Preface

Data for this publication were collected in accordance with the provisions of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970. The estimates gauge the occurrence of injuries and illnesses resulting from working conditions over which the Occupational Safety and Health Administration of the U.S. Department of Labor, the Mine Safety and Health Administration of the U.S. Department of Labor, and the Federal Railroad Administration of the U.S. Department of Transportation exercise statutory authority.

The estimates represent the injury and illness experience of employers in private sector establishments for the years 1973-77. For each survey, report forms were mailed to employers in the year following the reference year of the survey.

The 1977 survey sample was about 85,000 below the number sampled in the 1976 survey. The sample was modified downward in response to the Office of Management and Budget and the Commission on Federal Paperwork’s proposal to reduce the amount of paperwork required of the employer. The number of sample units selected for the construction and

manufacturing industries was not reduced and, therefore, there was no loss in statistical detail for these industries. However, the reduction resulted in less detailed statistics in the other nonmanufacturing industries surveyed, except for some selected three-digit industries which have historically high incidence rates.

This bulletin was prepared in the Office of Occupational Safety and Health Statistics, Theodore J. Golonka, Assistant Commissioner, by the staff of the Division of Periodic Surveys, under the direction of William Mead. Data were collected and tabulated in the Office of Statistical Operations with the cooperation of the Regional Offices of the Bureau of Labor Statistics and participating State agencies identified in appendix C. State data on occupational injuries and illnesses will be released in a separate publication.

Occupational Injuries and Illnesses, 1977

Total Injuries and Illnesses

Incidence ratesOccupational injuries and illnesses occurred at a

rate of 9.3 per 100 full-time workers during 1977 (table l ); on the average, l out of every l l workers in the private economy was injured or made ill while on the job. Or, in terms of hours of exposure on the job, l injury or illness was recorded for every 21,500 hours worked. The estimates represent the experience of 68 million workers in over 5 million establishments in the private sector of the American economy. In addition to excluding self-employed individuals in the private sector, the 1977 estimates exclude farms with fewer than 11 employees.

The 1977 private sector rate represents a slight increase from the 1976 rate of 9.2—about 2 percent. The incidence rate changed little from 1976 to 1977 because the increase in the number of hours worked was just about proportionate to the increase in the number of injuries and illnesses. The increase in employment and hours worked was about the same for high- risk industries (agriculture, forestry, and fishing; mining; construction; manufacturing; and transportation and public utilities) as for low-risk industries (wholesale and retail trade; finance, insurance, and real estate; and services).

Rates for the major industry divisions ranged from 15.5 in construction to 2.0 in finance, insurance, and real estate (chart 1). Injury and illness rates for all the goods-producing industry divisions (agriculture, forestry, and fishing; mining; construction; and manufacturing) and only one service-producing industry (transportation and public utilities) were higher than the average for the private sector. Manufacturing, which employs nearly one-third of the total private sector work force, had a rate of 13.1. Rates decreased in three of the eight industry divisions from 1976 to 1977, increased in four divisions, and stayed the same for one division-finance, insurance, and real estate. The agriculture, forestry, and fishing industries had the greatest change—up from 1 1.0 to 11.5 injuries and illnesses per 100 full-time workers.

The mobile home industry had the highest injury and illness incidence rate, 35.7 per 100 full-time workers

(text table 1). The lowest injury and illness rate was recorded in insurance agents, brokers and service—0.7—or on an average of 1 case for every 143 workers compared to 1 in every 3 workers in the mobile home industry. Of the 19 industries with the highest injury and illness rates, all were manufacturing industries.

Injury and illness incidence rates varied according to establishment size; lower rates were experienced by workers in establishments with fewer than 50 or more than 1,000 employees (table 2). Small-sized establishments (1 to 19 employees) had a rate about one-third that for medium-sized establishments (100 to 249 employees). The pattern of higher rates of injuries and illnesses for medium-sized establishments has remained constant over the past several years.

Table 2 also includes quartile rates. (Quartile rates are not subject to the upward bias inherent in the mean or total case rate—a few reporting units with a high incidence of cases tend to inflate the mean rate.) The quartile data show that in at least three-fourths of the establishments in the private sector virtually no injuries and illnesses occurred during 1977. In manufacturing, one-half of the establishments had a rate of 0 .0 , and

one-fourth had a rate greater than or equal to 16.6. In construction, the industry division with the highest overall rate, about three-fourths of the establishments had a rate less than or equal to 8.6. Chart 2 shows the mean and the quartile rates for several industries with the highest total case rates.

Chart 3 indicates that by incidence rate interval, the average proportion of establishments in which virtually no injuries or illnesses occurred varied inversely with establishment size, while the average proportion of establishments with rates between 0.1 and 9.9 varied directly with establishment size. Middle-sized establishments had the largest proportion of firms with injury and illness incidence rates of 10.0 and above.

Number of injuries and illnessesThere were nearly 5.5 million job-related injuries

and illnesses in 1977—an increase of about 277,000 or nearly 6 percent from the previous year (table 3). Manufacturing industries accounted for a much larger percentage of injuries and illnesses than of employment. Manufacturing and wholesale and retail trade industries accounted for about two-thirds of all private sector injuries and illnesses.

Lost workday injuries and illnessesLost workday injuries and illnesses occurred at a

rate of 3.8 per 100 full-time workers in 1977—up nearly 9 percent from 1976. Among industry divisions, the rates ranged from 0.8 in finance, insurance, and real estate to 6.0 in mining. The logging camps and logging contractors industry experienced the highest rate of lost workday cases among 3-digit industries (chart 4). The logging camps and logging contractors industry had a mean rate of 15.4; however, one-half of the establishments had a rate less than 0 .0 .

