WORKPLACE INJURIES AND ILLNESSES--2009
Nonfatal workplace injuries and illnesses among private industry employers declined in 2009 to a rate of
3.6 cases per 100 equivalent full-time workers--down from 3.9 cases in 2008, the Bureau of Labor
Statistics reported today. (See table 1.) Similarly, the number of nonfatal occupational injuries and
illnesses reported in 2009 declined to 3.3 million cases, compared to 3.7 million cases in 2008. (See
table 2.) The total recordable case (TRC) injury and illness incidence rate among private industry
employers has declined significantly each year since 2003, when estimates from the Survey of
Occupational Injuries and Illnesses (SOII) were first published using the North American Industry
Classification System (NAICS). (See http://www.bls.gov/iif/oshsum.htm for links to news releases and
tables for prior years.)
Key findings from the 2009 Survey of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses
* Incidence rates for injuries and illnesses combined among private industry establishments declined
significantly in 2009 for all case types, with the exception of days-away-from-work cases whose rate
remained relatively unchanged from 2008 at the level of rounding presented in this release. (See
chart 1.) The number of cases of injuries and illnesses combined declined significantly in 2009 for
all case types.
* The manufacturing industry sector reported the largest year-to-year decline in injuries and illnesses
since NAICS was introduced in 2003--falling by 23 percent (161,100 cases) from 2008 to 2009,
lowering the incidence rate by 0.7 cases to 4.3 cases per 100 workers. The drop in cases reported in
this sector represents nearly 39 percent of the total private industry decline in injuries and illnesses in
2009.
* The construction industry sector reported 71,700 fewer cases in 2009, compared to 2008--a 22
percent decline, lowering the incidence rate by 0.4 cases to 4.3 cases per 100 workers. The decline in
reported cases among the manufacturing and construction industry sectors together represents nearly
56 percent of the total private industry decline in injuries and illnesses in 2009.
* The incidence rate of injuries only among private industry workers fell from 3.7 to 3.4 cases per 100
workers between 2008 and 2009, resulting from an 11 percent drop in the number of injury cases.
* Both the incidence rate and the number of illness cases declined significantly in 2009, compared to
2008--led by a decline among the 'Skin diseases' category which accounted for nearly 47 percent of
the decline in illness cases among private industry establishments.
Slightly more than one-half of the 3.3 million private industry injury and illness cases reported
nationally in 2009 were of a more serious nature that involved days away from work, job transfer, or
restriction--commonly referred to as DART cases. These occurred at a rate of 1.8 cases per 100
workers, declining from 2.0 cases in 2008. (See table 7.) Among the two components of DART cases,
the rate of cases requiring job transfer or restriction fell from 0.9 to 0.8 cases per 100 workers, while the
rate for cases involving days away from work remained relatively unchanged in 2009 (1.1 cases) at the
level of rounding presented in this release. (Components do not sum to total due to rounding.)
Manufacturing was the only private industry sector in 2009 in which the rate of job transfer or restriction
cases exceeded the rate of cases with days away from work, continuing a 12-year trend. Other
recordable cases--those not involving days away from work, job transfer, or restriction--accounted for
the remaining injury and illness cases nationally and occurred at a lower rate in 2009 (1.8 cases per 100
workers) compared to 2008 (1.9 cases per 100 workers).
The total recordable case injury and illness incidence rate was highest in 2009 among mid-size private
industry establishments (those employing between 50 and 249 workers) and lowest among small
establishments (those employing fewer than 11 workers) compared to establishments of other sizes. (See
table 3 and chart 2.)
Private Industry Injuries and Illnesses
Injuries. Approximately 3.1 million (94.9 percent) of the 3.3 million nonfatal occupational injuries and
illnesses in 2009 were injuries--of which 2.3 million (74.8 percent) occurred in service-providing
industries, which employed 81.1 percent of the private industry workforce covered by this survey. (See
table 5.) The remaining nearly 0.8 million injuries (25.2 percent) occurred in goods-producing
industries, which accounted for 18.9 percent of private industry employment in 2009.
Illnesses. Workplace illnesses accounted for slightly more than 5 percent of the 3.3 million injury and
illness cases in 2009. (See table 6b.) Private industry employers reported 11 percent fewer illness cases
in 2009--down to 166,200 cases, compared to 187,400 in 2008. This resulted in a decline in the rate of
workplace illnesses in 2009 from 19.7 to 18.3 cases per 10,000 full-time workers. (See table 6a.)
Goods-producing industries as a whole accounted for approximately 34 percent of all occupational
illness cases and were responsible for nearly two-thirds of the decline in illnesses reported among
private industry workplaces in 2009. Consequently, both the number and rate of illnesses declined
significantly for goods-producing industries as a whole in 2009. The manufacturing sector accounted for
nearly 29 percent of all occupational illnesses cases and reported 11,200 fewer illnesses in 2009
compared to 2008. While the number of illness cases among service-providing industries as a whole
declined by 7,500 cases, the incidence rate was statistically unchanged in 2009, compared to 2008.
National Public Sector Estimates
National public sector estimates covering nearly 19 million State and local government workers--for
example, Police protection (NAICS 922120) and Fire protection (NAICS 922160)--are available from
the SOII for just the second year for 2009.
Nearly 863,000 injury and illness cases were reported among State and local government workers
combined in 2009, resulting in a rate of 5.8 cases per 100 workers--significantly higher than the rate
among private industry workers (3.6 cases per 100 workers), but lower than the rate (6.3 cases) reported
among these public sector workers in 2008. Nearly 4 in 5 injuries and illnesses reported in the public
sector occurred among local government workers in 2009, resulting in an injury and illness rate of 6.3
cases per 100 workers--significantly higher than the 4.6 cases per 100 workers in State government.
(See Chart 3.)
State Estimates
Private and public sector estimates are available for 41 participating States (including the District of
Columbia) individually for 2009. Data for establishments in the ten States for which individual estimates
are unavailable are collected by BLS regional offices and used solely for the tabulation of national
estimates. (See chart 4.) State estimates will be available online 10 business days following the release
of national estimates; these data may also be requested prior to this from respective State offices. (See
http://www.bls.gov/iif/oshstate.htm for State contacts.)
As compared to a year earlier, private industry TRC incidence rates among the 41 States (including the
District of Columbia) for which estimates were available in 2009 declined in 16 States and remained
statistically unchanged in the remaining 25 States.
The private industry TRC incidence rate was higher in 22 States than the national rate of 3.6 cases per
100 full-time workers in 2009, lower than the national rate in 11 States, and not statistically different
from the national rate in eight States. Differences in industry mix account for at least some of the
differences in rates across States.
Publication Tables and Supplemental Charts
The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) has generated estimates of injuries and illnesses for many of the
2-, 3-, 4-, 5-, and 6-digit industries as defined in the 2007 North American Industry Classification
System manual. A complete listing of these estimates is not available in this release. However, summary
tables 1 and 2--providing incidence rates and counts of injuries and illnesses by detailed industry, case
type, and ownership (e.g., total recordable cases or cases with days away from work in private industry),
respectively--may be accessed electronically from http://www.bls.gov/iif/oshsum.htm or requested
from BLS staff at 202-691-6170 or by email at IIFSTAFF@bls.gov. Supplemental tables and charts
illustrating trends among incidence rates and counts are also available from these sources.
Background of the Survey
Second in a series of three releases from the BLS covering occupational safety and health statistics for
2009, this release follows the August report on fatal work-related injuries from the Census of Fatal
Occupational Injuries. A third release in November 2010 will provide case circumstances and worker
characteristics from the SOII for nonfatal injury and illness cases requiring at least one day away from
work to recuperate.
Beginning with estimates for 2009, the SOII program began classifying industry using the 2007 version
of the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS 2007). SOII industry estimates from 2003
to 2008 were classified using NAICS 2002. NAICS 2007 includes revisions across several sectors, the
most significant occurring in the information sector (NAICS 51) where industries in NAICS subsector
516 (Internet publishing and broadcasting) are reclassified elsewhere (eliminating NAICS 516) and in
NAICS subsector 517 (Telecommunications) where several industries have been reclassified. For more
detailed information regarding NAICS revisions, visit http://www.bls.gov/bls/naics.htm.
Additional background and methodological information regarding the BLS occupational safety and
health program, including information such as changes in the definition of recordable cases due to
revised recordkeeping requirements in 2002 and the inherent underreporting of illnesses, can be found in
Chapter 9 of the BLS Handbook of Methods at http://www.bls.gov/opub/hom/homch9_a.htm.

