L o s t w o rk d a y s— re stric te d w o rk a c tiv ity

1. Occupational deaths, regardless of the time be­
tween injury and death, or the length of the illness; or
2. Nonfatal occupational illnesses; or
3. Nonfatal occupational injuries which involve one
or more of the following: Loss of consciousness, restric­
tion of work or motion, transfer to another job, or
medical treatment (other than first aid).
O ccu p a tio n a l in ju ry is any injury such as a cut, fracture,
sprain, amputation, etc., which results from a work ac­
cident or from exposure involving a single incident in
the work environment.

jury or onset of illness or any days on which the
employee would not have worked even though able to
work.

O ccu p a tio n a l illness is any abnormal condition or
disorder, other than one resulting from an occupational
injury, caused by exposure to environmental factors
associated with employment. It includes acute and
chronic illnesses or disease which may be caused by in­
halation, absorption, ingestion, or direct contact.

Occupational Injuries and
Illnesses, 1984

Total Injuries and Illnesses

As in the past, meatpacking plants (S I C 2011), mobile
homes (sic 2451), and structural wood members, ex­
perienced the highest injury and illness incidence rates in
the private sector (text table 2). Of the 10 industries with
the highest injury and illness incidence rates, two ex­
perienced a decline in rates from the 1983 levels. Struc­
tural wood members, n.e.c. declined by 4 percent, and
self-contained mobile homes (sic 3716) declined by 2
percent. Both industries maintained their 1983 rank
order. The largest overall increase in the rates—just
over 70 percent in 1983—occurred in hoists, cranes, and
monorails (sic 3536). This industry jumped to 8th place
in 1984 from 119th place in 1983. The 10 industries in
this list were from the manufacturing division.

Incidence rates (per 100 full-time workers)

For every 100 full-time workers in the private sector
in 1984, eight injuries or illnesses were reported, for an
incidence rate of 8.0. This estimate was based on reports
of work-related cases resulting in death, diagnosed ill­
ness, and those injuries requiring medical treatment
beyond first-aid. It represents the experience of approx­
imately 79 million workers throughout the private sector
of the U.S. economy. Farms with fewer than 11
employees were not included in this estimate.
The rise in the injury and illness incidence rate for all
industries from 1983 to 1984 was about 5 percent. (See
text table 1 for rates.) Although the 1984 rate is counter
to the general downward trend since 1979, it is below the
rates of all years prior to 1982. Moreover, the rate has
decreased by nearly 40 percent since the record high of
11.0 in 1973.

Number of injuries and illnesses

During 1984, there were approximately 5.4 million in­
cidents of occupational injuries and illnesses. This is an
increase of 12 percent over the 1983 figure of about 4.9
million. The largest increase in total cases was in the
mining division. The smallest increase occurred in the
finance, insurance, and real estate division. The goodsproducing sector saw an increase of 13 percent over
1983 while the service-producing sector experienced a
10-percent increase in total cases.
The goods-producing sector contributed roughly onehalf of the total cases while employing about one-third
of the private sector workers. The manufacturing divi­
sion alone accounted for about 40 percent of these cases
while having 25 percent of the workers. On the other
hand, slightly less than half of all injury and illness cases
occurred in the service-producing sector, which
employed nearly 70 percent of the workforce in 1984.
As in years past, the majority of cases were injuries.
Illness cases constituted only 2 percent of the total
number of cases estimated for 1984. The largest propor­
tion of illness cases was in agriculture, forestry, and
fishing and in manufacturing, each having about 4 per­
cent. The smallest was in wholesale and retail trade with
less than 1 percent.

2To maintain the comparability of the survey data for these years with the
rest of the series, a statistical method was developed for generating the
estimates to represent small nonfarm employers in low-risk industries who
were not surveyed.

