EMPLOYER-REPORTED WORKPLACE INJURIES AND ILLNESSES – 2014 

The nearly 3.0 million nonfatal workplace injuries and illnesses reported by private industry employers 

in 2014 occurred at a rate of 3.2 cases per 100 equivalent full-time workers, according to estimates from 

the Survey of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses (SOII) conducted by the U.S. Bureau of Labor 

Statistics. (See tables 1 and 2.) The rate reported for 2014 continues a pattern of declines that, with the 

exception of 2012, occurred annually for the last 12 years. 

Private industry employers reported nearly 54,000 fewer nonfatal injury and illness cases in 2014 

compared to a year earlier. Because of this decline combined with an increase in reported hours worked, 

the total recordable cases (TRC) incidence rate fell 0.1 cases per 100 full-time workers. The fall in the 

TRC rate was driven by a decline in the rate of other recordable cases, as rates for both cases involving 

days away from work (DAFW) and for cases of job transfer or restriction only (DJTR) were unchanged 

in 2014. Incidence rate per 100 full-time workers

Change in Industry Classifications

Beginning with the 2014 reference year, the SOII began using the 2012 North American Industry 

Classification System (NAICS). Comparison of SOII estimates for 2014 to prior years is not advised 

below the sector level due to this change. For more detailed information regarding NAICS revisions,

- 2 - 

Among all private industry sectors, the rate of reported injuries and illnesses declined in 2014 only 

among the retail trade, health care and social assistance, and accommodation and food services sectors.

Manufacturing continued a 17-year trend as the only private industry sector in which the rate of DJTR 

cases exceeded the rate of DAFW cases. The rates for these two case types were unchanged from a year 

earlier at 1.2 cases and 1.0 case per 100 full-time workers, respectively. 

Private Industry Injuries and Illnesses 

Injuries and illnesses by type of case 

Over half of the nearly 3.0 million private industry injury and illness cases reported in 2014 involved 

days away from work, job transfer, or restriction (DART cases). These cases occurred at a rate of 1.7 

cases per 100 full-time workers, unchanged from 2013. (See table 7.) The rates for the two components 

of DART cases—DAFW cases and DJTR cases—were also unchanged at 1.0 case and 0.7 cases per 100 

workers, respectively. Other recordable cases—those not involving days away from work or days of job 

transfer or restriction—accounted for the remaining nearly 1.4 million injury and illness cases in 2014, 

lowering the rate by 0.1 cases to 1.5 cases per 100 full-time workers. 

The TRC injury and illness incidence rate declined for each of the individual establishment size classes 

in 2014. The rate of injuries and illnesses remained highest among mid-size private industry 

establishments (employing 50 to 249 workers) and lowest among small establishments (employing 

fewer than 11 workers). (See table 3.) 

Injuries

Of the nearly 3.0 million nonfatal occupational injuries and illnesses in 2014, 2.8 million (95.1 percent) 

were injuries. (See table 5.) Among injuries, nearly 2.1 million (75.0 percent) occurred in serviceproviding industries, which employed 82.4 percent of the private industry workforce. The remaining 

nearly 0.7 million injuries (25.0 percent) occurred in goods-producing industries, which accounted for 

17.6 percent of private industry employment. 

Illnesses

Workplace illnesses accounted for 4.9 percent of the nearly 3.0 million injury and illness cases in 2014

and occurred at a rate of 15.3 cases per 10,000 full-time workers, down 1.3 cases from 2013. (See tables 

6a and 6b.) Among individual illness categories, only the rate of reported skin diseases declined in 2014,

falling 0.5 cases to 2.3 cases per 10,000 full-time workers. Rates among the other individual illness 

categories were relatively unchanged compared to a year earlier. 

Goods-producing industries accounted for 35.6 percent of all occupational illness cases in 2014, 

resulting in an incidence rate of 26.0 cases per 10,000 full-time workers—down 1.6 cases. Serviceproviding industries accounted for 64.4 percent of private industry illness cases and experienced a rate 

of 12.5 cases per 10,000 full-time workers in 2014—down 1.2 cases. 

National Public Sector Estimates 

An estimated 722,300 injury and illness cases were reported in 2014 among the approximately 18.3 

million state and local government workers—for example, police protection and fire protection—

resulting in a rate of 5.0 cases per 100 full-time workers. The rate among these workers was relatively 

unchanged from a year earlier (5.2 cases) but was higher than the rate among private industry workers 

(3.2 cases) in 2014. Nearly 4 in 5 injuries and illnesses reported in the public sector occurred among 

local government workers in 2014, resulting in an injury and illness rate of 5.4 cases per 100 full-time 

workers—higher than the 4.1 cases per 100 full-time workers in state government. 

State Estimates 

Among states for which estimates are available for 2014, the private industry TRC injury and illness 

incidence rates declined in 10 states and were relatively unchanged in 31 states and in the District of 

Columbia, compared to a year earlier. The private industry TRC injury and illness incidence rates were 

higher in 19 states than the national rate of 3.2 cases per 100 full-time workers, lower than the national 

rate in 14 states and in the District of Columbia, and about the same as the national rate in eight states. 

Factors such as differences in the composition of industry employment may influence state incidence 

rates and should be considered whenever comparing rates among different states.

related injuries from the Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries (CFOI). A third release in November will 

provide case circumstances and worker characteristics from the SOII for nonfatal injury and illness cases 

requiring at least one day away from work to recuperate. 

All statements of comparison made in this news release were found to be statistically significant at the 

95 percent confidence level. Additional background and methodological information regarding the BLS 

occupational safety and health statistics program can be found in Chapter 9 of the BLS Handbook of 

Methods at www.bls.gov/opub/hom/pdf/homch9.pdf. Employment data in this news release are 2014 

annual averages from the BLS Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW) program. 

Completeness of SOII Estimates 

BLS has long acknowledged that some conditions which often are difficult for employers to relate to the 

workplace are not adequately recognized and reported during a calendar year (for example, long-term 

latent illnesses) and are believed to be understated in SOII illness measures. Following several studies in 

the mid-2000s questioning the completeness of SOII injury and illness counts, BLS began internal 

research in 2007 and, at the request of Congress, established an ongoing research program. Initial 

research conducted between 2009 and 2012 found that the SOII failed to capture some cases but could 

not determine the magnitude or leading cause of an undercount. Researchers determined that the ability 

to match injury and illness data across different data sources was impacted by various factors, such as 

establishment type, the time of case filing, and the type of injury. BLS initiated additional research from 

2012 to 2014 that included interviews with employers in four states to learn more about their injury and 

illness recordkeeping practices and a multiple-year match of SOII data to workers’ compensation 

records to analyze matching trends over time. BLS is currently funding a nationwide follow-back survey 

with SOII respondents to learn more about their recordkeeping practices and timing issues that may 

negatively affect injury and illness reporting to the SOII. BLS also continues to conduct exploratory 

research on the collection of occupational injury and illness data directly from employees. For more 

information on undercount research, please see www.bls.gov/iif/undercount.htm.