In 1977 there were approximately 2.2 million lost workday cases in the private sector. The number of cases increased in all industry divisions. The largest increase was in services industries, up by about 1 8 percent from 1976. As in previous years, the majority of all lost workday injuries and illnesses occurred in manufacturing industries, nearly 44 percent of all lost workday injuries and illnesses.

Lost workdays due to injuries and illnessesThe 1977 lost workdays incidence rate increased

slightly—from 60.5 in 1976 to 61.5 in 1977. The rates increased in 5 of the 8 industry divisions. The rates for the agriculture, forestry, and fishing; finance, insurance, and real estate; and services industries decreased by 3, 10, and 8 percent respectively. Among 3-digit industries, water transportation services experienced the highest rate of lost workdays (chart 5.) The water transportation services rate of 473.0 injury and illness lost workdays was more than 7 times the rate of the private sector.

According to another measure of lost worktime—the number of injuries and illnesses involving 15 or more days away from work—the mining division continued to experience the most severe lost workday cases. In mining, 36 percent of the days-away-from-work cases lasted 15 days or longer (text table 2). Although the number of days-away-from-work cases increased in all industry divisions, the percentage of these cases involving 15 or more days decreased in 6 of the 8 industry divisions.

Among the 10 industries with the highest injury and illness rate of lost workdays, the average proportion of lost workday cases involving 15 or more days away from work was 35 percent. The percentage of days- away-from-work cases involving 15 days or more ranged from 64 percent in water transportation services to 24 percent in sanitary services (chart 6).

Although the greatest proportion of lost workday cases occurred in middle-sized establishments, injuries and illnesses resulting in 15 or more days away from work were most common in the smallest and largest establishments (chart 7).

In 1977 there were 36.1 million injuries and illnesses involving lost worktime in the private sector— up by 7 percent since 1976. Fifty percent of the increase in lost workdays can be attributed to the manufacturing industries—approximately 1.1 million days. The number of lost workdays increased in six industry divisions and decreased in the finance, insurance, and real estate and services industries.

Illnesses

Occupational illnesses include any abnormal condition or disorder, other than one resulting from an occupational injury, caused by exposure to environmental factors associated with employment. The incidence of occupational illnesses measured by the annual survey refers to the number of new illness cases occurring during a year, and does not measure continuing conditions of illness reported in previous surveys. Cases are recorded only in the year in which they are diagnosed and recognized as work related.

The recording and reporting of illnesses continue to present some measurement problems since employers (and even doctors) are often unable to recognize some illnesses as being work related. The annual survey includes data on only current and visible illnesses of workers; it does not include data on illnesses which might surface later. To the extent that occupational illnesses are unrecognized and therefore, unreported, the survey estimates understate their occurrence.

Incidence ratesDuring 1977, the incidence rate of occupational ill

nesses was 0.3 cases per 100 full-time workers, or about 3 cases per 1,000 employees. Illness rates ranged from 0.6 cases per 1,000 employees in the finance, insurance, and real estate division to 7.4 cases per 1,000 in agriculture, forestry, and fishing (table 4). Manufacturing industries had the next highest illness rate—5.1 cases per 1,000 employees.

Of all occupational illnesses, skin diseases and disorders continued to be the most frequently recorded, with a rate of 1.2 cases per 1,000 full-time workers in 1977 (table 5); leather tanning and finishing had the highest rate—19.5 cases per 1,000 full-time workers (text table 3). Dust diseases of the lungs were the least recorded occupational illness, with a rate of 3.5 cases per 100,000 full-time workers.

Number of illnessesOccupational illnesses continued to account for a

relatively small proportion of total injury and illness cases—about 3 percent. Occupational illnesses accounted for approximately 162,000 cases in 1977— down about 3 percent from 1976. The number of illnesses decreased in six out of the eight industry divisions. Manufacturing industries had a large proportion of illness cases in relation to employment—nearly 60 percent of all illnesses and less than 30 percent of all employment. In addition, the number of workdays lost due to illness decreased—the number of days lost dropped by nearly 590,000, or 40 percent from 1976. The number of days lost dropped in five of the eight industry divisions. Firms engaged in transportation and public utilities had the greatest proportion of illness cases resulting in lost worktime (44 percent); wholesale and retail trade industries had the least (around 30 percent).

While manufacturing industries experienced the largest number of illness-related cases, among major groups the food and kindred products industry experienced the largest number of illnesses among 2-digit industries (table 6). Nearly 8 percent of the total number of illnesses occurred in the food and kindred products industry—approximately 12,700 cases. Of these, nearly 5,500 involved lost worktime. Although the food and kindred products industries experienced the largest number of lost workday illnesses, the building

materials and garden supplies industry had the highest average number of lost workdays per lost workday case.

Skin diseases and disorders continued to account for about 4 of every 10 illnesses recorded, largely because they were more readily observable than other illnesses (chart 8). Disorders associated with repeated trauma caused the greatest loss of worktime. On the other hand, dust diseases of the lungs had the highest average number of lost workdays per lost workday case and the smallest proportion of illnesses involving lost worktime (table 7).

Injuries

Occupational injuries included injuries caused by work accidents or from exposure involving a single incident in the work environment. These were recorded if they resulted in death, worktime lost, medical treatment other than minor first aid, loss of consciousness, restriction of work or motion, transfer to another job, or termination of employment.

Incidence ratesOccupational injuries occurred at a rate of 9.0

recorded cases per 100 full-time workers during 1977 (table 8); on the average, an injury occurred to 1 out of every 12 workers in the private sector. About 40 percent of the recorded cases were serious enough to require the injured employee to be restricted in work activity or to take days off from work. Rates ranged from 15.2 in construction to 1.9 in finance, insurance, and real estate.

The 1977 injury rate represented a slight increase— about 1 percent—from the rate of 8.9 in 1976 (chart 9).