Injuries
An occupational injury is any injury which results
from a work-related accident or from exposure involv­
ing a single incident in the work environment. All in-

NOTE: Data for 1972 did not include estimates for agricultural production,
railroads, and most of mining. Data for 1975-84 exclude farms with fewer

one-fifth of the total. In construction, the increase was
primarily among general building contractors (sic 15)
and special trade contractors (sic 17). Most of the in­
crease in the manufacturing division was related to in­
creases in the following durable goods industries:
Fabricated metal products (sic 34), machinery, except
electrical (sic 35), electric and electronic equipment (sic
36), and transportation equipment (Sic 37).
In the service-producing sector, the number of injury
cases rose by 236,000 in 1984. About 60 percent of the
increase came from seven industries—trucking and
warehousing (sic 42), transportation by air (sic 45),
wholesale trade in durable goods (sic 50), food stores
(sic 54), eating and drinking places (sic 58), hotels and
other lodging places (sic 70), and business services (Sic
73).
The manufacturing industry accounted for the largest
proportion of all occupational injury cases, nearly 40
percent, while contributing about 25 percent of the total
hours worked. Within manufacturing, almost twothirds of all injury cases were in durable goods in­
dustries. Agriculture, forestry, and fishing; mining; and
finance, insurance, and real estate each contributed less
than 2 percent of the total number of occupational in­
jury cases.

juries involving death, lost worktime, restriction of
work or motion, loss of consciousness, transfer to
another job, or medical treatment other than first aid
are recorded.
Incidence rates (per 100 full-time workers)

Occupational injuries occurred at a rate of 7.8 cases
per 100 full-time workers during 1984. Finance, in­
surance, and real estate continued to experience the
lowest incidence rate, 1.9. Construction, with a rate of
15.4, continued as the highest industry division. Injury
rates in all industry divisions rose except for agriculture,
forestry, and fishing and for finance, insurance, and
real estate, which remained the same. The largest in­
crease—14 percent—occurred in the mining division.
The goods-producing sector (agriculture, forestry, and
fishing; mining; construction; and manufacturing) had
the highest rate, 11.0 per 100 full-time workers. The
service-producing sector (services; wholesale and retail
trade; transportation and public utilities; and finance,
insurance, and real estate) had a lower rate—6.0.
The rate for work-related injuries continued to be
highest in the employment size group of 100 to 249
workers. In this category, mining recorded the largest
increase, while finance, insurance, and real estate show­
ed the largest decrease. The private sector rates in­
creased in all employment size groups, except for
establishments with 1,000 to 2,499 employees, which
showed no change.

Illnesses
An occupational illness is any abnormal condition or
disorder, other than one resulting from an occupational
injury, caused by exposure to environmental factors
associated with employment. Acute and chronic ill­
nesses or diseases which may be caused by inhalation,
absorption, ingestion, or direct contact are included.
Occupational illnesses measured in the survey cover the
number of new illness cases recorded during the year.
The survey does not measure continuing conditions
reported in previous years. Illnesses are recorded only

Number of injuries

In 1984, about 5.3 million injuries occurred compared
with 4.7 million in 1983. About 60 percent of the in­
crease, or 311,000 cases, was in the goods-producing
sector. The greatest increase was in the mining industry
with a jump of 19 percent. Oil and gas extraction (sic
13) was the primary contributor to the mining division
increase, adding approximately 73,000 cases or about

for the year in which they are recognized as work
related.
The recording and reporting of illnesses continue to
present measurement problems in that employers (and
even physicians) are often unable to recognize some ill­
nesses as being work related. To the extent that occupa­
tional illnesses are unrecognized and therefore
unreported, the survey underestimates their occurrence.

percent of occupational skin diseases or disorders
declined steadily. During the 5-year period, 1980-84, it
dropped by more than one-fifth, from 43 percent to 34
percent.
While recorded skin diseases were declining in relative
terms, disorders associated with repeated trauma were
showing a steady relative increase. In 1980, this category
accounted for nearly 20 percent of all recorded illness
cases. By 1984, it had reached about 30 percent. The in­
creased recognition of certain illnesses in this category,
such as carpal tunnel syndrome (nerve disorder of the
wrist), and hearing loss, may have contributed to the in­
creased proportion of cases.

Incidence rates (per 10,000 full-time workers)

During 1984, occupational illnesses occurred at a rate
of approximately 18 per 10,000 full-time workers for the
private sector. Incidence rates by division ranged from
3.7 in finance, insurance, and real estate to 43.8 in
agriculture, forestry, and fishing and in manufacturing.

