Total Annualized Capital/Startup

Total Annual Costs: 0 (operating/
maintaining systems or purchasing
services).
Description: The goal of the
Occupational Safety and Health Act, as
stated in Section 2(b), is to assure, as far
as possible, every working man and
woman in the Nation safe and healthful
working conditions. The BLS Survey of
Occupational Injuries and Illnesses
provides the Nation’s primary indicator
of the progress towards achieving this
goal. The survey measures the overall
rate of occurrence of work injuries and
illnesses by industry. The industry
classifications for which data are
produced reflect the incorporation of
the North American Industry
Classification System (NAICS) codes
beginning with reference year 2003.
Until now, the Survey of Occupational
Injuries and Illnesses has been restricted
to producing national estimates for the
private sector only. Consequently, there
have been no national estimates of
workplace injuries and illnesses
sustained by State and Local
government workers, including those in
such relatively high hazard and high
profile occupations as police,
firefighters, paramedics and other
public health workers. To address this
data gap, beginning with survey year
2008, the BLS will collect data from
State and Local government agencies in
all States to support both State and
national estimates. The BLS will collect
this data within the current budget. The
BLS regards the collection of these data
as a significant expansion in its overall
coverage of the American workplace.
BLS will send a letter explaining that
the survey is voluntary for State and
Local government agencies in States that
do not require this collection of data.
The number of extra sample units
needed for State and Local government
data is approximately 7,000. A NonSubstantive change request will be
made for this increase for survey year
2008.
For the more serious injuries and
illnesses, those with days away from
work, the survey provides detailed
information on the injured/ill worker
(age, sex, race, industry, occupation,
and length of service), the time in shift,
and the circumstances of the injuries
and illnesses classified by standardized
codes (nature of the injury/illness, part
of body affected, primary and secondary
sources of the injury/illness, and the
event or exposure that produced the
injury/illness). Race data categories
reflect the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) recommended categories
for non-self-reported classification.

Optional information on the general job
category is used to improve coding for
non-descriptive job titles, such as
‘‘Customer Service Representative.’’ A
check-off for before/during/after work
shift was included to identify the events
that occurred before or after the work
shift.
In the two decades prior to the OSHA
recordkeeping changes in 2002,
incidence rates for cases with days away
from work decreased significantly while
incidence rates for cases with only
restricted work activity increased
significantly. Since the BLS presently
collects case and demographic data only
for cases with days away from work,
data are not obtained about a growing
class of injury and illness cases.
Beginning with the 2008 survey year,
BLS will test collection of case and
demographic data for injury and illness
cases that require only days of job
transfer or restriction. If the test(s) prove
successful, BLS will implement this for
as many States as the budget allows
beginning with survey year 2009. BLS
regards the collection of these cases
with only job transfer or restriction as
significant in its coverage of the
American workforce.

Departmental Clearance Officer/Team
Leader.
