NONFATAL OCCUPATIONAL INJURIES AND ILLNESSES
REQUIRING DAYS AWAY FROM WORK, 2006
Both the rate and the number of occupational injuries and illnesses requiring days
away from work decreased from 2005 to 2006, according to the Bureau of Labor
Statistics, U.S. Department Labor. The 2006 rate was 128 per 10,000 workers, a decrease
of 6 percent from 2005. There were 1.2 million cases requiring days away from work in
private industry, which represented a decrease of 51,180 cases (or 4 percent). Median
days away from work—a key measure of the severity of the injury or illness—was 7 days
in 2006, the same as the prior two years.
Key findings for 2006 nonfatal occupational injuries and illnesses requiring days away
from work:
- Nursing aides, orderlies, and attendants, had 49,480 days away from work cases
and a rate of 526 per 10,000 workers, which was more than four times the total for
all occupations.
- Three other occupations with more than 40,000 cases had rates above 400 per
10,000 workers: construction laborers (488); laborers and freight, stock, and
material movers (466); and heavy and tractor-trailer truck drivers (411).
- Men had a days-away-from-work rate of 143 per 10,000 workers; the rate for
women was 106 per 10,000 workers.
- Four out of ten days away from work cases were sprains or strains.
Approximately one in five of these were suffered by laborers and freight, stock,
and material movers; heavy and tractor-trailer truck drivers; and nursing aides,
orderlies, and attendants.
- Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) accounted for 30 percent of the injuries and
illnesses with days away from work, the same percentage as in 2005.
***********************************************************************************************
* New Rates by Occupation, Gender, and Age group *
* With the 2006 Survey of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses (SOII), BLS added selected *
* injury and illness rates by occupation, by gender, and by age group for cases with days *
* away from work. Occupational estimates are available at the detailed occupation level *
* for the Nation and at the occupational group level for the Nation and States. In addition, *
* rates are available by gender, age group, and occupation for selected case characteristics. *

This release is the third in a series of three releases from the BLS covering
occupational safety and health statistics in 2006. The first release, in August 2007,
covered work-related fatalities from the 2006 Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries. In
October 2007, BLS reported that there were 4.1 million nonfatal injuries and illnesses in
2006, based on the Survey of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses. This final release
covers the circumstances of the injuries and illnesses and the characteristics of the
workers involved in the 1.2 million nonfatal cases that required days away from work to
recuperate.
Case characteristics
Case characteristics provide detailed information on the circumstances of nonfatal
workplace injuries and illnesses that required one or more days away from work. The
survey uses four case characteristics—nature, part of body, source, and event or
exposure—to describe a workplace incident.
A nursing aide sprains her back from overexertion in lifting a health care patient.
------- ---- ----------------------- -------------------
| | | |
(nature) (part of body) (event or exposure) (source)
* Sprains and strains was the leading nature of injury and illness in every major
industry sector (see table 5). These injuries decreased by 6 percent for total private
industry in 2006 and for both goods-producing and service-providing industries.
Trade, transportation, and utilities reported 157,380 sprains and strains, 33 percent of
the total.
* The overall number of cases of carpal tunnel syndrome decreased by 21 percent.
Workers on the job 5 years or more had a decrease of 27 percent for these kinds of
illnesses.
* The part of the body most affected by work incidents was the trunk (including the
shoulder and back) accounting for 34 percent of all cases. Cases involving the trunk
decreased by 6 percent from 2005. Injuries and illnesses to the back made up
62 percent of the days-away-from-work cases involving the trunk.
* Floors, walkways, and ground surfaces were the source of injury or illness for
18 percent of all days-away-from-work cases. Worker motion or position accounted
for 14 percent.
* Assaults and violent acts (by person) increased by 10 percent, with those to women
increasing 21 percent to 10,400 cases. Sixty percent of the assaults and violent acts
(by person) occurred in health care and social assistance and mainly involved assaults
by health care patients.
* Injuries and illnesses due to repetitive motion decreased by 13 percent.
* Falls from a ladder decreased by 17 percent.