NOTE: 7 industry groups showed no change in the total case rate; 5 showed no change in the lost workday case rate. Dashes indicate that no industry groups were in this category.

This increase was primarily in cases involving lost worktime, which rose from a rate of 3.4 to 3.7. Changes in overall rates ranged from an increase of about 5 percent in agriculture, forestry, and fishing to a decrease of l percent in mining and transportation and public utilities. Four industry divisions registered increases, two divisions registered decreases, and two had no change. The rate for the service-producing industries (transportation and public utilities; wholesale and retail trade; finance, insurance, and real estate; and services) rose 3 percent from 1976 to 1977—6.3 to 6.5. This increase was attributable to the rise in rates in the trade and services industries. The rate for the goods- producing industries (agriculture, forestry, and fishing; mining; construction; and manufacturing) also rose from 1976 to 1977, but not as much—from l 2.8 to l 2.9 or by l percent.

The overall injury rate for manufacturing industries, the largest industry division, did not change between 1976 and 1977. The rates for ten major industry groups in manufacturing decreased from 1976 to 1977, seven increased, and three did not change. Changes in rates ranged from a decrease of 9 percent in tobacco manufactures to an increase of around 5 percent in stone, clay, and glass products. Over 80 percent of the manufacturing industries which had changes in rates had changes of less than 5 percent. Lumber and wood products continued to have the highest injury rate— 22.0 ; apparel and other textile products and instruments and related products had the lowest—6.5.

Nearly 60 percent of the 36 industry groups experiencing increases in overall rates, had increases of less than 6 percent (text table 4). Increases ranged from 6 to 11 percent for approximately 40 percent of the industry groups based on lost workday injury rates. The majority of the industry groups that recorded decreases in both total case rates and lost workday cases had decreases of less than 6 percent.

Incidence rate trends since 1973Between 1973 and 1977, the total case incidence

rate for all industries dropped by 15 percent—down

from 10.6 to 9.0 injuries per 100 full-time workers (text table 5). This decrease occurred primarily in the less serious cases—those involving no loss of worktime— which dropped by nearly 27 percent. However, the rate for lost workday injuries rose 12 percent; the severity of injuries as measured by the lost workday incidence rate also increased by 17 percent, from 51.2 days lost per 100 full-time workers to 60.0 (chart 10).

Incidence rates by establishment sizeIn the total private sector, lower injury rates were

experienced by workers in establishments with fewer than 20 or with 2,500 or more employees (chart 1 1). Establishments with 50 to 1,000 employees experienced higher injury rates in 1977, with the highest rate occurring in those with 100 to 249 employees. Rates for mining, construction, and transportation and public utilities were highest in establishments with 50 to 99 employees (table 9). Injury rates in agriculture, forestry, and fishing generally rose with establishment size.

Between 1976 and 1977, incidence rates increased in four employment-size groups, decreased in the largest establishments ( 1,000 or more employees) and remained the same in firms with 1 to 19 employees and 500 to 999 employees.

'Incidence rate represents the number of injuries and lost workdays per 100 full-time workers. See appendix D.

NOTE: Separate injury detail for all of mining, except oil and gas extraction, was not available for 1973. Data for 1975 and 1976 exclude farms with fewer than 11 employees.


Number of injuriesDuring 1977, private sector workers experienced

nearly 5.3 million work-related injuries. About 3.1 million or 59 percent did not involve lost worktime. The proportion of injuries involving either lost workdays or fatalities rose 2 percentage points between 1976 and 1977 from 39 percent to 41 percent. The ratio in 1977 ranged between 40 and 56 percent of total injuries in 5 of the 8 industry divisions. Only in construction, manufacturing, and wholesale and retail trade was the ratio less than 40 percent.

Nearly 45 percent of all injuries occurred in manufacturing, which employed about 30 percent of all employees in the private sector. On the other hand, the finance, insurance, and real estate and services industries recorded 1 3 percent of the in juries while accounting for about the same number of workers as manufacturing.

The 1977 private sector level of nearly 5.3 million injuries represents an increase of 6 percent from the 5.0 million injuries recorded for 1976. The increase of about 300,000 cases was nearly proportionate to the rise in hours worked between the 2 years. The number of injuries for 1977 was about a half million less than the 1973 estimate. This reduction came in a period when the work force covered by the statistics rose by nearly 4 million to a total of 67.9 million in 1977.

Fatalities

The fatality data which follow cover only employers with 1 1 or more employees because in 1977 the survey sample was reduced by 85,000. The reduction, which affects primarily employers with fewer than 1 1 employees, was in response to the Presidential directive on reduction of the paperwork burden in survey operations. The sample reduction results in larger sampling errors in the fatality data (statistically rare occurrences), making year-to-year comparisons for this group of small employers of questionable reliability.

In 1977, about 4,760 fatalities were estimated to be work related for employers with 1 1 or more employees. The comparable figure in the previous year was 3,940, thus, the estimate for 1977 represents an increase of approximately 20 percent. For employers with 1 1 or more employees, the estimated numbers of fatalities in 1975, 1974, and 1973 were 4,570, 4,970, and 5,340, respectively. The average number of fatalities for employers with 10 or fewer employees for 1973-77 was 800. A figure for fatalities for all classes of employees can be derived by adding the average of 800 fatalities to the estimate for employers with 1 1 or more employees.

Worktime Lost

Two measures are currently used as estimates of worktime lost: 1) Lost workday cases, which primarily measure the occurrence of injuries, and 2) days lost, which indicate the severity of the cases. Lost worktime includes both days away from work and days o f restricted work activity.

Lost workday cases involving days away from work include those cases which result in days away from work, or a combination of days away from work and days of restricted work activity. Lost workday cases involving restricted work activity are cases resulting in restricted work activity only—the employee reported to work but could not perform all the duties of the job.