Worktime Lost
Two measures are currently used as estimates of
worktime lost: (1) lost workday cases, which primarily
measures the occurrence of incidents; and (2) days lost,
which indicates the severity of the cases. Lost worktime
includes both days away from work and days of
restricted work activity.
Lost workday cases include those cases which result in
days away from work or a combination of days away
from work and restricted work activity. Cases involving
restricted activity only are those in which the employee
reported to work but could not perform all the duties of
the job.

Number of cases

Approximately 124,800 occupational illnesses were
recorded during 1984, compared with 106,100 in 1983,
about 20 percent more. Manufacturing accounted for
nearly 60 percent of all reported cases. Mining con­
tributed the fewest cases, 1,300, or about 1 percent of
the total.
The number of cases rose in all industry divisions with
the exception of agriculture, forestry, and fishing,
which experienced a slight decline. The greatest change
from 1983 occurred in manufacturing, with a 21-percent
increase.

Incidence rates (per 100 full-time workers)

Distribution patterns

During 1984, lost workday cases for both injury and
illness occurred at a rate of 3.7 per 100 full-time workers
for the private sector, compared to a rate of 3.4 in 1983.
Rates among the industry divisions ranged from 0.9 in
finance, insurance, and real estate to 6.9 in construc­
tion.
For lost workday injury cases, the 1984 rate was 3.6.
In this category, agriculture, forestry, and fishing showed
the only divisional decrease in 1984. Mining had the
greatest increase, up 20 percent in 1984.

Prior to 1980, skin diseases or disorders consistently
accounted for the plurality of all recorded occupational
illness cases, between 40 and 45 percent (text table 3).
Beginning in that year, a new pattern emerged.
Although remaining above 40 percent until 1982, the

Number of lost worktime cases

There were approximately 2.5 million lost workday
injury and illness cases in 1984, compared to about 2.2
million in 1983. The distribution of these cases was un­
changed from 1983: Lost workday cases due to injuries
were 98 percent of the total and lost workday cases due
to illness made up the balance.
The manufacturing division had the largest number
of lost workday cases, about 870,000, or 35 percent of
the total. This was 44 percent of the total injury and ill­
ness cases in manufacturing. Between 51 and 59 percent
of the cases in agriculture, forestry, and fishing; mining;

Incidence rates (per 100,000 full-time workers)

The injury and illness fatality rate was 6.4 per 100,000
full-time workers in 1984 (text table 4). Among industry
divisions, rates ranged from 41.4 per 100,000 full-time
workers in mining to 1.9 in finance, insurance, and real
estate (text table 5).
Number of fatalities

The number of occupational fatalities in private sec­
tor establishments with 11 employees or more was 3,740
in 1984. During the year, 800 lives were lost in manufac­
turing, 21 percent of all fatalities and the highest in­
dustry figure, while 80 were lost in finance, insurance,
and real estate, only 2 percent of the total.

The greatest change occurred in the construction divi­
sion, which had an increase of 23 percent in the number
of lost workday cases, to 259,000 cases in 1984 from
210,000 in 1983.
Lost workdays

Approximately 43 million days were lost due to oc­
cupational injuries or illnesses in 1984. The average
number of days lost per case was 17, unchanged from
1983.
Manufacturing industries had the greatest number of
lost workdays, 14.6 million, while finance, insurance,
and real estate had the fewest, 690,000 days. Average
lost workdays per case ranged from 30 days in mining to
15 days in agriculture, forestry, and fishing; wholesale
and retail trade; and finance, insurance, and real estate.
The average number of lost workdays due to illnesses
was equal to or greater than those attributable to in­
juries in all but three divisions: Agriculture, forestry,
and fishing; mining; and services.

