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 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.
