[IWS] BLS:WORKPLACE INJURIES AND ILLNESSES IN 2005 [19 October 2006]]

IWS Documented News Service _______________________________ Institute for Workplace Studies-----------------Professor Samuel B. Bacharach School of Industrial & Labor Relations--------Director, Institute for Workplace Studies Cornell University 16 East 34th Street, 4th floor----------------------Stuart Basefsky New York, NY 10016-------------------------------Director, IWS News Bureau ________________________________________________________________________ WORKPLACE INJURIES AND ILLNESSES IN 2005 [19 October 2006] http://www.bls.gov/news.release/osh.nr0.htm or http://www.bls.gov/news.release/pdf/osh.pdf [full-text, 29 pages] Nonfatal workplace injuries and illnesses occurred at a rate of 4.6 cases per 100 equivalent full-time workers among private industry employers in 2005, according to the Survey of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), U.S. Department of Labor. This was a decline from the rate of 4.8 cases per 100 equivalent full-time workers reported by the BLS for 2004. The rate resulted from a total of 4.2 million nonfatal injuries and illnesses in private industry workplaces during 2005, relatively unchanged compared to 2004, and a 2 percent increase in the number of hours worked. Incidence rates for injuries and illnesses combined declined significantly in 2005 for most case types, with the exception of cases with days away from work. (See table 1 and chart 2.) This release is the second in a series of three releases from the BLS covering occupational safety and health statistics in 2005. The first release, in August 2006, covered work-related fatalities from the 2005 National Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries. In November 2006, a third release will provide details from the Survey of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses on the more seriously injured and ill workers and on the circumstances of their injuries and illnesses. "More seriously" is defined in this survey as cases requiring at least one day away from work to recuperate. Goods-producing industries as a whole had an injury and illness incidence rate of 6.2 cases per 100 equivalent full-time workers, while service-providing industries had a rate of 4.1 cases per 100 equivalent full-time workers. The incidence rate for goods-producing industries declined by 0.3 cases and the rate for service-providing industries fell by 0.1 case per 100 equivalent full-time workers compared to the rates reported for 2004. Among goods-producing ************************************************************************************************** * Note on expanded data on the Internet: BLS released two new web-based tools this past * * year for analyzing occupational injury and illness data.

(See table 1.) While rates among service-providing industry sectors ranged up to 7.0 cases per 100 full-time workers in transportation and warehousing, finance and insurance had the lowest rate within this domain at 1.0 case. Despite this low rate, finance and insurance was the only industry sector to experience a statistically significant increase in the overall incidence rate in 2005, rising by 0.1 case per 100 full-time workers. Small establishments (those employing 1 to 10 workers) reported the lowest rate for injuries and illnesses combined (2.0 cases per 100 full-time workers), while mid-size establishments (those employing 50 to 249 workers) reported the highest rate (5.8 cases per 100 full-time workers). (See table 3.) While incidence rates remained relatively unchanged for establishments employing fewer than 1,000 workers, the rate for large establishments (those employing 1,000 or more workers) declined significantly in 2005 to 5.2 cases per 100 full-time workers, down from 5.4 in 2004.
