Source Description

The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) is the principal Federal agency responsible for measuring labor market activity, working conditions, and price changes in the economy. Its mission is to collect, analyze, and disseminate essential economic information to support public and private decision-making. As an independent statistical agency, BLS serves its diverse user communities by providing products and services that are objective, timely, accurate, and relevant.

Methodology

The Injuries, Illnesses, and Fatalities (IIF) program is a program at the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) that collects and reports information about workplace injuries, illnesses, and fatalities. The program’s data is collected annually through the Survey of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses (SOII) and the Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries (CFOI). The IIF program provides information on the number and incidence rate of work-related injuries, illnesses, and fatalities, and how these statistics vary by industry, occupation, geography, incident, and other characteristics. For more information, please visit the Bureau of Labor Statistics Injuries, Illnesses, and Fatalities web page.
Note: The number of States for which SOII data are available varies from year to year due primarily to changes in State participation in the SOII.