Lost workday injury casesIncidence rates. Lost workday injuries occurred at a rate of 3.7 per 100 full-time workers during 1977—up 9 percent from the previous year (table 10). The private sector lost workday injury rates have varied little since 1973, when the rate was 3.4. The rate for injury cases involving days away from work was 3.5, while the rate for cases involving restricted work activity was only 0 . 2 .

Total lost workday injury rates ranged from 5.9 in mining industries to 0.8 in finance, insurance, and real estate. The greatest percentage change occurred in the services industries—up nearly 16 percent from 1976.

Special product sawmills and logging camps and logging contractors ranked first and second among the 20 industries with the highest lost workday injury rates (text table 6). These two industries were also among the

group of industries with the highest overall injury and illness incidence rates. Fourteen of the industries with the highest lost workday injury rates also ranked among the 19 industries with the highest total case rates.

Lost workday injury incidence rates have paralleled the variation in total case rates by employment-size group over the past several years. Employers with fewer than 50 or more than 1,000 workers generally experienced the highest injury rates.

Number o f lost workday injury cases. The 1977 survey indicated an increase in the number of lost workday injuries from approximately 1.9 million in 1976 to around 2.1 million in 1977—an increase of 1 1 percent. Among industry divisions the largest changes took place in services—up by 22 percent—and construction—up by 17 percent (chart 10). Manufacturing industries accounted for nearly 43 percent of the total number of lost workday cases and about 38 percent of the increase in the number of cases in 1977.

Approximately 95 percent of all lost worktime injuries involved at least 1 full day away from work. The remaining 5 percent involved restricted work activity only. The proportion of cases involving days of restricted work activity only ranged from slightly more than 1 percent in services to nearly 8 percent in manufacturing (chart 11). Manufacturing accounted for over 40 percent of all private sector injuries involving days away from work and nearly 70 percent of all injuries involving restricted work activity only (text table 7). Wholesale and retail trade, the industry with the second highest percentage of injuries causing days away from work, had less than 8 percent of the cases involving only restricted work activity. The proportion of lost worktime injuries involving only restricted work activity generally varied directly with establishment size, accounting for around 2 percent of all lost worktime cases in the 1 to 19 employee-size group, and about 25

Lost workdays due to injuriesIncidence rates. The incidence rate of lost workdays provides an indication of the severity of injuries by relating the number of days lost to a common base of exposure on the job. During 1977, the incidence rate of lost workdays increased 4 percent over the previous year—from 57.8 to 60.0 days lost per 100 full-time workers. The rates ranged from 10.2 in finance, insurance, and real estate to l 28.3 in mining. Two industry divisions indicated a decrease in lost workday rates—agriculture, forestry, and fishing by 3 percent and finance, insurance, and real estate by 7 percent.

Sixty percent of the 2-digit SIC industries experienced increases in the incidence rate of lost workdays. In manufacturing, 13 out of the 20 industries showed increases. Among 3-digit industries, water transportation services registered the highest incidence rate of lost workdays; the rate of 470.7 lost workdays in 1977 was 8 times the rate of the private sector (chart 14).

Number o f lost workdays. During 1977, approximately 35.2 million workdays were lost due to job-related injuries. This represents the loss of a full year’s work for about 140,000 workers and a 8 percent increase from the 32.5 million workdays lost in 1976. The number of workdays lost increased in all industry divisions, with the exception of finance, insurance, and real estate, which declined 2 percent. The mining industry had the greatest percentage change—up 20 percent.

There was an average of 16 lost workdays per lost workday injury for the private sector in 1977. This average measures the length of time (not counting the day of injury) the employee was away from work or could not perform all regularly assigned duties because of a job-related injury. Average days lost ranged from

6


22 in mining industries to 1 3 in finance, insurance, and real estate.

Comparison with time lost from work stoppagesDuring 1977, the percent of total worktime lost in

the private sector from job-related injuries and illnesses was higher than the percent lost due to work stoppages. Work stoppage data reflect the number of workdays employees did not work because of a dispute between labor and management which resulted in a strike or lockout. Work-related injuries and illnesses accounted for more days lost than work stoppages in alternate years since 1973 (see text table 9).

Safety training and medical examinations

Almost 2 out of 3 private sector employers had no established safety and health training program. However, those firms that did have programs employed nearly 70 percent of the total private sector work force. In three major industry groups—agriculture, forestry, and fishing; manufacturing; and transportation and public utilities—more than 50 percent of the employers maintained some form of safety program. About 4 out of 5 employees in manufacturing and transportation and public utilities were covered. The smallest percentage of employees provided safety and health programs were employed in finance, insurance, and real estate where only l out of 3 employees worked where safety training was available. The incidence rate of injuries and illnesses in 1977 was higher for those establishments which had safety and health programs than for those that did not provide them—l l.l versus 5.1 cases per 100 full-time workers (chart 15).

By employment size, both groups—those with no safety program and those with an established one—exhibited the same pattern in incidence rates (text table 10). The lowest rates occurred in both the smallest and largest units while the highest rates were in the middle employment level, the 100 to 249 employee group. Over 40 percent of the employment in establishments not providing safety training was reported in units having fewer than 20 workers. On the other hand, about two-thirds of the employees in firms providing safety

programs worked in units of 100 or more people.There was an inverse relationship between the oc

currence of occupational injuries and illnesses and the degree of physical medical examinations provided by employers in the industry as whole. Although approximately 56 percent of all employees worked in units not providing any type of medical examination, the rate of occurrence of injuries and illnesses, 8.0 , was much lower for them than for the group working for employers providing such examinations, l l .0 .

