Introduction

In 1971, the Bureau of Labor Statistics was assigned the responsibility for conducting a new and vastly expanded annual survey of work injuries and illnesses. The survey is required by the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) of 1970 which charges the Secretary of Labor with the obligation to “develop and maintain an effective program of collection, compilation, and analysis of occupational safety and health statistics.”

Work injury statistics collected on a voluntary basis represent the oldest ongoing program in the BLS, dating from 1910. But the new Act represents a radical change in approach to occupational safety and health: It involves setting and enforcing standards, intergovernmental cooperation, research, and the collection of statistics based on the mandatory recording of injuries and illnesses by firms in the sample survey. And by including nearly all employers, the records provide a uniform base for nearly 60 million workers at about 5 million workplaces.

In order to create an awareness by workers and employers of the seriousness and the nature of unsafe and unhealthful working conditions, the Act requires the keeping of records relating to occupational injuries and illnesses. The records to be kept are: A log, supplementary record, and summary of occupational injuries and illnesses. None of these records is a report form and all must remain at the workplace for 5 years to be available for examination by representatives of the Department of Labor or the Depart

ment of Health, Education, and Welfare, or States accorded jurisdiction under the Act.

The definition of recordable injuries and illnesses has been widened in scope to present a more realistic picture of losses incurred. Every work-related illness and those injuries which involve loss of consciousness, require medical treatment (excluding first-aid cases), or prevent an employee from carrying out all of his regularly assigned duties must be recorded.

The BLS survey involves an annual sample of about600.000 reports. Of these, about 200,000 are needed to generate national estimates of injuries and illnesses; in addition, States and jurisdictions survey about400.000 so they can measure job-relateu injuries and illnesses in their areas. The reports are now collected by 53 jurisdictions, including48 States. The BLS collects reports from two States.

The 1972 survey covered the first full year of recordkeeping under OSHA. Although estimates were published for 1971 (BLS Bulletin 1798), data for later years should not be compared with 1971 estimates which covered only 6 months and may not have reflected seasonal patterns. In addition, the last half of 1971 marked the first period of employer recordkeeping and some confusion over interpretation of definitions occurred. Therefore, the results of future surveys should be compared with estimates from the 1972 survey presented in this bulletin.


Results of 1972 Survey of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses

Injury and illness rates

Workers in the private nonfarm economy suffered10.9 occupational injuries and illnesses for each 100 fulltime workers in 1972. (See table 1.) This rate indicates that, on the average, 1 out of every 10 employees was killed, injured, or became ill as a result of exposure to the work environment. In more than 2 out of 3 instances, the injury or illness was not fatal and did not involve any loss of worktime beyond the day of the occurrence, and in more than 9 out of 10 cases, the disability was caused by an injury rather than an illness.

The overall rate for manufacturing, 15.6, was about 43 percent higher than that for all industries. (See chart 1.) Overall incidence rates for the major industry groups (2-digit SIC) within manufacturing ranged from7.5 in apparel and other textile products to 25.4 in lumber and wood products. (See chart 2.) Within manufacturing, the incidence of work-connected injuries and illnesses differs markedly between the durable and nondurable goods sectors. The rate for durable goods was17.5 and for nondurable goods, 12.9. Mechanization, product orientation, and production processes are important factors contributing to these differences.

Of the 3-digit manufacturing SIC levels for which incidence rates are published in table 1,11 were identified as having the highest overall rates. These 11 industry levels were distributed among the major industry groups as follows: One in food and kindred products (meat products, a rate of 28.2), three in lumber and wood products (logging camps and logging contractors— 32.5, millwork, plywood, and related products— 26.3, and sawmills and planing mills—24.9); one in leather and leather products (leather tanning and finishing— 24.9); three in primary metal industries (iron and steel foundries— 32.2; secondary nonferrous metals— 30.9, and nonferrous foundries— 26.4); one in fabricated metal products (fabricated structural metal products— 25.9); and two in transportation equipment (miscellaneous transportation equipment— 36.5, and ship and boatbuilding and repairing— 28.6).

During 1972, contract construction had the highest rate of any industry division— 19.0 per 100 full-time workers. vThe three major industry groups within contract construction— general building, heavy construction, and special trade contractors had rates of 18.5,19.6, and 19.0, respectively. The best safety and health record in this division occurred in painting, paperhanging, and decorating, with a rate of 11.2. On the other hand, 5 of the 11 nonmanufacturing 3-digit SIC levels with the highest incidence rates occurred in construction— roofing and sheet metal work— 28.9; heavy construction, n.e.c.— 21.3; miscellaneous special trade contractors— 20.5; plumbing, heating, and air conditioning—-19.9; and water well drilling— 19.1.