In addition to these four case characteristics, BLS collects the time of day and day
of the week the injury or illness occurred and the time the employee had spent on the job
before the incident.
* Of the injuries and illnesses with days away from work (for which the time of the
incident was reported), the eight-hour period from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. accounted
for 65 percent of the cases in 2006. The 4:00 p.m. to midnight time period accounted
for 20 percent of the cases.
* In those cases where employers reported how long the employee had been on the job
before the incident occurred, workers on the job from two to four hours incurred the
highest number of injuries and illnesses (248,980 or 26 percent). Employees on the
job for more than eight hours accounted for 12 percent of cases.
* Eighty-seven percent of injuries and illnesses occurred on Monday through Friday.
The exception to this pattern was the leisure and hospitality sector, where 27 percent
of injuries and illnesses occurred during the weekend.
Demographic characteristics
Demographic characteristics include gender, age, race or ethnic origin, and length
of service with the employer at the time of the incident (see tables 1, 2, and 8). For 2006,
BLS has new incidence rate data for gender and age group (see tables 16-19).
* Men accounted for 66 percent of all days-away-from-work cases, and had an
incidence rate (143 per 10,000 workers) 35 percent higher than the rate of 106 for
women.
* Injuries and illnesses to Asian workers increased by 16 percent from 2005, while the
other ethnic groups experienced declines in workplace incidents. Race or ethnicity
was unreported in 32 percent of days-away-from-work cases.
* The number of injuries and illnesses to Hispanic workers in the construction and
extraction occupations (34,170) increased 7 percent from 2005.
* Workers who were 20 to 44 years old accounted for 60 percent of injured and ill
workers. Within that age range, workers age 20 to 24 had a rate of 143 per
10,000 workers, higher than the rate of 128 for all workers.
* The number of days away from work rose with the age of the worker from a median
of 1 day for workers 14- and 15-years old to a median of 15 days for workers 65 and
older.
Occupation
Among major occupational groups, transportation and material moving
occupations had the highest rate at 301 per 10,000 workers and 239,710 injuries and
illnesses requiring days away from work in 2006. Computer and mathematical
occupations had the lowest rate, 11 (see table 16). The rate for all occupations was 128.
Three occupations at the detail level had incidence rates over 1,000 per
10,000 workers: Athletes and sports competitors (1,720), Psychiatric aides (1,067), and
Mining roof bolters (1,018). Rates this high indicate that at least one in ten workers in
these three occupations experienced an injury or illness requiring days away from work
in 2006. These occupations, however, did not have a high number of cases and, like
some other occupations with small numbers of workers, are not listed in the tables of this
news release.
The five occupations that have the highest number of days away from work cases were:
* Laborers and freight, stock, and material movers experienced the highest number of
days-away-from-work injuries and illnesses, 85,120 in 2006; however, this represents
a decrease of 8 percent from 2005. This occupation had a rate of 466 per
10,000 workers. Eighty-four percent of these injuries and illnesses were to men.
Sixty-five percent of the total cases for this occupation were in the trade,
transportation and utilities industry.
* Heavy and tractor-trailer truck drivers had 66,040 cases in 2006, relatively the same
as in 2005, and had a days-away-from-work rate of 411 per 10,000 workers. Ninety-
five percent of these cases were to men. The source of the injury was most often
vehicles, followed by floor or ground surfaces. The most frequent event was
overexertion, followed by contact with objects and equipment. As in 2005, the
median days away from work was 14 days, twice that for all occupations.
* Nursing aides, orderlies, and attendants—with more injuries and illnesses to women
(91 percent) than to men—had 49,480 cases, a decrease of 5 percent from 2005. This
occupation had a high incidence rate—526 per 10,000 workers. Fifty-six percent of
the injuries and illnesses to these workers involved health care patients, of which
86 percent were due to overexertion.
* Construction laborers had the fourth highest number of cases with 40,510 and a rate
of 488 per 10,000 workers. Ninety-seven percent of these injuries and illnesses were
to men. Contact with objects or equipment was the most common event in this
occupation and the most frequent source of injury was parts and materials.