Objects or events associated with fatalities

The majority of deaths in the private sector were at­
tributable to five causes: Highway vehicles, heart at­
tacks, industrial vehicles or equipment, falls, and elec­
trocutions. Car and truck accidents caused more than
one-fourth of the work-related deaths; about one-eighth
resulted from heart attacks; and industrial vehicles or
equipment, falls, and electrocutions each contributed

Industry division

1 Employment is expressed as an annual average and is derived primarily
from the BLS-State Current Employment Statistics program. Employment
estimates have been adjusted based on data provided by the Annual Survey
of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses to exclude establishments with fewer
than 11 employees.
2The incidence rates represent the number of fatalities per 100,000 full­
time workers and were calculated as: (N/EH) X 200,000,000, where

Structural and Cyclical Changes
Affecting Injuries and Illnesses
Variability in incidence rates over the years is closely
linked to fluctuations in the business cycle. Higher in­
jury and illness incidence rates are associated with in­
creased business activity and vice versa. As the activity
level increases, incidence rates may rise because
employers hire young and inexperienced workers, re­
quire more overtime, and introduce new and unfamiliar
machinery and/or equipment.
In addition to changes in the business cycle, changes
in the distribution of the labor force, all other things be­
ing equal, affect incidence rates. The structure of the
labor force has been changing steadily since 1976. At
that time, 60 percent of the total hours worked in the
private sector were in the service-producing industries.
The remaining 40 percent were in the goods-producing
industries. By 1984, service-producing industries
claimed 64 percent (the same as in 1983) of the hours
worked and goods-producing the rest.
As stated previously, incidence rates of industries in
the goods-producing sector were higher that those in the
service-producing sector in 1984. Rates in the goodsproducing sector ranged from 9.7 in mining to 15.5 in
construction as opposed to the service-producing sector
range of 1.9 in finance, insurance, and real estate to 8.8
in transportation and public utilities. Since the relative
proportion of employment hours increased in the lower
risk sector, the private sector incidence rate is somewhat
lower. If employment hours had been distributed as
they were in 1976, the 1984 private sector injury and
illness incidence rate would have been 8.3 rather than

2 2 .8

assaults, entrapments, explosions, aircraft crashes, gas

other than vehicles or equipment, and other causes.
Highway vehicles were the leading cause of death in
all industry divisions except construction and mining. In
the construction division, employees who died after fall­
ing accounted for the plurality of deaths, 23 percent of
the total. Accidents involving industrial vehicles or

To maintain comparability with the rest of the series, a statistical method
was used for generating the estimates to represent the small nonfarm
employers in low-risk industries who were not surveyed for 1983 and 1984.
The estimating procedure involved averaging the data reported by small
employers for the 1980, 1981, and 1982 surveys.

N
EH

= number of injuries and illnesses or lost workdays
= total hours worked by all employees during the calendar
year
200,000 = base for 100 full-time workers (working 40 hours per
week, 50 weeks per year).

2 Totals for divisions and 2- and 3-digit SIC codes include data for
industries not shown separately.
3 S ta n d a rd In d u s tria l C la ss ific atio n M a n u a l,
S up plem en t.

1972 Edition,

6 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 may not reflect the fatality rate.

1977

7 Excludes farms with fewer than 11 employees.

4 Employment is expressed as an annual average and is derived primarily
from the BLS-State Current Employment and Earnings Survey. Annual
average employment for the agriculture, forestry, and fishing division is a
composite of employment data for agricultural production (SIC’s 01 and 02)
as obtained from the Annual Survey of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses
and employment data for agricultural services (SIC 07); forestry (SIC 08); and
fishing, hunting, and trapping (SIC 09) as obtained from State unemployment
insurance programs.

8
Data conforming to OSHA definitions for employers in the railroad
industry and for mining operators in coal, metal, and nonmetal mining were
provided to BLS by the Federal Railroad Administration, U.S. Department of
Transportation and the Mine Safety and Health Administration, U.S.
Department of Labor. Independent mining contractors are excluded from the
coal, metal, and nonmetal mining industries.
NOTE: Dashes indicate that data do not meet publication guidelines.
Because of rounding, the components may not add to totals.

5 Incidence rates represent the number of injuries and illnesses per 100
full-time workers and were calculated as:
(N/EH) X 200,000 where,




n.a. — data not available,
n.e.c. = not elsewhere classified.

To maintain comparability with the rest of the series, a statistical method
was used for generating the estimates to represent the small nonfarm
employers in low-risk industries who were not surveyed for 1983 and 1984.
The estimating procedure involved averaging the data reported by small
employers for 1980, 1981, and 1982 surveys.

s 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 may not reflect the fatality rate.

