History

The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 implemented regulations requiring most private industry employers to maintain records and prepare reports on work-related injuries and illnesses.

The U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) was delegated the responsibility of developing and maintaining an effective statistical program to collect, compile, and analyze occupational safety and health data. Since 1972, the Survey of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses has reported annually the number of nonfatal workplace injuries and illnesses in private industry and the frequency of those incidents.

With the 1992 survey, BLS began collecting additional information on the more seriously work-related injuries and illnesses, like those that require time away from work, in the form of worker and case characteristics.
