Oregon private-sector resultsOregon’s private-sector workers suffered work-related injuries and illnesses at a rate of 4.0 for every 100 full-time employees in the 2016 calendar year. Of the 49,990 total recordable cases in 2016, 59.2 percent resulted in cases with days away from work, job transfer, or restriction.
DARTThe private-sector cases with days away from work, job transfer, or restriction (DART) rate was 2.4 in 2016.
In 2016, the highest DART rate among industry divisions was 5.1 for real estate, rental and leasing. The lowest rate was 0.2 for professional, scientific, and technical services Industry data are based on the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS), which replaced the Standard Industrial Classification system as the means of classifying businesses by the type of activity in which they are primarily engaged. The Bureau of Labor Statistics Survey of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses first reported NAICS-based data in 2003.
Oregon public-sector resultsThe public-sector total cases incidence rate was 4.0 in 2016. The state government total cases rate was 2.7, while the local government rate was 4.8. The 2016 public sector DART rate consists of the state government rate of 1.6 and the local government rate of 2.2. The overall public sector DART rate was 2.0.
National survey resultsNationally, the total cases incidence rate for the private sector was 2.9 in 2016. The DART rate was 1.6, and the incidence rate for other recordable cases (those not involving days away from work, job transfer, or restriction) was 1.3. The Oregon and national other recordable cases incidence rates were 1.7 and 1.3, respectively.

Data in this summary are based upon the annual Survey of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses (SOII), which collects data from a statistically selected sample of employer establishments across the state. SOII data should be distinguished from the data collected from workers’ compensation claims submitted to the department by insurers.
The public-sector total cases incidence rate of 4.0 in 2016 was unchanged from 4.0 in 2015. The state government total cases incidence rate was 2.7, while local government rate wa 4.8 in 2016. The overall public sector DART rate was 2.0.
The number of injuries and illnesses reported in a given year can be influenced by many factors, including the level of economic activity, working conditions, and work practices; worker experience and training; and the number of hours worked.

First-aid treatment: One-time treatment and subsequent observation of minor scratches, cuts, burns, splinters, and so forth that do not ordinarily require medical care, even if care is provided by a physician or registered professional.
Hours worked: Total hours worked by all employees. It includes all time on duty, but excludes vacation, holiday, sick leave, and all other nonwork time, even though paid.
Incidence rate (IR): Number of injuries and illnesses per 100 full-time workers per year. The rate is calculated as:
IR = (N/EH) x 200,000
where: N = number of injuries and illnesses or days away from work, restriction, or job transfer
EH = total hours worked by all employees during the calendar year
200,000 = base for 100 equivalent full-time workers (working 40 hours per week, 50 weeks per year)
Medical treatment: Treatment administered by a physician or a registered professional under the standing orders of a physician. Medical treatment does not include first-aid treatment provided by a physician or registered professional, nor does it include treatment ordinarily considered diagnostic or preventive in nature.
North American Industry Classification System (NAICS): A classification system developed by the Office of Statistical Standards, Executive Office of the President/Office of Management and Budget for use in classifying establishments based on the activities in which they are primarily engaged. NAICS divides the economy into 20 sectors. Establishments are grouped into industries according to the similarity of production processes. Establishments may be classified in 2-, 3-, 4-, 5-, or 6-digit industries, according to the degree of information available.
The survey establishments are classified in industry groups based on the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). The 2014 through 2015 surveys used the
GlossaryAnnual average employment: This is the average number of full-and part-time employees who worked during the calendar year. It includes all classes of employees (administrative, supervisory, clerical, professional, technical, sales, delivery, installation, construction, and service personnel, as well as operating and related workers).
Days away from work, restriction, or job transfer (DART): Days that an employee, due to occupational injury or illness:
� Missed one or more days of work
� Could not perform one or more routine job functions, or work the full day that would have otherwise been worked (job transfer or restriction)
� Could work, but the physician or other licensed health care professional recommended the employee not perform one or more routine job functions, or not work the full day that would have otherwise been worked (job transfer or restriction)
� Had work restriction that affected only one or more routine job functions (job transfer or restriction)
� Worked a partial day of work, except for the day on which the injury occurred or the illness began (job transfer or restriction)
Employment size group: A grouping of establishments within a specified employment range.
Establishment: A single physical location where business is conducted or where services or industrial operations are performed (for example, a factory, mill, store, hotel, restaurant, movie theater, farm, ranch, bank, sales office, warehouse, or central administrative office). It is a single physical location where distinctly separate activities are performed (such as contract construction activities operated from the same physical location as a lumber yard); each activity shall be treated as a separate establishment.
Appendix A

