Bulletin 7s[o. 700 of the

United States Bureau of Labor Statistics

IndustriaUnjury Statistics, by States

The purpose of this bulletin is to present, in convenient form, injury rates by industry and State, as well as for the country as a whole. The period covered is the year 1940. An earlier report1 of the Bureau gave such information for individual industries, based upon comparable reports for both 1939 and 1940, for all States combined.

Importance of Industrial-Injury Statistics

The periodic collection and dissemination of information relating to the occurrence of industrial injuries is one of the regular functions of the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Even in normal times the economic loss and human suffering revealed by these studies has been very impressive, and has led to much serious thought and earnest effort directed toward the eventual elimination of work accidents.

The advent of wartime conditions, accompanied by sharply increasing industrial activity in many lines of work, has accentuated existing work hazards, and has created many new hazards. Concurrently the pressure for maximum production has emphasized the tremendous loss arising from industrial injuries, not only in money, but also in the effect upon total production. The realization that safety activity must be increased has given rise to a demand for more detailed information to guide those who are responsible for the development of intensive safety programs.

The general purpose of these surveys of the Bureau has been to stimulate accident-prevention work: First, through the collection of sufficient information to justify making national estimates of the number of industrial injuries occurring each year and of the total economic loss, expressed in man-days of work, resulting from those injuries; and, second, to indicate the varying degrees of hazards existing in specific industries. Comparisons of the hazards in different industries serve to guide public-safety activity into the particular industries in which such activity is most needed, and the year-to-year comparison of the relative hazards in particular industries serves as a measure of the effectiveness of the safety programs being applied in those industries.

2 INDU STRIAL-INJURY STATISTICS

Meaning of Frequency and Severity Rates

The standard units used by the Bureau to indicate relative hazards are frequency and severity rates. The frequency rate represents the average number of injuries occurring during each million employee- hours worked. The severity rate represents the average number of days lost because of industrial injuries for each thousand employee- hours worked. In computing the number of days lost the Bureau follows the procedure given in Method of Compiling Industrial Inj ury Rates, approved by the American Standards Association in 1937.

Coverage of 1940 Survey

In the survey of industrial injuries during 1940 reports were received from over 37,000 establishments. Of these, 29,442 establishments supplied corresponding information for the year 1939. As already noted, a previous report of the Bureau of Labor Statistics summarized the records of the establishments which reported for the 2 years, and presented a comparison of the changes in injury frequency and severity between 1939 and 1940 for each of the industries covered. That report also presented estimates of the total number of industrial injuries occurring in the United States during 1940, and an index series indicating the general trend of injuries in the manufacturing industries since 1926.

Comparisons by States and Industries

The present report summarizes all of the data supplied by the entire group of establishments reporting for the year 1940.

In table 1 these data have been classified by industry upon a national basis, and comparative frequency and severity rates have been computed for each industry.

In table 2 the data have been classified not only by industry, but also according to the State in which the reporting establishments were located.

It is believed that comparison of the frequency and severity rates for particular industries within the several States will be of use in evaluating the various safety activities carried on in different localities. To a considerable extent the State frequency and severity rates vary with the existence and quality of legally imposed safety codes, and the degree of compliance with such codes achieved by the agencies responsible for their enforcement. Other local conditions, such as the average size of the establishments, the relative ages of the establishments, the relative experience of the employees, and the existence of hazards peculiar to operations in particular areas, however, are also


INDUSTRIAL-INJURY STATISTICS 3

reflected in the State rates and should be considered in making such comparisons.

The number of industries for which reports were received varied considerably among the different States and, similarly, the proportionate amount of coverage in the different industries varied from State to State. In order to make available as great a volume of information as possible, the requirements relating to the inclusion of particular industries in the listings for the various States were held to an absolute minimum. The tabulation for each State, therefore, includes every industry for which the Bureau received reports covering, first, either a minimum of 500 employees or 1,000,000 employee-hours worked, and, second, not less than 3 establishments.

It is believed that in most instances the State frequency and severity rates are representative, and that they may safely be compared with those for corresponding industries in other States or in the national tabulation. In making such comparisons, however, consideration should be given to the size of the sample upon which the rates are based.