By industry division, almost 80 percent of the employees in transportation and public utilities were provided medical exams, yet the injury and illness rate for this group, 9.8, exceeded the rate of 7.7 for the re-

•^mainder of the industry. Only in manufacturing, where employers provided exams to 68 percent of their employees, was the rate of occurrence of injuries and illnesses lower for establishments providing medical exams.

The larger the firm, the more likely that medical examinations will be provided to the employees. In the smallest size group (l to 19 employees), only 10 percent of the employees worked for companies providing medical examinations, while in establishments which employed 2,500 workers or more, 94 percent were provided coverage. In establishments having 250 people or more, 80 percent of the workers were provided with some type of employer-furnished medical examination. Only in units with l ,000 to 2,499 workers was the incidence rate less for firms which provided medical examinations than for those which did not.

Among the 10 industries with the highest injury and illness incidence rates and the highest incidence rates of lost workdays, two-thirds of the employees worked in establishments providing medical examinations, and virtually all employees were provided safety and health training programs (text table l l ). Incidence rates were generally higher in establishments providing these services.

1/ Totals for divisions and 2- and 3-digit SIC codes include data for industries not shown separately.

2 / Standard Industrial Classification Manual. 1972 Edition.

_3/ Annual average employment for nonagricultural industries i9 based on the employment and earnings survey conducted by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, in cooperation with the State agencies. The employment estimate for the services division is adjusted to exclude the employment for (a) nonfarm portion of agricultural services and (b) nonclasslflable establishments. Annual average employment for the Agriculture, forestry, and fishing division is a composite of data from State unemployment insurance programs, and estimates of hired-farm workers engaged in agricultural production provided by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The agricultural production employment estimate as originally published by the Department of Agriculture is adjusted to exclude employment on farms with fewer than 11 employees.

k j The incidence rates represent the number of injuries and illnesses or lost workdays per 100 full-time workers and were calculated as: (N/EH) X 200,000, where

N ■ number of injuries and Illnesses or lost workdaysEH ■ total hours worked by all employees during calendar

year200,000 - base for 100 full-time equivalent workers (working

40 hours per week, 50 weeks per year).

5/ Includes fatalities. Because of rounding, the difference between the total and the sum of the rates for lost workday cases and nonfatal cases without lost workdays do not reflect the fatality rate.

6/ Excludes farms with fewer than 11 employees.

2J Data conforming to OSHA definitions for coal and lignite mining (SIC 11 and 12) and metal and nonmetal mining (SIC 10 and 14), and for railroad transportation (SIC 40) were provided by the Mine Safety and Health Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, and by the Federal Railroad Administration, U.S. Department of Transportation.

j4/ Data conforming to OSHA definitions for coal and lignite mining (SIC 11 and 12) and metal and nonmetal mining (SIC 10 and 14), and for railroad transportation (SIC 40) were provided by the Mining Safety and Health Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, and by the Federal Railroad Administration, U.S. Department of Transportation.

5/ Estimates of fewer than 50 cases.

NOTE: Dashes indicate no data reported, or data that donot meet publication guidelines. Because of rounding, components may not add to totals.

The number of lost workdays for the 2-digit SIC levels shown in this table can be approximated by multiplying the estimates of the number of lost workday cases by the average lost workdays per lost workday case.

Approximations of average lost workdays per lost workday case for 3- and 4-digit SIC levels can be derived by dividing the incidence rate of lost workdays by the incidence rate for lost workday cases appearing in tables 1 and 4.

Appendix A. Scope of Survey and Technical Notes

Scope of surveyThe occupational injury and illness data reported

through the annual survey were based on the records which employers in the following private industries maintain under the Occupational Safety and Health Act: Agriculture, forestry, and fishing, SIC 01 -09; oil and gas extraction, SIC 13; construction, SIC 15-17; manufacturing, SIC 20-39; transportation and public utilities, SIC 41-42 and 44-49; wholesale and retail trade, SIC 50-59; finance, insurance, and real estate, SIC 60-67; and services, SIC 70-87 and 89. Excluded from the survey were self-employed individuals; farmers with fewer than 11 employees; employers regulated by other Federal safety and health laws; and Federal, State, and local government agencies.

Data conforming to definitions of recordable occupational injuries and illnesses for coal, metal, and nonmetal mining, and railroad transportation were provided by the Mine Safety and Health Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, and the Federal Railroad Administration, U.S. Department of Transportation. In a separate reporting system, agencies of the Federal Government file reports on occupational injuries and illnesses with the Secretary of Labor comparable with those of private industry. At this time, State and local government agencies are not represented in the national sample.

About 185,000 national sample units were selected nationwide to participate in the 1977 survey; of these about 26,000 were ineligible to be included in the final response count. Replies were received from approximately 94 percent of the eligible sample units—or about 150,000. The 1977 estimates were based on reports from about 68,000 establishments in manufacturing industries and 82,000 in nonmanufacturing industries.

Sample designThe sample was selected to represent private indus

tries in the States and territories. The survey results were used to produce estimates of the number of occurrences and incidence rates of occupational injuries and illnesses by industry and employment size for the Nation as a whole.

The universe frame was stratified by industry and by employment-size group. Because the survey is a

Federal-State cooperative program and the data had to meet the needs of participating State agencies, the universe was then stratified by State prior to sample selection. An optimum allocation was achieved by distributing the sample to each size group proportionate to the total employment and the- variation among size groups. The sampling ratios for the various employment-size groups ranged from all units above a certain size class selected with certainty through declining proportions in each smaller employment-size group. The certainty strata were usually greater than 100 employees, although these may have ranged downward in employment size depending upon the total employment in the industry. Sample sizes were then adjusted to produce integral sample ratios. The ratios determined for each industry-employment-size group were used to select a sample within a State-industry-employment- size group estimating cell. A segment of each State sample was selected for generating national estimates. States may choose to expand the sample to concentrate on a particular industry.

