Abstract: The Survey of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses is the primary indicator of the Nation's progress in providing every working man and woman safe and healthful working conditions. The survey measures the overall rate of work injuries and illnesses by industry. Survey data are also used to evaluate the effectiveness of Federal and State programs and to prioritize scarce resources. Respondents include employers who maintain Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) records in accordance with the Occupational Safety and Health Act and employers who are normally exempt from OSHA recordkeeping. Each year a sample of exempt employers is required to keep records and participate in the survey.

Burden increases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Increase Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: There is an increase in burden of 27,045 hours (214,904 – 187,859) for collection year 2024. This increase is primarily due to increased reporting burden for Part II to reflect the increase in the estimated average time to report a case, but also includes the small increase of 270 hours for the pre-collection test letter. This increase from 10 to 15 minutes (50 percent) per case is consistent with OSHA burden estimates published in their most recent rulemaking and accounts for 25,000 hours in increased burden. Second, there is an increase in reporting burden due to an increase in the number of cases BLS estimates will be reported by establishments normally exempt from OSHA recordkeeping. This increase in cases is likely due to a rise in reported cases as levels return to pre-pandemic norms. Finally, there is also a small increase of 270 hours from the pre-collection test letter.
