Missouri Labor | 2007 Case and Demographic Data
The most serious nonfatal occupational injury and illness cases involve lost worktime. There were 19,490 nonfatal occupational injuries and illnesses involving days away from work in Missouri private industry in 2007. This number was not statistically significantly changed from the number of cases in 2006. One measure of the severity of lost worktime cases is the percent distribution. A second measure of the severity of lost worktime cases is the median number of lost workdays. The median days away from work designates the point at which half the cases involved more days and half the cases involved fewer days. The median days away from work due to nonfatal occupational injuries and illnesses in Missouri private industry were seven days in 2007.