* Retail salespersons had 33,210 cases, remaining unchanged from 2005. Floors and
walkways were the most frequent source of injury. The rate of injury and illness for
this occupation was 106, 17 percent below the private-sector average.
As in 2005, eleven detailed occupations, including the five discussed above, each
had more than 20,000 injuries and illnesses with days away from work. Together they
accounted for 36 percent of all cases (see table 4). These same eleven occupations have
had more than 20,000 cases in each of the last three years.
Industry
Workers in the goods-producing industries experienced 380,440 injuries and
illnesses with days away from work and had an incidence rate of 167 per 10,000 workers
in 2006. Service-providing industry workers experienced 803,060 days away from work
injuries and illnesses and had a rate of 115.
Natural resources and mining had a median number of days away from work of 9.
In this sector, the mining industry had a median of 17 days. Hispanic workers
experienced 66 percent of injuries and illnesses in agriculture, forestry, and fishing,
compared to 20 percent of all days-away-from-work cases in private industry. The
overall rate for this industry sector was 170 per 10,000 workers.
Construction had the highest incidence rate—220 per 10,000 workers—of all
industry sectors but had the fourth highest case count (153,180). The rate decreased
8 percent from 2005. Men experienced 97 percent of the injuries and illnesses. The
construction industry’s rate of 84 for contact with objects and equipment was more than
twice the rate for total private industry.
Manufacturing had a rate of 141 per 10,000 workers and had 200,970 cases
resulting from days away from work. Workers in this industry were most often injured
by contact with objects and equipment (76,400). The number of cases involving
repetitive motion (14,670) remained about the same in 2006 compared to 2005. Workers
who had 5 or more years of service with their employer experienced a significant decline
in the number injuries and illnesses from the previous year (8 percent). Workers with
less than 5 years had relatively no change in the number of cases from 2005.
Trade, transportation, and utilities had the greatest number of injuries and
illnesses (354,510) with a rate of 160 per 10,000 workers. Women experienced
28 percent of the injuries and illnesses in this sector as a whole, but within retail trade
they experienced 41 percent of the cases. The transportation and warehousing industry
had a median number of days away from work of 15. The utilities industry had a median
of 14 days away from work, while wholesale and retail trade industries each had medians
of 7 days.
Information had a rate of injuries and illnesses of 67 per 10,000 workers. Fifty-six
percent of the injuries and illnesses to workers in this industry sector occurred to
those who had been with their employer for more than 5 years, compared to 31 percent
for all service–providing industries.
Financial activities had 33,300 days-away-from-work cases and a rate of 45 per
10,000 workers in 2006. Sprains and strains was the leading nature of injury and illness
with 13,210 cases. The part of body most often injured was the back with 7,180 cases.
Professional and business services had no change in the overall number of cases
that required days away from work or the incidence rate for those cases when compared
to 2005. However, cases involving contact with objects, the leading event or exposure of
injury in this industry, rose 15 percent to 25,260. The number of carpal tunnel syndrome
cases in this industry (790) has decreased by two thirds since 2003 including a 50 percent
decrease from 2005 to 2006.
Education and health services also had no change in the overall number of cases
or the incidence rate for those cases when compared to 2005. In this sector, healthcare
and social assistance accounted for 94 percent of injuries and illnesses. There were
nearly four times the number of injuries and illnesses to women (145,370) than to men
(36,800).
Leisure and hospitality had 96,910 injuries and illnesses requiring days away
from work in 2006, with a rate of 114 per 10,000 workers. Employers in this industry
reported nearly equal numbers of injuries and illnesses to men and women. The number
of assaults and violent acts (1,690) increased 48 percent from last year. Asian workers
experienced an 86 percent increase in the number of injuries and illnesses in this industry.
Musculoskeletal disorders
The U.S. Department of Labor defines a musculoskeletal disorder (MSD) as an
injury or disorder of the muscles, nerves, tendons, joints, cartilage, or spinal discs. MSDs
do not include disorders caused by slips, trips, falls, motor vehicle accidents, or similar
accidents. In 2006 there were 357,160 MSD cases. MSD cases had a median of 9 days
away from work, two days longer than the median for all days away from work cases.