In the transportation and public utilities industries, occupational injuries and illnesses occurred at a rate of 10.8. The overall incidence rates ranged from a low of 2.4 in radio and television broadcasting to a high of 27.8 in sanitary services. In addition to sanitary services, three other industries in this division were among the 11 with the highest incidence rates— water transportation services— 26.9, public warehousing— 19.2, and miscellaneous transportation services— 18.8.

The remaining 3-digit nonmanufacturing industries among those with the highest incidence rates were oil and gas field services, and miscellaneous repair shops with rates of 20.1.

Finance, insurance, and real estate employers which traditionally have recorded the lowest rates of job- related injuries and illnesses continued this trend with a rate of 2.5. However, one industry group in this division, operative builders, recorded a rate of 14.7— almost six times higher than the rate for the division.The rate for operative builders (those builders who engage in construction for sale on their own account rather than as contractors) was more than 20 percent lower than the rate for general building contractors.

Of the nine major industry groups that comprise the wholesale and retail trade division, five had incidence rates below the overall rate for the division—8.4: Retail general merchandise— 8.3, apparel and accessory stores— 2.1; furniture and home furnishings


stores— 5.5, eating and drinking places— 6.7, and miscellaneous retail stores— 4.3. The highest rates among major groups occurred in building materials and farm equipment, and food stores— 12.3 and 12.1, respectively.

Distribution of incidence rates by employment size

Incidence rates by employment size within industry divisions also help to pinpoint safety and health problem areas. For all industries surveyed, the highest overall incidence rate occurred in establishments having between 100 and 249 employees. (See table 2 and chart 3.) Except for contract construction and manufacturing where the rates peaked in this employee-size group, other industry divisions showed different incidence patterns. In wholesale and retail trade, and services, for example, establishments with 500 to 999 employees had the highest rate. But for transportation and public utilities, and finance, insurance, and real estate, no single employment level stood out among the eight employment-size groups. There were only slight differences among the highest rates for establishments in transportation and public utilities having 20 to 99 employees and establishments in finance, insurance, and real estate having 50 to 2,499 employees.

In the private nonfarm sector in 1972 over 26 percent of the employees worked in establishments which experienced virtually no injuries or illnesses.(See chart 4.) In establishments employing fewer than 20 employees, around 82.3 percent had zero rates during 1972, compared with 46.6 percent in the 20 to 49 employee range. (See chart 5.) For combined employee-size groups, 18.1 percent of the establishments in the 50 to 499 employee range and 1.3 percent having 500 employees or more had zero rates. The majority of establishments employing 500 workers or more had recordable injury and illness rates between 0.1 and9.9 per 100 full-time workers. These large firms appear capable of mounting effective safety programs which limit the occurrence of work-related injuries and illnesses. A look at the data from another perspective, that of the median, suggests that for at least one-half of all establishments, virtually no recordable injuries or illnesses occurred.1 The median rate for the private nonfarm sector in 1972 was 0.0 compared with the mean rate of 10.9.2 (See table 3.) Statistically, the mean has an inherent upward bias because a few reporting units with high incidence of cases tend to push up the rate for an industry.

The pattern of quartile incidence varied among industry divisions. In contract construction, at least one-half the establishments had zero rates. However,

the median rate was nearly comparable to the mean rate in the 50 to 249 employee category.

Of the 21 major industry groups in manufacturing, only two did not have a median rate of zero for establishments with 1 to 19 employees— primary metal industries with 10.6 and fabricated metal products with 6.1.

At least one-half of all establishments in the transportation and public utilities industries had a rate of0.0. Three-fourths of the under-20 employee establishments had virtually no recordable cases.

About three-fourths of the establishments in wholesale and retail trade with fewer than 20 workers had zero rates during 1972. Although the overall rate for the industry was 8.4, one-half of all establishments in the 20 to 49 employee group had 1.6 or fewer injuries or illnesses per 100 full-time workers.

In the finance, insurance, and real estate industries, at least three-fourths of all establishments with fewer than 50 employees were virtually without injury or illness. On the other hand, one-fourth of the establishments with 250 workers or more had incidence rates more than 50 percent higher than the mean for the industry.

Another area of business activity commonly regarded as a “low hazard” sector of the economy— the services industries-—demonstrated that at least 75 percent of small establishments (1 to 19 employees) had a rate of 0.0.

The mean incidence rate is calculated as: N/EH X 200,000, where

N = number of injuries and/or illnessesEH = total hours worked by all employees during calendar

1972200,000 = base for 100 full-time equivalent workers (working

40 hours per week, 50 weeks per year).The median incidence rate is the middle measure in the

distribution— half of the establishments have an incidence rate more than the median rate; half have an incidence rate less than the median rate. The middle range (interquartile) is defined by two measures— a fourth of the establishments have a rate less than the first quartile rate and a fourth a rate more than the third quartile rate.