2012 edition, the 2009 through 2013 surveys used the 2007 edition, and the 2003 through 2008 surveys used the 2002 edition. The 1987 Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) manual was used to define industry groups from 1989 to 2002. Industry groups before 1989 used the 1972 SIC manual.
Occupational illness: Any abnormal condition or disorder, not resulting from an occupational injury, caused by exposure to environmental factors associated with employment. It includes acute and chronic illnesses or diseases that may be caused by inhalation, absorption, ingestion, or direct contact. All diagnosed occupational illnesses are recordable.
Occupational injury: Any injury, such as a cut, fracture, sprain, amputation, etc., resulting from a work accident or from exposure involving a single incident in the work environment.
Recordable occupational injuries and illnesses: An injury or illness is recordable if an event or exposure in the work environment causes or contributes to the resulting condition or significantly aggravates a pre-existing injury or illness and results in any of the following:
� Fatalities, regardless of the time between the injury and death or the length of illness
� Days away from work, other than fatalities, that result in lost workdays
� Nonfatal cases without days away from work that result in restriction of work, transfer to another job, or termination of employment; require medical treatment beyond first aid; or result in loss of consciousness. Includes significant injuries or illnesses (cancer, chronic irreversible disease, a fractured or cracked bone, or a punctured eardrum) diagnosed by a physician or other licensed health care professional not classified as fatalities or days-away-from-work cases
Total recordable cases: All recordable occupational injuries and illnesses.
17
Occupational injury and illness data for coal, metal, and nonmetal mining and for railroad activities were provided by the Department of Labor’s Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) and the Department of Transportation’s Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), respectively. Neither of these agencies adopted the revised OSHA recordkeeping requirements before 2003. Therefore, 2016 estimates for these industries are not comparable with estimates for other industries.
Revisions to the Survey of Occupational Injuries and IllnessesThe annual survey provides estimates of the number and frequency (incidence rates) of workplace injuries and illnesses based on logs kept by employers during the year. These records reflect not only the year’s injury and illness experience but also the employers’ understanding of which cases are work related under recordkeeping rules declared by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), U.S. Department of Labor.
On Jan. 19, 2001, OSHA revised its requirements for recording occupational injuries and illnesses. These revisions became effective Jan. 1, 2002.
Due to the revised recordkeeping rule, the estimates from the 2002-2016 surveys are not comparable with those from previous years. The survey was not designed to determine the impact of the revision on the estimates of nonfatal occupational injuries and illnesses.
Details about the revised recordkeeping requirements, including a summary of the revisions and a comparison between the old and new requirements, are available from the federal OSHA website at http://www.osha.gov/recordkeeping/index.html or its Office of Public Affairs at 202-693-1999.
Starting in 2014, the Survey of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses lists establishments are classified by industry based on the 2012 North American Industry Classification System manual, as defined by the Office of Management and Budget. The NAICS recognizes hundreds of new businesses in the U.S. economy, most of which are in the service-providing sector. The NAICS classifies establishments into a detail industry based on the production processes and provided services.

Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA), which has statutory authority affecting occupational safety and health in coal, metal, and nonmetal mining. MSHA provided data for 284 mining establishments.
In total, the 2016 survey data included reports from 3,919 private establishments. One hundred twenty-five reports were received from state government units and 261 from local government units.
Survey questionnaireThe survey questionnaire requests information regarding employment, total hours worked, and the tabulation of occupational injuries and illnesses by type (i.e., fatalities, days away from work, and nonfatal cases without lost workdays). Additional information is sought regarding the type of illnesses contracted, the number of days away from work, and days of restricted work or job transfer resulting from work-related injuries and illnesses. (See Appendix G for a sample of the survey form and instructions.) Federal grant arrangements specify that the respondent fill out a single reporting form. The data are then used to develop both state and national estimates. This elimination of reporting duplication by respondents, in conjunction with the use of identical statistical techniques at the state and national levels, ensures maximum comparability of the estimates.
Sample designThe U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics selected the sample of Oregon’s private- and public-sector employers to produce estimates of the number of occurrences and incidence rates of occupational injuries and illnesses at a certain level of precision. Because the Occupational Safety and Health program required estimates by industry, the universe was first stratified into state government, local government, and private ownership, and then stratified into industries according to the North American Industry Classification System Manual, 2012 Edition.
Studies conducted by the Bureau of Labor Statistics have generated the variance in incidence rates within the specified groups of industries. Using this measure of variance, number of establishments in an industry,
Scope of SurveyThe scope of the survey includes employers in the state of Oregon with at least one employee during calendar year 2016 and includes the following private sector NAICS: Agriculture, forestry, fishing, and hunting (11); Utilities (22); Construction (23); Manufacturing (31-33); Wholesale trade (42); Retail trade (44-45); Transportation and warehousing (48-49); Information (51); Finance and insurance (52); Real estate and rental and leasing (53); Management of companies and enterprises (55); Administrative support and waste management and remediation services (56); Educational services (61); Health care and social assistance (62); Arts, entertainment, and recreation (71); Accommodation and food services (72); and Other services (except public administration) (81). In addition, all state and local government NAICS were included.
Excluded from the survey were the federal government, agricultural production employers with 10 or fewer employees, self-employed individuals, private households, railroad employers, and employers covered by the Coal Mine Health and Safety Act and the Metallic and Nonmetallic Mine Safety Acts. Although railroads and mining, except oil and gas extraction, were excluded from the survey, data for these industries were collected by federal agencies and are included in this report.
A total of 4,305 sample units were selected to participate in the 2016 survey, with 3,994 collectible units. The original and two follow-up mailings, plus telephone calls, resulted in 3,913 usable replies, a 90.9 percent overall usable response rate. About 7.2 percent of the sample units were excluded from the final tabulation from which the usable response rate was generated. The most common reasons for exclusion were that the survey unit was out of business or was outside the scope of the survey. Some other reasons for a unit not to be included in the survey are: a unit’s employees may have been included in another unit’s survey; the survey may have been a duplicate for the same location; or an adequate address could not be found.
Additional data were obtained to supplement the mailed questionnaires. Data conforming to OSHA definitions for mining enterprises in Oregon were obtained from the
Appendix C

Publication guidelinesThe Occupational Safety and Health Survey tabulating system generates injury and illness estimates for more than 1,200 NAICS industry levels in the United States. This publication includes estimates at the three- to six-digit NAICS level in the goods-producing and service-providing sectors and generally at the two- to four-digit NAICS level in government, unless one of the following situations occurs:
� Estimates are for an industry with fewer than three companies. Moreover, if three or more companies are in the industry, the employment of one company cannot constitute more than 60 percent of the employment for the industry. This publication restriction is waived if officials of the concerned companies secure permission in writing.
� Annual average employment for the industry is less than 2,000 with the exception of the mining division.
� The benchmark factor for an estimating cell is less than 0.9 or greater than 1.5.
Data for an unpublished industry are included in the total shown for the more comprehensive industry level of which it is a part.
and the employment in large establishments, a sample size was determined for each industry. Industries with higher expected incidence rates tend to be subject to more variability and were allotted a proportionately larger sample than industries with lower rates. Industries dominated by a few large establishments required proportionately smaller samples (if all of the large establishments were sampled) than industries composed of small establishments.
The number of injuries and illnesses experienced by an establishment varies according to its number of employees. For this reason, all establishments within an industry were stratified into employment size groups.
The selection of sample units was optimized by distributing the industry sample among the size groups in proportion to the total employment in the industry and the variation in the size groups. Large establishments, then, were more likely to be part of the sample than small ones. Usually, establishments with more than 100 employees were certain to be sampled, although that figure was lower for industries with a relatively small total work force.
Estimation proceduresThe injury and illness data reported by the sampling units in each estimating cell were weighted (multiplied) by the inverse of the sampling ratio. For example, a sampled establishment representing itself and three other establishments were assigned a weight of four. The reported data were multiplied by four in the estimation procedure.
The data were also benchmarked or adjusted for nonresponse and for any new establishments that became part of the universe after the sample was drawn. Benchmarking equalizes the employment in each estimating cell to a known employment for the survey period.
Industrial classificationReporting units are classified into industries on a production-oriented or supply-based conceptual framework that groups establishments into industries according to similarity in the processes used to produce goods or services. Reporting units were classified according to the 2012 edition of the North American Industry Classification System Manual.