Estimating proceduresWeighting. Weights were determined by the inverse of the sampling ratios for the size class from which the unit was selected. Using a weighting procedure, sample units were made to represent all units in their size class for a particular industry. Each sample member was assigned a State weight and, if it was to be used to produce national estimates, a national weight as well. The national and State weights were often different since the sample unit may have represented a different proportion of the universe in each case. Weights of responding units were adjusted in each sampling cell to account for the nonresponse in that cell. Units were then shifted into the estimating cell determined by industry classification and reported employment. Each unit carries into the estimating cell the weight of its sampling cell, which was adjusted for nonresponse. Data for each unit were multiplied by the appropriate nonresponse adjusted weight. The products were then aggregated to obtain totals for the estimating cell.

Benchmarking. Data were further adjusted to reflect the actual employment in an industry during the survey year. Since the universe file which provides the sample

73


frame was not current to the reference year of the survey, it was necessary to benchmark the data to reflect current employment levels.

The benchmarking procedure related the employment estimate used in sampling to the actual employment for the reference year of the survey. The ratio of the actual employment to the weighted employment estimate is called the benchmark factor. The aggregated weighted nonresponse-adjusted characteristics of the estimating cell were multipled by the benchmark factor so that the cell became more representative of the universe during the survey reference year.

Federal-State cooperationUnder grant arrangements with State agencies, re

spondents completed a single reporting form which was used to generate both national and State estimates. This eliminated duplicate reporting and, together with the use of identical techniques at the national, and State levels, ensured maximum comparability of estimates.

Rounding of published estimatesThe original tabulations on which data of the num

ber of recorded fatalities and nonfatal injuries and illnesses were based showed all estimates to the nearest whole unit. Estimates of the numbers of injuries and illnesses were rounded to the nearest thousand. Derived percents were computed after the estimates were rounded.

Industrial classificationReporting units were classified into industries by

their principal product or activity. The data were tabulated according to the 1972 edition of the Standard Industrial Classification Manual.

Reliability of estimatesEstimates based on a sample may differ from figures

that would have been obtained had a complete census of establishments been possible using the same schedules or procedures. As in any survey, the results are subject to errors of response and reporting, as well as sampling variability. Errors of response and reporting are minimized through comprehensive edit procedures and follow-up contacts with employers.

The relative error is a measure of sampling variability—variations which occur by chance because only a sample of the establishments is in the survey. In conjunction with the estimates, the relative standard error serves to define the confidence intervals or ranges that would include the comparable complete coverage value. The chances are about 2 out of 3 that the estimate would have been produced in the range of 1 standard error above to 1 standard error below the estimated value, and about 19 out of 20 that the esti

mates would have been in the range of 2 standard errors above and below the estimated value.

Because of the complex two-stage ratio estimation procedure, most 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. The relative errors approximate the sampling errors of the incidence rates.

As an example of the use of the relative errors, general building construction (SIC 15) has an estimated incidence rate for total cases of 15.0 per 100 full-time workers and a relative error of 2 percent. The chances are 2 out of 3 that a complete census would produce a rate between 15.3 and 14.7, and the chances are 19 out of 20 that the rate produced from a complete count would be between 1 5.6 and 14.4. 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 4-percent relative error. The chances are 2 out of 3 that a census would show a rate between 5.9 and 5.5 and 19 out of 20 that the rate could be between 6.2 and 5.2. Similarly, the number of occupational injuries and illnesses estimated for SIC 15 was 136,800 with a relative error of 2 percent. Thus, the chances are 2 out of 3 that a census would show' a number between approximately 139,500 and 134,100 and 19 out of 20 that the number would be within a range of approximately 142,300 and 131,300.

Publication guidelinesThe BLS tabulating system generates occupational

injury and illness estimates for several 2-, 3-, and 4- digit SIC industry levels. This bulletin, however, excludes estimates for certain industries if one 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 or more of the employment for the industry, or two companies combined could not equal or exceed 75 percent of the industry employment.

2. 1977 annual average employment for the industry was less than 10,000. However, industries with annual average employment of less than 10,000 were published if the majority of the employment for an industry was reported in the survey.

3. Relative standard error for lost workday cases at 1 standard deviation was more than 15 percent for the industry level in manufacturing and 20 percent in nonmanufacturing.

4. Benchmark factor for the industry level was less than 0.90 or greater than 1.49.


Data for an unpublished industry were included in items of data were suppressed for publishable indus-the total shown for the broader industry level of which tries when the relative standard error for the estimateit is a part. In addition to deleting industries, selected was equal to or exceeded 60 percent.

Appendix B. OSH A No. 103 Report Form and Instructions


Dear Employer:

The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 requires the Secretary of Labor to collect, compile, and analyze statistics on occupational injuries and illnesses. This is accomplished through a jo int, Federal-State survey program with States that have received Federal grants for collecting and compiling statistics. Establishments are selected for this survey on a sample basis w ith varying probabilities depending upon size. Certain establishments may be included in each year's sample because of their importance to the statistics for their industry.

You have been selected to participate in the nationwide Occupational Injuries and Illnesses Survey fo r 1977. Under the Occupational Safety and Health Act, your report is mandatory.

The following items are enclosed for your use: (1) Instructions fo r completing the form; (2) Form OSH A No. 103 and a copy for your files; and (3) An addressed return envelope. Please complete Form OSH A No. 103 and return it w ithin three weeks in the envelope provided.

If you have any questions about this survey, contact the survey collection agency indicated on Form OSHA No. 103.

Thank you for your cooperation with this important survey.