The number of employers by employment size represented by the median, and first and third quartile incidence rates can be derived from County Business Patterns, 1972,U.S. Summary CBP-72-1 (Bureau of Census, 197 3), pp. 14-27.

2 A rate of 0.0 implies that no case of an injury or illness was reported for 1972 or, if recordable cases occurred, they were insignificant in terms of the exposure hours as the rate calculated was less than .05 per 100 full-time workers. Consequently, incidence rates of less than .05 appear as 0.0 in table 3 indicating, for all practical purposes, no recordable cases.


Incidence rates by category of illness

The incidence rate of all categories of illnesses was .4 per 100 full-time workers or about four cases per1.000 full-time workers in the private nonfarm sector.3 (See table 4.) By industry division, the rates ranged from a high of 7 per 1,000 full-time workers in manufacturing to a low of 1 in finance, insurance, and real estate.

The highest rates for all occupational illnesses among the major industry groups were in forestry— 14 per1.000 full-time workers; agricultural services and hunting, and rubber and plastics products— 10; and chemicals and allied products, and transportation equipment— 9.

Within contract construction, an estimated 7 illnesses per 1,000 full-time workers occurred in both heavy and special trade construction. In the transportation and public utilities industries, transportation by air, with a rate of 5, registered the highest illness rate in the division. A rate of 3 occurred in four of the nine industries within wholesale and retail trade— wholesale trade, building materials and farm equipment, automotive dealers and service stations, and eating and drinking places. In the finance, insurance, and real estate division, the real estate group had a considerably higher rate— 4 per 1,000 full-time workers— than any other industry group.

Of the seven categories of occupational illnesses,4 no major industry group had a rate for dust diseases of the lungs that equaled or exceeded .5 per 1,000 full-time workers. The rate for poisoning (systemic effects of toxic materials) was less than .5 in all major groups except agricultural services and hunting— 1 per 1,000 full-time workers. Measurable rates of respiratory conditions due to toxic agents occurred only in seven major industry groups, all of which were engaged in manufacturing activities.

The majority of illnesses recorded occurred in one category: Occupational skin diseases or disorders. The industry with the highest incidence for this type of illness, forestry, had 11 cases per 1,000 full-time workers compared to 2 for all industries surveyed. The second highest rate was rubber and plastics products— 6, followed by chemicals and allied products, and agricultural services and hunting—5 cases per 1,000 full-time workers in each industry.

Rates for disorders from physical agents usually occurred throughout the construction industries, most manufacturing groups, and agricultural services and forestry. Disorders due to repeated trauma occurred most frequently in transportation equipment with a rate of 3. Two cases per 1,000 full-time workers appeared in food and kindred products, electrical

equipment and supplies, and transportation by air.For all other occupational illnesses not specifically categorized, the highest incidence rate, 3, occurred in both heavy and special trade construction. Heart attacks related to the work environment would fall within this illness category.

Number of injuries and illnesses

Nearly 5.7 million recordable occupational injuries and illnesses occurred in 1972 in the industries surveyed; of these more than 1.7 million cases involved lost workdays and approximately 5,500 resulted in fatalities.(See table 5.)

Estimates derived from the 1972 survey are not comparable with similar data published by the National Safety Council (NSC) for 1972.5 The NSC estimates of 2.4 million cases included fatalities, permanent impairments, and injuries or illnesses which are disabling beyond the day of the accident. BLS estimates encompassed the NSC cases as well as other lost workday cases in which the employee worked but could not perform all the duties of his regularly assigned job. Also, the BLS estimates included all illnesses as well as those injuries which involved one or more of the following: Medical treatment even if no time was lost from work, loss of consciousness, restriction of work or motion, or transfer to another job. (See chart 6.)

The extent of the differences between the estimates is evident particularly in the estimate of fatalities for 1972. The BLS estimate of 5,500 fatalities excludes fatalities for farms, mines, railroads, government, and the self-employed regardless of industry. This figure is not comparable with the 14,100 work-related fatalities estimated by the NSC for all industries in 1972. However, if the NSC estimates for excluded industries and the self-employed were added to the BLS fatality estimate, the BLS number would be raised to approximately 11,000 fatalities. (See chart 7.)