This rate represents the number of injuries and illnesses occurring per 200,000 hours of work exposure or 100 full-time equivalent workers. The same base is used in computing the occupational injury and illness rates for Oregon and the nation.
An employer may compute rates for injuries; illnesses; days-away-from-work cases, including days away from work with or without job transfer or restriction; other recordable cases (medical-treatment cases); or the number of lost workdays. Simply replace the number of injuries and illnesses (1) in the formula with the measure for which the rate is being computed.
It is also possible to compute rates on a monthly, quarterly, or semiannual basis; by department; or any other grouping of employees. The formula, including the constant 200,000, remains the same. However, the time frame or department used for the number of injuries and illnesses (or other measure) should correspond to the hours worked, (2) in the incidence rate formula. For example, to compute a monthly rate, use the number of work injuries and illnesses for the month in the numerator and the number of employee hours worked for that month in the denominator.
Instructions for Computing Incidence Rates for an Individual CompanyIncidence rates for an individual establishment or company may be calculated by employers by using the same formula used to calculate industrywide incidence rates from the annual Occupational Injury and Illness Survey. Employers may then compare their own work injury and illness rates to the overall rates in their industry in Oregon or the nation.
The formula requires the following: (1) the number of injuries and illnesses and (2) the number of hours actually worked by all employees during the reference period. To produce an overall incidence rate determine the following:
(1) The total number of cases with days away from work, restriction, or job transfer and other recordable cases. This may be done by adding the total for columns H, I, and J on the Log of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses (OSHA Form 300). To determine the Days Away, Restricted, or Transfer (DART) rate, add columns H & I only.
(2) The total number of hours actually worked during the year by all employees from payroll or other time records. The hours worked figure should not include any nonwork time even though paid, such as vacation, sick leave, and holidays. (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 of scheduled hours or eight hours per workday.)
The formula for computing the incidence rate is as follows:
(1) Number of injuries & illnesses x 200,000 = Incidence rate(2) Employee hours worked

of 3.0 percent. The standard error is 3.0 percent of 4.0, or approximately 0.1. One can be 66.7 percent confident that the actual incident rate, the rate that would have been produced by a complete census, is between 3.9 and 4.1. This range is 3.0 percent below and above the estimated rate of 4.0. One can be 95 percent confident that the actual rate is between 3.8 and 4.2. This interval, (3.8, 4.2), is the often-used 95 percent confidence interval and is twice as wide as the previous range. Additionally, one can be 99.7 percent confident that the actual rate is between 3.6 and 4.4, a range three times as wide as the first range. Similar confidence intervals can be developed for the other survey-generated estimates by using the methodology described above.
Reliability of the EstimatesThe incidence rates and case estimates are based on an annual sample of Oregon employers and, as a result, may differ from values that would have been obtained had a complete census of establishments been possible using the same 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 in this survey have been minimized through comprehensive edit procedures and follow-up contact with employers. Errors of sampling variability were minimized through the use of randomized stratified sampling techniques and an optimal distribution of the sample size across industries.
Because only a sample is taken, estimates of an actual characteristic, such as the incidence rate of total recordable injury and illness cases, may vary had another sample been taken. Relative standard error is the measure of this variability. Relative standard error, taken together with the characteristic’s estimated value, defines confidence intervals. These intervals (ranges) serve to show the reliability of the estimates. If the estimates are reliable, the range for the estimate will be small. Using the relative standard error, one can determine a range for the estimate according to how confident one wants to be that the actual value lies within the range. The actual value will lie in an interval one standard error below to one standard error above the estimated value about 66.7 percent of the time. It will lie in the range of two standard errors below to two standard errors above the estimated value 95 percent of the time. To be very confident in finding the true value, the estimate will lie in the range of three standard deviations below to three standard deviations above the estimate 99.7 percent of the time.
Relative standard error is standard error expressed as a percent of the estimated value. The relative standard errors for the private-sector estimates are displayed in Table E1 (page 22).
The use of these relative standard errors may be clarified by an example. For 2016, the private sector has an estimated incidence rate for total recordable cases of 4.0 per 100 full-time workers and a relative standard error