1 The 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 = number of injuries and illnesses
EH = total hours worked by all employees during the
calendar year
200,000= base for 100 equivalent full-time workers
(working 40 hours per week, 50 weeks per year)
2 Totals include data for industries not shown separately.
3 North American Industry Classification System - United States, 2007
4 Employment is expressed as an annual average and is derived primarily from the BLS-Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW) program.
5 Days-away-from-work cases include those that result in days away from work with or without job transfer or restriction.
6 Excludes farms with fewer than 11 employees.
7 Data for Mining (Sector 21 in the North American Industry Classification System - United States, 2007) include establishments not governed by the Mine Safety and Health Administration rules and reporting, such as those in Oil and
Gas Extraction and related support activities. Data for mining operators in coal, metal, and nonmetal mining are provided to BLS by the Mine Safety and Health Administration, U.S. Department of Labor. Independent mining contractors
are excluded from the coal, metal, and nonmetal mining industries. These data do not reflect the changes the Occupational Safety and Health Administration made to its recordkeeping requirements effective January 1, 2002; therefore,
estimates for these industries are not comparable to estimates in other industries.
8 Industry scope changed in 2009.
9 Data for mining operators in this industry are provided to BLS by the Mine Safety and Health Administration, U.S. Department of Labor. Independent mining contractors are excluded. These data do not reflect the changes the
Occupational Safety and Health Administration made to its recordkeeping requirements effective January 1, 2002; therefore, estimates for these industries are not comparable to estimates in other industries.
10 Data for employers in railroad transportation are provided to BLS by the Federal Railroad Administration, U.S. Department of Transportation.
11 Data too small to be displayed.
NOTE: Because of rounding, components may not add to totals. Dash indicates data do not meet publication guidelines.