By division, the contract construction industry was characterized by a relatively large proportion of injuries and illnesses, particularly fatalities, compared to employment. With only 6 percent of the total employment of the private nonfarm industries surveyed, this division had about 27 percent of the fatalities and 10 percent

3Hereafter, in this section, the incidence rates of occu

pational illnesses represent the number of illnesses per 1,000 full-time workers, although tables 1 and 4 show the rates per 100 full-time workers. Incidence rates are changed to this base because the rates generated per 200,000 hours of exposure are, in general, quite small.

of the injuries and illnesses during the survey period. (See chart 8.) The percent of recordable cases by the three major industry groups in contract construction approximated the employment levels— special trade contractors, almost 50 percent; general building contractors, almost 28 percent; and heavy construction contractors, about 23 percent. (See table 6.)

Although constituting less than 33 percent of all employment, manufacturing employees experienced over 50 percent of all recordable occupational injuries and illnesses in the private nonfarm sector during 1972. Of the approximately 2.9 million recordable cases in manufacturing, about 27 percent, or nearly 775,000, involved lost workdays; about 1,400 resulted in fatalities. Three industry groups accounted for over 50 percent of the cases and made up about 45 percent of the employment in durable goods manufacturing— fabricated metal products; machinery, except electrical; and transportation equipment. In nondurable goods manufacturing, four industry groups had over two-thirds of the cases and over one-half the employment— food and kindred products, textile mill products, paper and allied products, and rubber and plastics products. In fact, about one-third of all cases in nondurable goods occurred in food and kindred products. Even in comparison to other industries within manufacturing having similar employment levels, food and kindred products showed unusually high estimates of recordable cases.

Employers in transportation and public utilities, with less than 7 percent of the private nonfarm work force, experienced 405,000 recordable cases and 1,100 or 20 percent of all recordable fatalities. Of these 405,000 cases, the trucking and warehousing industry had 44 percent; the communications industry, with almost 30 percent of the employment, experienced about 9 percent; and pipeline transportation had 1,100 injuries and illnesses, the smallest number of any major industry group surveyed.

More than 1.1 million occupational injuries and illnesses occurred in wholesale and retail trade, the second largest number of cases for a division. Of these cases, approximately 700 were fatal and over 370,000 resulted in lost workdays. Five of the nine industry groups in the division had 87 percent of the cases— wholesale trade, retail general merchandise, food stores, automotive dealers and service stations, and eating and drinking places. Wholesale trade, individually, was responsible for over 367,000 cases or slightly over 32 percent of the total for the division.The major industry group with the fewest cases was apparel and accessory stores with 12,500.

Less than 2 percent of the total recordable cases was estimated for the finance, insurance, and real estate industry. The 87,000 cases included 100 fatalities and over 28,000 lost workday cases.

About 52 percent of the cases in finance, insurance, and real estate occurred in real estate which has only 19 percent of the employment. All major industry groups in this division had extremely few recordable cases for the number of employees. This is particularly evident for the security, commodity brokers, and services group which had approximately 1,900 cases with an employment of almost 200,000.

Over 560,000 recordable injuries and illnesses occurred in the services division; of these, around 500 were fatal and over 186,000 cases resulted in lost workdays. Nearly 38 percent of the cases in services were in the medical and other health services group. Forestry, with only 2,000 injuries and illnesses, had the fewest cases of any major industry group in the division.

Ninety-six percent of all recordable cases were injuries. Illnesses constituted the remaining 4 percent, with occupational skin diseases or disorders making up over 40 percent of the cases. (See chart 9.) Dust diseases of the lungs, which showed the least number of occurrences, averaged almost twice as many lost workdays per lost workday case as the next highest average for an occupational illness. An important distinction between an occupational injury and illness is that an injury occurs at a specific time and ordinarily is discovered readily. On the other nana, an occupational illness may develop slowly and be unknown to the employer and employee until symptoms arise or disability occurs. In the meantime, the employee may work for different employers and be exposed to different conditions which cause the illness. Therefore, some illnesses of occupational origin may not be recognized and may not be reflected in the estimates.

Worktime lost due to occupational injuries and illnesses

Disability involving worktime lost often imposes serious personal and economic consequences for the employee and immediate members of his family. Lost workdays for the survey period totaled over 24.7 million days, or nearly 100,000 equivalent employee- years of work. Lost worktime includes not only days in which the employee was absent from his job because of a work-related injury or illness but also days in which an employee was restricted from performing all the duties of his permanent job.

Manufacturing, and wholesale and retail trade constituted almost two-thirds of the lost workdays among


industries surveyed. As a percent of total workdays in the private nonfarm industries surveyed, the number of days lost due to job-related injuries and illnesses amounted to .17 percent. The following table compares percent of days lost from job-related injuries and illnesses and work days idle from work stoppages during 1972.

(S IC 0 7 -0 9 ).

