Why Is This Important?

Every year, millions of workers suffer a serious job-related injury or illness. Workplace injuries and illnesses can not only cause physical pain and suffering but also loss of employment and wages, burdensome debt, inability to maintain a previous standard of living, loss of home ownership, or even bankruptcy.

Definition

Non-fatal occupational injuries and illnesses reported by employers that occurred on or off an employer's premises.

Data Notes

How the Measure is Calculated

  • Numerator:

    Estimated number of cases of work-related injuries and illnesses involving days away from work during a calendar year

  • Denominator:

    Estimated total full-time equivalents (FTEs) worked during a calendar year. An FTE is the number of working hours that represents one full-time employee during a specific time period. For example, two individuals working half time can equal 1 FTE.