The overall rate for all MSD cases was 39 per 10,000 workers in 2006.
The trade, transportation and utilities sector had 34 percent of the MSD cases
followed by the education and health services sector with 20 percent, the vast majority of
these in health care and social assistance (69,880). The manufacturing sector had
18 percent of the MSD cases. MSDs in manufacturing decreased by 6 percent from 2005
to 2006, while MSDs for all private industry decreased by 5 percent.

Men had 62 percent of the MSD cases and an incidence rate of 41 per
10,000 workers. Women had 37 percent of the MSD cases and an incidence rate of 35
(see table B). MSDs to workers age 25 and over decreased with the exception of MSDs
to workers age 55 to 64 which increased by 4 percent. MSDs to workers age 65 and over
decreased by 13 percent in 2006 after an increase of 19 percent in 2005.
The three occupations with the highest number of MSDs in 2006 were laborers
and freight, stock, and material movers; nursing aides, orderlies, and attendants; and
heavy and tractor-trailer truck drivers. These occupations had high rates of MSDs (see
table B), with nursing aides, orderlies, and attendants reporting the highest rate—293 per
10,000 workers.

Injury and Illness Severity
In addition to providing data on the number of injuries and illnesses that require
days away from work to recuperate, the survey provides data on the length of the
absences resulting from those injuries and illnesses (see tables 8-12 and 15). Median
days away from work—the key survey measure of severity—designates the point at
which half the cases involved more days and half involved fewer days.
The median number of days away from work for all cases was 7 days in 2006,
unchanged since 2004. Almost one-fourth of all days-away-from-work cases resulted in
31 or more days away from work. The median for goods-producing industries (8 days)
was higher than that for service-providing industries (7 days).
* Fractures resulted in the longest absences (28 days) from work among the leading
natures of injury and illness. Carpal tunnel syndrome had 27 days and amputations
had 22 median days away from work, both unchanged from 2005.
* Repetitive motion resulted in the longest absences from work among the most
frequent events or exposures with 19 days away from work, unchanged from 2005.
Falls to lower level had 14 days, twice the 2006 median for all cases. Fires and
explosions and transportation accidents each had a median of 10 days. The median
for transportation accidents was unchanged but the median for fires and explosions
decreased from the 16 days reported in 2005.
* Floors, walkways, and ground surfaces were the sources that resulted in the longest
absences from work, with a median of 11 days, followed closely by worker motion or
position (10 days) and vehicles (9 days).
* Injuries and illnesses to the shoulder resulted in the longest absences from work, with
a median of 16 days, followed by the wrist and knee each with a median of 14 days.
* Workers age 65 and over experienced the longest absences from work with a median
of 15 days followed by workers age 55 to 64 with 12 days and workers age 45 to 54
with 10 days.
* Among detailed occupations with high numbers of days-away-from-work cases,
heavy and tractor-trailer truck drivers had the highest median days away from work
with 14 days. Driver/sales workers had the second highest median with 11 days,
followed closely by carpenters and light or delivery truck drivers with a median of
10 days.
Background of the Survey
Since the early 1970s, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) has reported annually
on the number and the rate of injuries and illnesses requiring days away from work
beyond the day of the incident in private industry. The 2006 Survey of Occupational
Injuries and Illnesses marks the fifteenth year that BLS has also provided detailed
information on the circumstances of these cases and the characteristics of the injured or
ill worker.
Data in this release are classified based on the 2002 North American Industry
Classification System (NAICS), the 2000 Standard Occupational Classification (SOC)
Manual, and 1997 Standards for Federal Data on Race and Ethnicity, as defined by the
Office of Management and Budget (OMB). More information on each of these
classification systems is available on the OMB Internet site at
http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/inforeg/statpolicy.html. Race and ethnicity is the only
data element in the survey for which reporting is not mandatory. In 2006, 32 percent of
the cases were missing race and ethnicity.