The two sets of data show that time lost from work stoppages and from job-related injuries and illnesses is similar in manufacturing and transportation and public utilities, but time lost from stoppages is almost three times that lost from injuries and illnesses in contract construction. On the other hand, time lost from injuries and illnesses is four times that lost from work stoppages in wholesale and retail trade; finance, insurance, and real estate; and services.

For all industries surveyed, the average number of lost workdays per lost workday injury and illness was 14. (See table 7.) The average number of lost workdays by industry division fell into a very narrow range from 12 in finance, insurance, and real estate to 16 in transportation and public utilities. Text table 2 shows

that the typical 3-digit industry in manufacturing and nonmanufacturing probably averaged between 10 to 19 lost workdays per lost workday case.

workdays per 100 full-time workers.6 The incidence rate of lost workdays ranged from 9.9 for finance, insurance, and real estate to 88.5 for contract construction. Text table 3 shows that incidence rates of lost workdays for 3-digit manufacturing and nonmanufacturing industries are distributed widely among intervals. This measure appears to be an improvement over the average lost workdays per lost workday case which are clustered and tend to conceal wide variations among industries. The level of incidence rates for lost workdays by employment-size group nearly parallels the pattern of incidence rates of recordable occupational injuries and illnesses for virtually all industry divisions; the only exception is finance, insurance, and real estate. The correlation coefficients, which were significant at the .05 level, ranged between +.714 for transportation and public utilities and +.905 for contract construction and manufacturing.

Text table 4 compares the average lost workdays per lost workday case with the rate of lost workdays among the industry divisions, and the average deviation of the two measures.7

As the table shows, the average lost workdays per lost workday case for the industries differed from the average for the private nonfarm sector by 1.2 days compared to24.9 days per 100 full-time workers for the incidence

rate of lost workdays. The correlation coefficient between the two measures is +.843 and is significant at the .05 level. Therefore, there is agreement between the measures in identifying levels of worktime lost among the industry divisions.

Medical services provided by employers

In response to increased public interest in providing medical services, and requests by OSHA and the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health, the Bureau of Labor Statistics included a special section in the 1972 survey form on medical services provided by employers in the private nonfarm sector. Data were collected concerning arrangements with a physician or clinic, as well as the availability of registered and licensed practical nurses, industrial hygienists, and employees trained to administer first aid.8

Results of the 1972 survey indicated that the availability of nurses’ services did not appear to be related to injury and illness experience. Contract construction, which had the highest incidence rate of injuries and illnesses during 1972, showed the lowest level of nurses’ services available. Only 1.5 percent of construction employees were provided nurses’ services, compared to almost 6 percent in the industry division with the lowest incidence of injuries and illnesses, finance, insurance, and real estate. Employers in manufacturing furnished nurses’ services to a much larger portion of its employees— nearly 70 percent— than employers in the other industry divisions.

Overall, nurses’ services were available to 21 percent of the employees in the private nonfarm sector.

6 The incidence rates for lost workdays appearing in this table are the only ones published in this bulletin and were calculated as: LWD/EH X 200,000, where,

LWD = number of lost workdays for injuries and/or illnessesEH=total hours worked by all employees during; calendar 1972200,000 = base for 100 full-time equivalent workers (wonting

40 hours per week, 50 weeks per year).This measure can be approximated for additional SIC

levels from the product of the incidence rate of lost workday cases (appearing in table 1) and the average number of lost workdays per lost workday case (appearing in table 8).

7 Average deviation or mean deviation measures the dispersion of the average lost workdays per lost workday case or the incidence rate of lost workdays for the industry divisions from the average for the private nonfarm sector, and is calculated as 2|x|/N , where

2 | x| = total deviation among the industry divisionsN = number of industry divisions

These data are not mutually exclusive since a single reporting unit may provide more than one medical service.The data are weighted estimates adjusted for nonresponse.Data for medical and other health services (SIC 80) have been deleted from the totals for the private nonfarm sector and for services. Employment estimates for medical services are based to benchmarked survey employment which may differ from the employment levels in table 1.

For every licensed practical nurse on duty, four registered nurses were serving private nonfarm sector employees.

About 65 percent of the workers in the private nonfarm sector were employed in a workplace that provided the services of a physician or had an arrangement with a clinic for the provision of medical care.9 In contract construction and manufacturing, employment levels were nearly 96 and 87 percent respectively. The two industry divisions with the lowest incidence

of injuries and illnesses— finance, insurance, and real estate, and services— provided the lowest levels or slightly less than 50 percent of their employees with physician and clinic services.