Medical treatmentMedical treatment is the management and care of a patient to combat the disease or disorder. For this rule, medical treatment does not include:
� Visits to a physician or other licensed health care professional solely for observation or counseling
� The conduct of diagnostic procedures, such as X-rays and blood tests, including the administration of prescription medications solely for diagnostic purposes (e.g., eye drops to dilate pupils)
� First aid, as listed below
First-aid treatmentThe following are generally considered first-aid treatment (e.g., one-time treatment and subsequent observation of minor injuries) and should not be recorded if the work-related injury does not involve loss of consciousness, restriction of work or motion, or transfer to another job:
(A) Using a nonprescription medication at nonprescription strength (for medications available in both prescription and nonprescription form, a recommendation by a physician or other licensed health care professional to use a nonprescription medication at prescription strength is medical treatment for recordkeeping purposes)
(B) Administering tetanus immunizations (other immunizations, such as hepatitis B vaccine or rabies vaccine, are medical treatment)
(C) Cleaning, flushing, or soaking wounds on the surface of the skin
(D) Using wound coverings such as bandages, Band-Aids, gauze pads, etc.; or using butterfly bandages or Steri-Strips (other wound-closing devices such as sutures, staples, etc., are medical treatment)
(E) Using hot or cold therapy
Recordkeeping SummaryBasic recordkeeping concepts and guidelines are included with instructions inside the form OSHA No. 300 Log. The following summarizes the major recordkeeping concepts and provides additional information to aid in keeping records accurately.
An injury or illness is considered work-related if it results from an event or exposure in the work environment. The work environment is primarily composed of the following: (1) the employer’s premises and (2) other locations where employees are engaged in work-related activities or are present as a condition of their employment. When an employee is off the employer’s premises, the work relationship must be established; when on the premises, this relationship is presumed. The employer’s premises encompass the total establishment — not only the primary work facility but also such areas as company storage facilities. In addition to physical locations, equipment or materials used in the course of an employee’s work are also considered part of the employee’s work environment.
All deaths, days away from work, restricted work or transfer to another job, medical treatment beyond first aid, or loss of consciousness are recordable.
All significant injuries or illnesses diagnosed by a physician or other licensed health care professional are recordable.
Significant work-related casesWork-related cases involving cancer, chronic irreversible disease, a fractured or cracked bone, or a punctured eardrum must always be recorded under the general criteria at the time of occurrence.
Recordable and nonrecordable injuries Each case is distinguished by the treatment provided: i.e., if the injury required medical treatment, it is recordable; if only first aid was required, it is not recordable. However, medical treatment is only one of several criteria for determining recordability. Regardless of treatment, if the injury involved loss of consciousness, restriction of work or motion, or transfer to another job, the injury is recordable.
Appendix F

(F) Using any nonrigid means of support, such as elastic bandages, wraps, nonrigid back belts, etc. (devices with rigid stays or other systems designed to immobilize parts of the body are considered medical treatment for recordkeeping purposes)
(G) Using temporary immobilization devices while transporting an accident victim (e.g., splints, slings, neck collars, and back boards.
(H) Drilling of a fingernail or toenail to relieve pressure, or draining fluid from a blister
(I) Using eye patches
This is a complete list of all first-aid treatments for this standard. Treatment not included in this list is considered medical treatment.