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

Data conforming to OSHA definitions for employers in the railroad
industry and for mining operators in coal, metal, and nonmetal mining were
provided to BLS by the Federal Railroad Administration, U.S. Department of
Transportation and the Mine Safety and Health Administration, U.S. Depart‘ment of Labor. Independent mining contractors are excluded from the coal,
metal, and nonmetal mining industries.

* Incidence rates represent the number of injuries or lost workdays per
100 full-time workers and were calculated as: (N/EH) X 200,000 where,

NOTE: Dashes indicate data that do not meet publication guidelines.
Because of rounding the components may add to a sum greater than the
total.

5 Also includes cases which involved both days away from work and days
of restricted work activity.

1 To maintain comparability with the rest of the series a statistical method
was used for generating the estimates to represent the small nonfarm
employers in low-risk industries who were not surveyed for 1983 and 1984.
The estimating procedure involved averaging the data reported by small
employers for 1980, 1981, and 1982 surveys.

6 The number of days of restricted work activity includes those resulting
from cases involving restricted work only and days resulting from cases
involving days away from work and days of restricted work activity.

2 Industry division totals include data for industries not shown seperately.
7 Excludes farms with fewer than 11 employees.

4 Incidence rates represent the number of lost workday injuries or lost
workdays per 100 full-time workers and were calculated as: (N/EH) X
200,000 where,
N
EH

= number of lost workday injuries or lost workdays
= total hours worked by all employees during the calendar
year
200,000 = base for 100 full-time workers (working 40 hours per
week, 50 weeks per year).

8 Data conforming to OSHA definitions for employers in the railroad
industry and for mining operators in coal, metal, and nonmetal mining were
provided to BLS by the Federal Railroad Administration, U.S. Departmentof
Transportation and the Mine Federal Railroad Administration, U.S.
Department of Transportation. Independent mining contractors are excluded
from the coal, metal, and nonmetal mining industries.
9 Incidence rates less than 0.05.
NOTE: Dashes indicate data that do not meet publication guidelines.
Because of rounding, components may add to a sum greater than the

Method of Survey
Scope

Neyman allocation and a ratio estimator. The
characteristics used to stratify the establishments are the
Standard Industrial Classification (sic) code and
employment. Since these characteristics are highly cor­
related with an establishment’s number and rate of
recorded injuries and illnesses, stratified sampling pro­
vides greater precision and, thus, results in a smaller
sample size. The Neyman allocation produces the
minimum sample size which will provide an estimate
with a given sampling variance. For the larger employ­
ment size classes, the allocation procedure places all of
the etablishments of the frame in the sample; as employ­
ment decreases, smaller and smaller proportions of
establishments are included in the sample. The certainty
strata are usually the size groups with more than 100
employees. The precision of the sample is further im­
proved, hence permitting a reduction in sample size, by
using the ratio estimator which in turn uses employment
data that are correlated with the characteristics which
are to be measured.
The sample is designed to produce data at the 2-digit
sic industry level in agriculture, forestry, and fishing;
the 3-digit level in oil and gas extraction; construction;
transportation and public utilities; wholesale and retail
trade; finance, insurance, and real estate; services; and
the 4-digit level in manufacturing.

The occupational injury and illness data reported
through the annual survey are based on records which
employers in the following 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; manufacturing, sic
20-39; transportation and public utilities, sic 41-42 and
44-49; wholesale and retail trade, sic 50-59; finance, in­
surance, and real estate, sic 60-67; and services sic
70-87 and 89. Excluded from the survey are selfemployed individuals; farmers with fewer than 11
employees; employers regulated by other Federal safety
and health laws; and Federal, State, and local govern­
ment agencies.
Data conforming to definitions of recordable occupa­
tional injuries and illnesses for coal, metal, and
nonmetal mining, and railroad transportation are pro­
vided by the Mine Safety and Health Administration,
Department of Labor, and the Federal Railroad Ad­
ministration, Department of Transportation.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration
is responsible for the collection and compilation of com­
parable data for Federal agencies. Although State and
local government agencies are not surveyed for national
estimates, several States have legislation which enables
them to collect data for this sector.
The 1984 survey sample was composed of approx­
imately 280,000 sample units. Original and follow-up
mailings resulted in a response rate of 94 percent.