A relationship between the nature of the industry and the type of arrangement with a physician or clinic is also apparent. In contract construction, a division characterized by relatively non-fixed work sites, over 90 percent of the employees for whom physicians’ and clinical services were provided received those services from physicians either on call or at a clinic. Manufacturing, in which fixed-plant sites are typical, provided medical care by physicians employed at the plant on either a full- or part-time basis to over 35 percent of its employees. The industry division with the largest proportion of full-time physicians’ services was transportation and public utilities.

Employers in manufacturing, contract construction, and transportation and public utilities divisions, experiencing the largest incidence of occupational injuries and illnesses during 1972, provided first-aid services to a larger percent of their work force than the lower incidence industry divisions.

Transportation and public utilities, a division with a large portion of its work force involved in mobile operations, had the largest percent (12.0) of employees designated to provide emergency first-aid treatment.10

This was proportionately more than double the levels of the other industry divisions. Contract construction ranked second with 5.1 percent of its employees designated to perform emergency first-aid services.In manufacturing, nearly 40 percent of the establishments employing over 10.7 million workers had nearly 3 percent of the employees trained to administer emergency first-aid. Most of these establishments employed 50 employees or more.

In the private nonfarm sector, industrial hygienist services11 were available in only 3.2 percent o f the establishments, representing less than 20 percent of all employees. Manufacturing had nearly 70 percent of the employees working in establishments providing industrial hygienist services.

Industrial hygienist is defined in appendix B, p. 98, instructions to section VI, item 1.

1/ Industry totals (Division and 2-digit SIC codes) include data for industries not shown separately. Incidence rates are published for industries and employment size classes containing data submitted by a minimum of 25 reporting units.


3j The incidence rates represent the number of injuries and illnesses per 100 full-time workers.

4/ The mean incidence rate is calculated as: N/EH X 200,000, wnere

N * number of injuries and/or illnessesEH * total hours worked by all employees during calendar 1972200,000 = base for 100 full-time equivalent workers (working 40 hours per week, 50 weeks per year)

The median incidence rate is the middle measure in the distribution; half of the establishments have an incidence rate more than the median rate; half have an incidence rate less than the median rate.

The middle range (interquartile) Is defined by 2 measures; a fourth of the establishments have a rate less than the first quartile rate and a fourth a rate more than the third quartile rate.

1/ Industry division totals include data for industries not shown separately.

2,/ Standard Industrial Classification Manual, 1967 Edition.

_3/ The incidence rates represent the number of illnesses per 100 full-time workers, and were calculated as: N/EH X 200,000, where

N = number of illnessesEH = total hours worked by all employees during calendar 1972200,000 = base for 100 full-time equivalent workers (working 40 hours per week, 50 weeks per year)

4■/ Includes data for the following illness categories which are not shown separately; dust diseases of the lungs (pneumoconioses), respiratory conditions due to toxic agents, and poisoning (systemic effects of toxic materials). The incidence rates for these illness categories are not presented because the rates for an overwhelming majority of the 2-digit SIC levels were less than .05 per 100 full-time workers. These categories are not included in the classification "all other occupational illnesses."

5/ Does not include railroads and mine activities except oil and gas extraction (SIC 13).

NOTES: Asterisks indicate an incidence rate less than .05 per 100 full-time workers. Dashes indicate no data reported or data that do not meet publication guideline.

Appendix A. Scope of the

Scope of survey

The survey relates to nonfarm employers in the following private industries: Agricultural services, forestry, and fisheries, SIC 07-09; oil and gas extraction, SIC 13; contract construction, SIC 15-17; manufacturing, SIC 19-39; transportation and public utilities, SIC 4149; wholesale and retail trade, SIC 50-59; finance, insurance, and real estate, SIC 60-67; and services, SIC 70-89, except SIC 88. Excluded were self-employed individuals; farm and railroad employers; employers covered by the Coal Mine Health and Safety Act and the Metallic and Nonmetallic Mine Safety Acts; and Federal, State, and local government units. In a separate reporting system, agencies of the Federal Government are filing reports comparable to those of private industry with the Secretary of Labor.

Questionnaires were mailed to over 214,000 units in the national sample. A relatively small proportion of the sample to which questionnaires were mailed were not included in the final count for determining the response rate because they were no longer in operation, or were not within the scope of the survey, or were included in the report for another location, or received duplicate survey forms for the same location, or the survey form was not mailable because of an inadequate address. Because approximately 10,000 sample units were in these categories, the total number in the survey was reduced to nearly 204,000 (See charts 10 and 11.) Second mailings and telephone calls to nonrespondents resulted in replies from over 174,000 reporting units, for a 85.3 percent overall response rate. The 1972 occupational injury and illness national estimates included reports from around 62,000 manufacturing reporting units and from about 112,000 nonmanufacturing reporting units.

