U.S. Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics 2 Massachusetts Ave., N.E. Washington, D.C. 20212 NOTICE OF NONCOMPLIANCE with Public Law 91-596 Dear Employer: In January of this year, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) sent you a 2021 survey package requiring your company’s participation in the Survey of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses. Public Law 91-596 mandates your participation in this survey. The entire report should have been completed and returned within 30 days. As of the mailing of this letter, our records show your data have not been received and are delinquent. We are reminding you that this is a mandatory survey, which must be completed whether or not any of your employees sustained work-related injuries or illnesses during the 2021 calendar year. Your establishment should report information on case circumstances and worker characteristics both for cases that resulted in days away from work (with or without days of job transfer or restriction) and for cases that resulted in days of job transfer or restriction (without days away from work). To make survey completion as easy as possible, we are providing two convenient ways to submit your survey: through our webpage (https://idcf.bls.gov) or upon request by paper form via US mail. If the detailed case information requested is not recorded on your OSHA forms, please refer to other sources of information you may have (including your Workers’ Compensation records). Please note, however, that OSHA’s rules (www.osha.gov/recordkeeping) concerning which injuries and illnesses to record differ from your state’s Workers’ Compensation reporting. If you need assistance, please contact your state at the number(s) listed on the front of the form. Your report is very important to us. It provides us the information we need to produce reliable statistics of the number and rate of injuries and illnesses in various industry categories. This in turn, allows establishments to compare their own injury and illness record with the average for their particular industry. These statistics will impact government policy and allow safety and health professionals to make informed decisions about workplace safety throughout the United States. Sincerely, Marika Litras Assistant Commissioner Office of Safety, Health, and Working Conditions Bureau of Labor Statistics