Estimating procedures
W eighting. By means of a weighting procedure, sample
units are made to represent all units in their size class for
a particular industry. The weight is determined by the in­
verse of the sampling ratio for the industry/employmentsize class from which the unit was selected. Because a
small proportion of survey forms are not returned,
weights of responding employers in a sampling cell are
adjusted to account for the nonrespondents. The
respondents are then shifted into the estimating cell
determined by the employment and business activity
reported. Data for each unit are multiplied by the ap­
propriate weight and nonresponse adjustment factor.
The products are then aggregated to obtain a total for
the estimating cell.

Sample

Because the survey is a Federal-State cooperative pro­
gram and the data must meet the needs of participating
State agencies, an independent sample is selected for
each State. The sample is selected to represent all private
industries in the States and territories. The sample size
for the survey is dependent upon (1) the characteristics
for which estimates are needed, (2) the industries for
which estimates are desired, (3) the characteristics of
the population being sampled, (4) the target reliability
of the estimates, and (5) the survey design employed.
While there are many characteristics upon which the
sample design could be based, the total recorded case in­
cidence rate is used because it is one of the most impor­
tant characteristics and the least variable; therefore, it
requires the smallest sample size.
The salient features of the sample design employed
are its use of stratified random sampling with a




Since the universe file which provides
the sample frame is not current to the reference year of
the survey, it is necessary to adjust the data to reflect
current employment levels. In the annual survey, all
estimates of totals are adjusted by the benchmark factor

at the estimating cell level. The benchmarking pro­
cedure requires a source of accurate employment data
which can be converted into annual average employ­
ment figures for the cell level in which separate
estimates are desired. Because industry/employment
size data are required for national estimates, benchmark
factors are calculated using both industry level employ­
ment data and size class level employment data. The
benchmark factors are applied to the size class “ blow
up” estimates.

sampling error of 2 percent. The chances are 2 out of 3
that a complete census would produce a rate between
15.7 and 15.1, and the chances are 19 out of 20 that the
rate produced from a complete count would be between
16.2 and 14.8. Similarly, the number of occupational in­
juries and illnesses estimated for Sic 15 was 150,780
with a relative error of 2 percent. Thus, the chances are
2 out of 3 that a census would show a number between
153,800 and 147,800 and 19 out of 20 that the number
would be within range of 156,800 and 144,700.
Nonsampling errors in the estimates can be attributed
to many sources, e.g., inability to obtain information
about all cases in the sample, mistakes in recording or
coding the data, definitional difficulties, etc. To
minimize the nonsampling errors in the estimates, the
completed forms are edited and apparent inconsisten­
cies are checked.

Federal-State cooperation

To eliminate duplicate reporting by respondents and
to insure maximum comparability of estimates, survey
respondents complete a single reporting form which is
then used for national and State estimates.
Industrial classification

Publication guidelines

Reporting units are classified into industries by their
principal product or activity. The data are tabulated ac­
cording to the 1972 edition of the S ta n d a rd In d u stria l

The estimating procedure generates occupational in­
jury and illness estimates for approximately 835 sic
codes. This publication, however, excludes estimates for
several industry codes if one of the following situations
occurred:
1. Estimates for the industry were based on reports
from fewer than three companies. Moreover, if three or
more companies reported data for the industry, one
firm could employ not more than 50 percent of the
workers or two companies combined could employ not
more than 75 percent.
2. 1984 annual average employment for the in­
dustry was less than 10,000. However, an industry with
an annual average employment of less than 10,000 was
published if the majority of the employment was
reported in the survey.
3. The relative standard error on total cases for the
industry at 1 standard error was more than 15 percent in
manufacturing and 20 percent in nonmanufacturing.
4. Benchmark factor for the industry was less than
0.90 or greater than 1.49.
Data for an unpublished industry were included in the
total for the broader industry level of which it is a part.
Also, selected items of data were suppressed for
publishable industries if the sampling error for the
estimate equaled or exceeded 60 percent.