Survey questionnaire

The survey questionnaire requested information concerning average employment during calendar year 1972; total employee-hours worked during 1972; type of business activity; type of medical services provided by the employer; injuries and seven categories

Survey and Technical Notes

of occupational illnesses by fatalities, lost workday cases, and nonfatal cases without lost workdays; and the number of cases in which employees were transferred or terminated as a result of a job-related injury or illness.

Sample design

The sample was selected to represent all nonfarm and nongovernmental industries in all States and territories, and to produce estimates of the number of occurrences and incidence rates of occupational injuries and illnesses for the nation as a whole.

Separate estimates by industry were required by the Occupational Safety and Health program. It was also known that incidence rates would vary between these industries. These factors led to the stratification of the universe into industries according to the 1967 edition of the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC)Manual published by the Office of Management and Budget.

A sample size necessary to produce a certain level of precision in the estimate of incidence rates was then determined for each industry. Previous surveys conducted by the Bureau of Labor Statistics have given an indication of the variability of incidence rates within certain groups of industries. Using these measures of variability, the number of establishments in the industry, and the employment in large establishments, a sample size was calculated for each industry. The number of employees in large establishments was used as a control on the sample size. When industries are dominated by a few large establishments, smaller samples are necessary if the large establishments are included in the sample with certainty. Industries with higher expected incidence rates tended to be subject to more variability and, therefore, were allotted a proportionately larger sample than industries with lower rates.

Within an industry it was known that the number of injuries and illnesses an establishment experiences will vary with the employment of the establishment. Because of this, the universe of establishments within an industry was stratified by employment and then an optimum allocation was achieved by distributing the


sample to each size group proportionate to the total employment in the size group. This procedure assumes that the variance of the average number of injuries and illnesses per establishment in a size group is proportionate to the average establishment employment size group. Sample sizes were then adjusted to produce integral sampling ratios.

A further level of stratification was necessary before the sample was selected. The occupational injuries and illnesses survey is a Federal-State cooperative program and data collection is accomplished by State statistical grant agencies. The universe was then stratified into States prior to sample selection. The ratios determined for each industry-employment- size group were then used to select a sample within a State-industry-employment-size group sampling cell.

Estimating procedures

The injury and illness data for all reporting units in each industry-employment-size group were expanded by the inverse of the sampling ratio and benchmarked to the appropriate employment level in each industry to obtain the estimates. A benchmark factor was derived for each estimating cell by dividing the benchmark total employment by the weighted average employment derived from the sample. The factor served to adjust for additions to the universe and nonresponse within each industry-employment-size cell.

Federal-State cooperation

Under grant arrangements with State agencies, the respondent completes a single reporting form, which is then used for national and State estimates. This eliminates duplicate reporting by respondents and, together with the use of identical techniques at the national and State levels, insures maximum comparability of estimates.

Industrial classification

Reporting units are classified into industries on the basis of their principal product or activity determined by information entered in section V (Nature of Business) of the survey questionnaire. For a reporting unit making more than one product or engaging in more than one activity, data for the unit are included under the industry indicated by the most important product or activity.

Rounding of published estimates

The original tabulations on which data of the number of recordable fatalities and nonfatal injuries and illnesses are based show all estimates

to the nearest whole unit. The estimates appearing in tables 5, 6, and 7 are rounded to the nearest thousand. The derived percents are computed after the estimates on which the percents are based have been rounded to the nearest thousand.

Reliability of estimatesSince the estimates are based on a sample, they

may differ from the figures that would have been obtained if it were possible to take a complete census of establishments using the same schedules and procedures. As in any survey work, the results are subject to errors of response and of reporting as well as being subject to sampling variability.

The relative error is a measure of the sampling variability; that is, the variations that occur by chance because only a sample of the establishments is in the survey. The chances are about 2 out of 3 that an estimate from the sample would differ from a complete census by less than the relative error. The chances are about 19 out of 20 that the difference would be less than twice the relative error. The relative standard errors shown in table A-l, page 83, apply to the national estimate of fatalities appearing in table 5. The relative standard errors shown in table A-2, pages 84-95, apply to both the national incidence rates appearing in table 1, table 2 (“all sizes”), table 3 (mean incidence rate for “all sizes”), and table 4 (“total occupational illnesses”); and to the national estimates of occupational injuries and illnesses appearing in table 5, table 6, and table 7 (“total”). These relative errors are approximations to the relative errors of the estimates. Because of the complex two-stage ratio estimation procedure, most of the relative errors were computed using a simplified form of the variance estimation formulas. The more complex variance formulas were used for a few of the items resulting in some higher estimates and some lower estimates of relative errors as compared to the simplified method.