00~vl

Sincerely,

EULA BINGHAM O Assistant Secretary for Occupational Safety and Health

SURVEY REPORTING REGULATIONS

T itle 29, Part 1904.20-22 o f the Code o f Federal Regulations requires tha t: each em ployer shall return the completed survey fo rm , OSHA No. 103, w ith in 3 weeks o f receipt in accordance w ith the instructions shown below.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING FORM OSHA NO. 103 1977 OCCUPATIONAL INJURIES AND ILLNESSES SURVEY

(Covering Calendar Year 1977)

Change of Ownership— When there has been a change of ownership during the report period, only the records of the current owner are to be entered in the report. Explain fu lly under "Comments."

Partial-Year Reporting— For establishments which were not in existence for the entire report year, the report should cover the portion of the period during which the establishment(s) was in existence. Explain fu lly under "Comments."

SECTION I. ESTABLISHMENTS INCLUDED IN THE REPORTThis report should include only those establishments located in, or identified by, the Report Location or Identification designation which appears below your mailing address. This designation may be a geographical area, usually a county or c ity, or it could be a brief description of your operation within a geographical area. If you have any questions concerning the coverage of this report, please contact the agency identified on the OSHA No. 103 report form.

Enter in Section I. the number of establishments (as defined below) included in this report.

DEFINITION OF ESTABLISHMENT

An ESTABLISHMENT Is defined as— a single physical location where business is conducted or where services or industria l operations are perform ed. (For example: a factory, m ill, store, hote l, restaurant, movie theatre, farm , ranch, bank, sales office, warehouse, or central adm inistrative o ffice.)

For firm s engaged In activities such as construction, transportation, com m unication, or electric, gas and sanitary services, which may be physically dispersed, reports should cover the place to which employees norm ally report each day.

Reports fo r personnel w ho do not p rim arily report o r w ork at a single establishment, such as traveling salesmen, technicians, engineers, etc., should cover the location from which they are paid or the base from which personnel operate to carry o u t the ir activities.

SECTION II. ANNUAL AVERAGE EMPLOYMENT IN 1977Enter in Section II. the average of full and part-time employees who worked during calendar year 1977 in the establishment(s) included in this report. Include all classes of employees, including seasonal, temporary, administrative, supervisory, clerical, professional, technical, sales, delivery, installation, construction, and service personnel, as well as operating and related workers.

Annual Average employment should be computed by summing the employment from all pay periods during 1977 and then dividing that sum by the total number of such pay periods throughout the entire year, including periods with no employment. For example, if you had the following monthly employment— Jan.-10; Feb.-10; Mar.-10; Apr.-5; May-5; June-5; July-5; Aug.-O; Sept.-O; Oct.-O; Nov.-5; Dec.-5— you would sum the number of employees fo r each monthly pay period (in this case. 60) and then divide that total by 12 (the number of pay periods during the year) to derive an annual average employment of 5.

SECTION III. TOTAL HOURS WORKED IN 1977Enter in Section III. the total number of hours actually worked by all classes of employees during 1977. Be sure to include ONLY time on duty. DO NOT include any non-work time even though paid, such as vacations, sick leave, holidays, etc. The hours worked figure should be obtained from payroll or other time records wherever possible; if hours worked are not maintained separately from hours paid, please enter your best estimate. If actual hours worked are not available for employees paid on commission, salary, by the mile, etc., hours worked may be estimated on the basis o f scheduled hours or 8 hours per workday.

(Example— If a group of 10 salaried employees worked an average of 8 hours per day, 5 days a week, for 50 weeks of the report period the total hours worked for this group would be 1 0 x 8 x 5 x 5 0 = 20,000 hours for the report period.)

SECTION IV. SUPPORT ACTIVITIES PERFORMED FOR OTHER ESTABLISHMENTS OF YOUR COMPANYIt is necessary to know whether this report includes any establishment(s) whose primary function is to provide supporting services to other establishments of your company. The more important examples include central administrative (headquarters or district) offices; research, development, or testing facilities; and storage (warehouses).

Answer "N o " if (a) services are not the primary function of any establishment(s) included in this report or (b) if services are provided but only on a contract or fee basis for the general public or for other business firms.

Answer "Yes" only if supporting services are provided to other establishments of your company. Also, indicate the primary type of service or support provided by checking as many boxes as apply. For example, if one separate establishment is a central administrative office and another is a warehouse, check both (1) and (3). If several supporting services are performed in one establishment at a single location, check the one box which best describes the primary activity.

SECTION V. NATURE OF BUSINESS IN 1977In order to assign the appropriate nature of business code, we must have information about the specific economic activity carried on by the establishment(s) included in your report during calendar year 1977.

0 0 NOTE; If more than one establishment is included (as indicated in Section I.), information in 00 Section V. should reflect the combined activities of all such establishments. One code will be

assigned which best indicates the nature o f business of the group of establishments as a whole.

Part A : General A ctiv ity— Enter the principal activity during 1977 in general terms such as manufacturing, construction, trade, finance, services, etc.

Part B: Specific A ctiv ity— List in order of importance the specific products, lines of trade, types of services, or other economic activities. Provide as much detail as possible. Opposite each entry, please enter the approximate percentage o f 1977 annual dollar value of production, sales receipts etc., as appropriate. Reliable estimates are acceptable.

SECTION VI. RECORDABLE INJURIES AND ILLNESSESCheck the appropriate box. If you checked "Yes" complete the remainder of the questionnaire. If you checked "N o " complete Section V II. (Parts A-C) and Section IX.

SECTION V II. SUPPLEMENTARY DATA ON JOB SAFETY AND HEALTH Part A: Enter the number corresponding to the first month in 1977 in which your establish

ments) had an OSHA compliance inspection. For example, if the inspection occurred in March, enter "0 3 ." If the inspection occurred in November enter "1 1 ," etc. Include inspections under the Federal or State equivalents of the Occupational Safety and Health Act by Federal or State inspectors and other inspections which may result in penalties for violations of safety standards. Do not include inspections limited to elevators or boilers or those which are consultative in nature.

