PDF fillable form

To aid users who wish to use the Adobe fillable form, troubleshooting instructions were added to the email that accompanies the PDF fillable form. The email text is copied below:

Thank you for contacting the Bureau of Labor Statistics to request an electronic version of the Survey of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses. A fillable PDF of the survey form is attached to this e-mail.

PLEASE NOTE: We have designed this survey to ensure that you do not have to report more than approximately 15 cases with days away from work.
If you have significantly more than 15 cases, please call us at 404-893-1934 for assistance.

1. Save the attached form to your computer and open it using Adobe Reader (version 8 or higher). If you do not have Adobe Reader, you can download it for free from:
   http://get.adobe.com/reader/
   
   Note: Please make sure the form opens up in Adobe Reader and not in Preview.

2. Enter your establishment's identifying information (establishment ID, address, and contact information), and then enter your establishment's injury and illness data.

   • You may use the TAB key and the mouse to navigate through the fields on the form.

   • You do not need to complete the survey in one sitting.

   • You can save the form and come back later to complete entering your information.

3. When all of your data is entered, please save the form on your computer and print a copy for your records in case we need to contact you.

4. When you have completed the survey, send the form to the Bureau of Labor Statistics by pressing the 'Submit' button on the last page of the form.

If you are having trouble opening the PDF fillable form, it is possible that you have an older version of Adobe that is not compatible with our form. You may be able to fix the issue by doing the following:

1. Save the PDF form attached to this email to your desktop.

2. Download the latest Adobe Reader installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/.

3. Run the Adobe Reader installer and follow the prompts.

4. Once installation is complete, manually launch Adobe Reader by clicking the Adobe Reader icon that was created.

5. From within Adobe Reader, go to File → Open and open the PDF form from your desktop.

Make sure to follow step #4 to use the new version of Adobe Reader to open the document, otherwise your computer may try to use the previous version of Adobe Reader which is not compatible with our form.