Reliability of estimates

All estimates derived from a sample survey are sub­
ject to sampling and nonsampling errors. Sampling er­
rors occur because observations are made on a sample,
not on the entire population. Estimates based on the dif­
ferent possible samples of the same size and sample
design could differ. The relative standard errors, which
are a measure of the sampling error in the estimates, are
calculated as part of the survey’s estimation process.
When applied to the estimates, the sampling error
serves to define the confidence interval or range that
would include the comparable complete coverage value.
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 estimate would have
been in the range of 2 standard errors above and below
the estimated value.
As an example of the use of relative standard errors,
the total case incidence rate for general building con­
tractors (Sic 15) is 15.4 per 100 full-time workers, with a

Appendix B. Incidence Rates for
Safety Management

(The 200,000 hours in the formula represents the
equivalent of 100 employees working 40 hours per week,
50 weeks per year, and provides the standard base for
the incidence rates.)
NOTE: You can use the same formula to compute in­
cidence rates for:

Incidence rates can be used to show the relative level
of injuries and illnesses among different industries,
firms, or operations within a single firm. Because a
common base and a specific period of time are involved,
these rates can help determine both problem areas and
progress in preventing work-related injuries and ill­
nesses.

(1) The number of lost workday injuries and illnesses;
(2) The number of nonfatal injuries and illnesses
without lost workdays;
(3) Cases involving only injuries or only illnesses.

How to compute incidence rates

An incidence rate of occupational injuries and ill­
nesses can be calculated quickly and easily. The formula
requires:

Here is an example of how to compute an incidence
rate:
Jones Furniture Co. recorded 11 injuries and illnesses
(from log and summary, osha N o. 200). The total
Lours worked by all employees were 130,000 (from
payroll or other time records).

(a) The number o f injuries and illnesses. Count the
number of recordable cases from the Log and Summary
of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses, osha N o. 200
(Appendix C), or refer to the TOTALS line for the year­
ly total for fatalities, injuries and illnesses with lost
workdays, and injuries and illnesses without lost
workdays.

11

130,000

worked” should not include any nonwork time, even
though paid, such as vacation, sick leave, holidays, etc.
(If actual hours worked are not available for employees
paid on commission, by salary, or by the mile, etc.,
hours worked may be estimated on the basis of sched­
uled hours or 8 hours per workday.)
An incidence rate of injuries and illnesses may be
computed from the following formula:
=

N u m b e r o f in ju ries and
illn esses in y ou r firm
X 2 0 0 ,0 0 0

In cid en ce rate
fo r y ou r firm

(R o u n d to the
nearest ten th )
H o u r s w o rk ed by
all yo u r e m p lo y ees

In cid en ce rate

The incidence rate for your firm is the number of in­
juries and illnesses per 100 full-time employees.

(b) E m p lo y e e h o u rs w o rk ed




= 16.9

Therefore, Jones Furniture Co. experienced a rate of
16.9 injuries and illnesses per 100 full-time employees.
To compute an incidence rate for your own firm,
enter the data in the appropriate spaces below and com­
plete the formula.

(b) The number o f hours a ll employees actually
worked. Use payroll or other time records. “ Hours

Appendix C. OSHA No. 200S
Report Form and Instructions

Dear Em ployer:
The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 requires the Secretary of Labor to collect, compile, and analyze statis­
tics 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 compiling statistics. Establishments are selected for this sur­
vey 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 1984. 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) The OSHA No. 200-S form
and a copy for your files; and (3) An addressed return envelope. Please complete the OSHA No. 200-S form 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 the OSHA No. 200-S form.
Thank you for your cooperation with this important survey.

Sincerely,

ROBERT A. RO W LAND
Assistant Secretary for
Occupational Safety and Health

SECTION I.

