Nonfatal cases involving days away from work: selected characteristics (2011 forward)
Welcome to the step-by-step guide on how to use the Nonfatal cases involving days away from work: selected characteristics (2011 forward) one-screen query system
The Bureau of Labor Statistics annually reports on the number of workplace injuries and illnesses. For cases involving days away from work, the BLS also collects demographic and case characteristics. Demographic characteristics include the age, gender, race, occupation, and length of service of the worker. Case characteristics include the nature of the injury/illness, the part of body affected, the source of the injury/illness, and the event or exposure of the injury/illness. Since 1992, the survey has reported annually by these characteristics for the cases involving days away from work.
This tool lets users query the BLS databases for specific data series. For each survey and program, make a selection for each characteristic in the order listed. As you make your selection, the remaining characteristics will filter to show only choices where data are available. After choosing the series, click on "Add to selection." If you need more data series, repeat the steps of choosing the data series you need. After you've finished finding the data series you need, click on the "Get Data" button to retrieve the data, and an HTML table with data for the most recent 10 years will display. If you desire a different time period of format, you may modify the options on the data display page, or click on the "More Formatting Options" button for additional options on refining the data retrieval results.