As an example of the use of these relative errors, general building construction (SIC 15) has an estimated incidence rate for total recordable cases of 18.5 per 100 full-time workers and a relative error of 3 percent. The chances are 2 out of 3 that a complete census would produce a rate between 17.9 and 19.1. The chances are 19 out of 20 that the rate produced from a complete count would be between 17.3 and 19.7. For the number of job-related injuries and illnesses resulting in lost workdays, the published rate is 5.7 per 100 full-time workers with a 5 percent relative error. The chances are 2 out of 3 that a census would show a rate between 5.4 and 6.0, and 19 out of 20 that the rate would be between 5.1 and 6.3


Similarly, the number of recordable occupational injuries and illnesses estimated for SIC 15 was 157,800 with a relative error of 3 percent. The chances are 2 out of 3 that a census would show a number between approximately 153,100 and 162,500, and 19 out of 20 that the number would be between approximately 148,300 and 167,300.

Publication guidelines

The BLS tabulating system generates occupational injury and illness estimates for over 770 SIC industry levels. Estimates for several 2, 3, and 4-digit SIC levels, however, were omitted from this bulletin if on e of the following situations occurred:

1. Estimates for the industry level were based on reports from fewer than three companies. Moreover, if three or more companies reported data for the

industry, the employment of one firm could not constitute 50 percent of the employment for the industry or two companies combined could not equal 75 percent of the industry employment,

2. 1972 annual average employment for the industry was less than 10,000;

3. Relative standard error for lost workday cases at one standard deviation was more than 15 percent for the industry level;

4. Benchmark factor for the industry level was less than .90 or greater than 1.33.

The data for an unpublished industry are included in the total shown for the broader industry level of which it is a part. In addition to deleting industries, selected items of data were suppressed for publishable industries if the relative standard error for the estimate was 60 percent or more.

Appendix D. State Data on Occupational Injuries and Illnesses

Estimates for Arizona, Arkansas, California, Delaware, District of Columbia, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wyoming were available for inclusion in this bulletin. Data on the following pages were extracted from reports of these States.

Following are the footnotes which apply to the State tables:

1 Industry^ division totals include data for industries not shown separately.

2 S tandard Industrial Classification M anual 1967 Edition.

3 Annual average employment are estimated from the Bureau of Labor Statistics Employment and Earnings Survey conducted in cooperation with various State agencies.

4 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/or illnesses EH = total hours worked by all employees during

calendar 1972200,000 = base for 100 full-time equivalent

workers (working 40 hours per week, 50 weeks per year).5 Because of rounding, the sum of the rates for

lost workday cases and nonfatal cases without lost workdays may not equal the total. In addition, the difference between the components may not reflect the fatality rate.

6 Does not include railroad and mine activities, other than oil and gas extraction (SIC 13) if such activities are present.

NOTES: Dashes indicate no data reported or data that do not meet publication guidelines.

n.a. = employment estimates are not available.n.e.c. = not elsewhere classified.

The number of workdays lost divided by the number of lost workday cases.

A program jointly conducted by the States and the Federal Government to collect occupational injury and illness statistics.

A grouping of establishments with a specified range of employment.

Number of injuries and illnesses experienced by 100 full-time workers. The rate is calculated as:

——x 200,000, where EH

N= number of occupational injuries and/or illnesses EH = total hours worked by all employees during reference year200,000 = base for 100 full-time equivalent workers (working 40 hours per week, 50 weeks per year).

The number of days the employee would have worked but could not because of occupational injury or illness. The number of lost workdays does not include the day of injury. The number of days includes all days (consecutive or not) on which, because of the injury or illness:(1) the employee would have worked but could not, or (2) the employee was assigned to a temporary job, or (3) the employee worked at a permanent job less than full time, or (4) the employee worked at a permanently assigned job but could not perform all duties normally assigned to it.

(25) Disorders due to physical agents (other than toxic materials)Examples: Heatstroke, sunstroke, heat exhaustion and other effects of environmental heat; freezing, frostbite and effects of exposure to low temperatures; caisson disease; effects of ionizing radiation (isotopes, X-rays, radium); effects of nonionizing radiation (welding flash, ultraviolet rays, microwaves, sunburn), etc.

(26) Disorders due to repeated traumaExamples: Noise-induced hearing loss; synovitis, tenosynovitis, and bursitis; Raynaud’s phenomena; and other conditions due to repeated motion, vibration, or pressure.

lost workdays; or(3) NONFATAL CASES WITHOUT LOST WORKDAYS, which

result in transfer to another job or termination of employment, or require medical treatment, or involve loss of consciousness or restriction of work or motion. This category also includes any diagnosed occupational illnesses which are reported to the employer but are not classified as fatalities or lost workday cases.