Part B: Periodic general medical examinations: examinations administered by a doctor, orregistered professional personnel under the standing orders of a doctor, in which medical opinions or conclusions are drawn.

Periodic medical surveillance examinations: periodic screening of employees who are exposed to toxic substances, hazardous materials, or injurious forces (e.g., noise, radiation, etc.).

SECTION V III. INJURY AND ILLNESS SUMMARYThis section can be completed quickly and easily by copying the data already entered on your OSHA No. 102 "Summary of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses" fo r 1977 or by summarizing the data from your OSHA No. 100 "Log of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses."

NOTE: If this report includes more than one establishment, the separate OSHA No. 102 summaries for each must be added and the sums entered in Section V III. However, you should first make sure that each OSHA No. 102 form has been correctly prepared. The OSHA No. 102 form is the summary of cases which have been entered on the Log of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses (OSHA No. 100) during calendar year 1977. Please review the Log to make sure that all entries are correct and complete. Each case should be included in only one of the three types: Fatalities (Log column 8); Lost Workday Cases (Log column 9); or Nonfatal Cases Without Lost Workdays (Log column 10). The Summary (OSHA No. 102) should have been completed by summarizing, separately, occupational injuries (code 10) and the seven categories of occupational illnesses (code 21 through 29) according to instructions on the back of the Summary form. Please remember that, if your employees’ loss of workdays is still continuing at the time the summary is completed, you should estimate the number of future workdays they will lose and add this estimate to the actual workdays already lost.

NOTE: All injuries which, in your judgment, required only First A id Treatment, even when administered by a doctor or nurse, should no t be included on this report. First Aid Treatment is defined as one-time treatment and subsequent observation of minor scratches, cuts, burns, splinters, etc.

SECTION IX.Please complete all parts, including telephone number. Then return the OSHA No. 103 form (but NOT your file copy) in the self-addressed envelope.

Appendix D. Glossary of Terms

Average lost workdays per

Cooperative program

Employment-size groupI

Incidence rate

Lost workday cases

lost workday case The number of workdays lost divided by the number oflost 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.

Mean. Number of injuries and/or illnesses, or lost workdays experienced by 100 full-time workers. The rate is calculated as:

N x 200,000 where EH*

N = number of occupational injuries and/or illnesses, or lost workdays

EH = total hours worked by all employees during calendar year

200,000 — base for 100 full-time equivalent workers (working 40 hours per week, 50 weeks per year).

Median. Incidence rate is the middle measure in the distribution—one-half of the establishments have an incidence rate more than and half less than the median rate.

Middle range. (Interquartile) is defined by two measures—one-fourth of the establishments have a rate less than the first quartile and one-fourth a rate more than the third quartile rate.

Cases which involve days away from work, or days of restricted work activity, or both.

(1) Lost workday cases involving days away from work Those cases which result in days away from work, or a combination of days away from work and days of restricted work activity.

(2) Lost workday cases involving restricted work activityThose cases which result in restricted activity only.

92


Lost workdays The number of workdays (consecutive or not) the employee was away from work or limited to restricted work activity because of an occupational injury or illness.

(1) Lost workdays—away from work The number of workdays (consecutive or not) on which the employee would have worked but could not because of occupational injury or illness.

(2) Lost workdays— restricted work activity The number of workdays (consecutive or not) on which, because of injury or illness: (1) the employee was assigned to another job on a temporary basis, or (2) the employee worked at a permanent job less than full time, or (3) the employee worked at a permanently assigned job but could not perform all duties normally connected with it.

The number o f days away from work or days o f restricted work activity does not include the day of injury or onset of illness or any days on which the employee would not have worked even though able to work.

Medical treatment Includes treatment administered by a physician or byregistered professional personnel under the standing orders of a physician. Medical treatment does not include first-aid treatment (one-time treatment and subsequent observation of minor scratches, cuts, burns, splinters, and so forth, which do not ordinarily require medical care) even though provided by a physician or registered professional personnel.

Occupational illness Any abnormal condition or disorder, other than oneresulting from an occupational injury, caused by exposure to environmental factors associated with employment. It includes acute and chronic illnesses or diseases which may be caused by inhalation, absorption, ingestion, or direct contact, and which can be included in the categories listed below. The following categories were used by em ployers to classify reco rd able occupational illnesses:

(21) Occupational skin diseases or disorders Examples: Contact dermatitis, eczema, or rash caused by primary irritants and sensitizers or poisonous plants; oil acne; chrome ulcers; chemical burns or inflammations; etc.

(22) Dust diseases of the lungs (pneumoconioses) Examples: Silicosis, asbestosis, coal worker’s pneumoconiosis, byssinosis, and other pneumoconioses.

(23) Respiratory conditions due to toxic agents Examples: Pneumonitis, pharyngitis, rhinitis or acute congestion due to chemicals, dusts, gases, or fumes; farmer’s lung; etc.

injury and death, or the length of the illness; or

(2) Lost workday cases, other than fatalities, that result in lost workdays; or

(3) Non fatal 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.

Refers to survey form OSHA No. 103 which is completed and returned by the selected sample unit.

A classification system developed by the Office of Management and Budget, Executive Office of the President, for use in the classification of establishments


by type of activity in which engaged. Each establishment is assigned an industry code for its major activity which is determined by the product or group of products, or services rendered. Establishments may be classified in 2-digit, 3-digit, or 4-digit industries, according to the degree of information available.

State (when mentioned alone) Refers to a State of the United States, the District ofColumbia, American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands.