For each incident that led to an injury or illness that required one or more days
away from work to recuperate, the survey uses four characteristics to describe the
circumstances of the case. These characteristics are classified using the Occupational
Injury and Illness Classification System. (See the Manual on the BLS Internet site at
http://www.bls.gov/iif/oshoiics.htm.) These four characteristics are:
* nature – the physical characteristics of the disabling injury or illness, such as
cuts/lacerations, fractures, or sprains/strains;
* part of body affected – the part of body directly linked to the nature of injury or
illness cited, such as back, finger, or eye;
* event or exposure – the manner in which the injury or illness was produced or
inflicted, such as falls, overexertion, or repetitive motion; and
* source – the object, substance, exposure, or bodily motion that directly produced or
inflicted the disabling condition, such as chemicals, vehicles, or machinery.
Musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) include cases where the nature of the injury or
illness is sprains, strains, tears; back pain, hurt back; soreness, pain, hurt, except the back;
carpal tunnel syndrome; hernia; or musculoskeletal system and connective tissue diseases
and disorders, when the event or exposure leading to the injury or illness is bodily
reaction/bending, climbing, crawling, reaching, twisting; overexertion; or repetition.
Cases of Raynaud’s phenomenon, tarsal tunnel syndrome, and herniated spinal discs are
not included. Although they may be considered MSDs, the survey classifies these
injuries and illnesses in categories that also include non-MSD cases.
The Survey of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses is a Federal/State program in
which employer reports were collected from about 195,200 private industry
establishments in 2006 and processed by State agencies cooperating with the BLS. The
survey measures only nonfatal injuries and illnesses and excludes the self-employed,
farms with fewer than 11 employees, private households, Federal government agencies,
and, for national estimates, employees in State and local government agencies.
The employers, who are selected to participate in the survey, provide data on
injuries and illnesses based on logs and other records they maintain during the year.
These records reflect not only the year’s injury and illness experience, but also
employers’ understanding of which cases are work related under the recordkeeping rules
promulgated by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, U.S. Department of
Labor. Data for coal, metal, and nonmetal mining and for railroad activities were
provided by the Department of Labor’s Mine Safety and Health Administration and the
Department of Transportation’s Federal Railroad Administration, respectively.
The survey estimates the characteristics of cases with days away from work based
on two levels of sampling. First, BLS scientifically selects a probability sample of
establishments from among those covered by the survey. Then establishments in the
survey that are projected to have a large number of days–away-from-work cases are
instructed on how to sample those cases to minimize the burden of their response.
Because the estimates are based on a sample survey, they probably differ from the
figures that would be obtained from a census of all units covered by the survey. Standard
errors were calculated to determine the precision of each estimate from the survey and
will be available on the BLS Internet site at http://www.bls.gov/iif/home.htm. They are
used to provide a range around the estimate in which the figure from a census is likely to
be. All findings in this release have been tested and found to be statistically significant at
the 95-percent confidence level. Visit http://www.bls.gov/iif/osh_rse.htm for more
information about relative standard errors.
Data from the survey also are subject to nonsampling error. Examples of these
errors are: the inability to obtain information about all cases in the sample; mistakes or
gaps in recording or coding the data; and difficulties in understanding survey definitions.
Although not measured, nonsampling error always occurs when statistics are gathered.
However, BLS has quality assurance procedures to reduce nonsampling error in the
survey, including a rigorous training program for coders and efforts to identify and
explore sources of nonsampling error and their potential magnitude.
The number of hours worked used for industry and case characteristics incidence
rates are collected in the Survey of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses. The survey does
not collect hours worked by occupation or demographic characteristics. The hours
worked data used for rates by occupation, gender, and age group (which are available for
the first time with this release of 2006 data) come from two BLS programs—the
Occupational Employment Statistics program and from the Current Population Survey,
which is conducted for BLS by the Bureau of the Census.
Because of space limitations, this release does not present all the publishable
estimates and rates for days-way-from-work cases. Additional detailed data are available
from BLS staff on 202-691-6170, iifstaff@bls.gov, and the BLS Internet site at
http://www.bls.gov/iif/home.htm.