1 The incidence rates represent the number of injuries per 100 full-time workers and were calculated as: (N/EH) x 200,000, where
N = number of injuries
EH = total hours worked by all employees during the
calendar year
200,000= base for 100 equivalent full-time workers
(working 40 hours per week, 50 weeks per year)
2 Totals include data for industries not shown separately.

4 Employment is expressed as an annual average and is derived primarily from the BLS-Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW) program.
5 Excludes farms with fewer than 11 employees.
6 Data for Mining (Sector 21 in the North American Industry Classification System - United States, 2007) include establishments not governed by the Mine Safety and Health Administration rules and reporting, such as those in Oil and
Gas Extraction and related support activities. Data for mining operators in coal, metal, and nonmetal mining are provided to BLS by the Mine Safety and Health Administration, U.S. Department of Labor. Independent mining contractors
are excluded from the coal, metal, and nonmetal mining industries. These data do not reflect the changes the Occupational Safety and Health Administration made to its recordkeeping requirements effective January 1, 2002; therefore,
estimates for these industries are not comparable to estimates in other industries.

1 Excludes farms with fewer than 11 employees.
2 Data for Mining (Sector 21 in the North American Industry Classification System - United States, 2007) include establishments not governed by the Mine Safety and Health Administration rules and reporting, such as those in Oil and
Gas Extraction and related support activities. Data for mining operators in coal, metal, and nonmetal mining are provided to BLS by the Mine Safety and Health Administration, U.S. Department of Labor. Independent mining contractors
are excluded from the coal, metal, and nonmetal mining industries. These data do not reflect the changes the Occupational Safety and Health Administration made to its recordkeeping requirements effective January 1, 2002; therefore,
estimates for these industries are not comparable to estimates in other industries.
3 Data too small to be displayed.
4 Data for employers in railroad transportation are provided to BLS by the Federal Railroad Administration, U.S. Department of Transportation.
NOTE: Because of rounding, components may not add to totals. Dash indicates data do not meet publication guidelines.

1 The 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 = number of injuries and illnesses
EH = total hours worked by all employees during the
calendar year
200,000= base for 100 equivalent full-time workers
(working 40 hours per week, 50 weeks per year)
2 Days-away-from-work cases include those that result in days away from work with or without job transfer or restriction.
3 Excludes farms with fewer than 11 employees.