ANNUAL AVERAGE EMPLOYMENT IN 1964

Enter in Section I the average (not the total) number of fu ll and part-tim e employees who
worked during calendar year 1984 in the establishment(s) included in this report If more
than one establishment is included in this report, add together the annual average employ
ment for each establishment and enter the sum. Include all classes of employees— seasonal,
temporary, administrative, supervisory, clerical, professional, technical, sales, delivery, in ­
stallation. construction and service personnel, as well as operators and related workers
Annual Average em ploym ent should be computed by summing the em ploym ent from all
pay periods during 1984 and then dividing that sum by the total number o f such pay periods
throughout the entire year, including periods w ith no employm ent. For example, if you had
the fo llow ing m on th ly em ploym ent— Jan.-10; Feb -10, Mar 10; A p r -5; May-5; June 5.
July-5, A u g -0. Sept.-O. Oct.-O; N o v -5, Dec.-5— you w ould sum the number of employees
for each m on th ly pay period (in this case. 60) and then divide that total by 12 (the number
of pay periods during the year) to derive an annual average em ploym ent of 5.
SECTION II.

TOTAL HOURS WORKED IN 1984

Enter in Section II the total number of hours actually worked by all classes o f employees
during 1984. Be sure to include O NLY time on d u ty DO NOT include any non-work time
even though paid, such as vacations, sick leave, holidays, etc. The hours worked figure should
be obtained from payroll or other tim e records wherever possible, if hours worked are not
maintained separately from hours paid, please enter your best estimate. If actual hours
worked are not available for employees paid on commission, salary, by the mile, etc., hours
worked may be estimated on the basis o f scheduled hours or 8 hours per workday.
For example, if a group of 10 salaried employees worked an average of 8 hours per day, 5
days a week, for 50 weeks o f the report period, the total hours worked for this qroup would
be 10 x 8 x 5 x 50 = 20.000 hours tor the report period.
SECTION III.

NATURE OF BUSINESS IN 1984

In order to verify the nature of business code, we must have inform ation about the specific
economic a ctivity carried on by the establishment(s) included in your report during calendar
year 1984
Complete Parts A . Band C as indicated in Section III on the OSHA No. 200-S form . Complete
Part C only if supporting services are provided to other establishments o f your company.
Leave Part C blank if a) supporting services are not the prim ary function o f any establish
ment(s) included in this report or b) supporting services are provided but only on a contract or
fee basis fo r the general public or for other business firms (Instructions continued on page 2.)

NOTE:

If more than one establishment is included, inform ation in Section III should reflect
the combined activities o f all such establishments. One code w ill be assigned which best
indicates the nature of business o f the group of establishments as a whole.

SECTION IV .

M O NTH OF OSHA INSPECTION

Enter the name o f the first m onth in 1984 during which your establishment(s) had an

sums entered in Section VI.

Leave Section VI blank if the employees covered in this report experienced no recordable
injuries or illnesses during 1984.
If there were recordable injuries or illnesses during the year, please review your OSHA
No. 200 form fo r each establishment to be included in this report to make sure that all
entries are correct and complete before completing Section VI. Each recordable case should
be included on the "L o g " in only one of the six main categories of injuries or illnesses:1
1.
2.

INJURIES w ith o u t lost workdays (Log column 6)
ILLN ESS—related deaths ( Log colum n 8)
ILLNESSES w ith days away from work and/or restricted days (Log colum n 9)
ILLNESSES w ith o u t lost workdays (Log column 13)




Also review each case to ensure that the appropriate entries have been made fo r the other
columns if applicable. For example, if the case is an In ju ry w ith Lost Workdays, be sure that
the check fo r an in ju ry involving day* away from work (Log colum n 3) is entered if necessary.
Also verify that the correct number o f days away from w ork (Log colum n 4) and/or days of
restricted work a ctivity (Log colum n 5) are recorded. A sim ilar review should be made fo r a
case which is an Illness w ith Lost Workdays (including Log columns 10, 11 and 12). Please
remember that if your employees' loss o f workdays is still continuing at the tim e the annual
summary for the year is completed, you should estimate the number o f fu tu re workdays
they w ill lose and add this estimate to the actual workdays already lost. Each partial day
away from w o rk, other than the day o f the occurrence o f the in ju ry or onset o f illness,
should be entered as one fu ll restricted workday.
Also, fo r each case which is an Illness, make sure that the appropriate colum n indicating
Type of Illness (Log columns 7a-7g) is checked.
A fte r com pleting your review o f the individual case entries on the " L o g ," please make sure
