Subject: Mandatory 2026 Survey of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses Notice [Ref-C1000001]

Dear Employer, 
 
Welcome to the 2026 Survey of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses (SOII). We notified you in December 2025 that your establishment was chosen to participate in this survey.
 
Under Public Law 91-596, all establishments that receive this survey must complete it, even if they had no work-related injuries and illnesses during 2025.
 
Please follow the instructions below and complete this survey within 30 days.
 
1. Register your account to complete the survey online.
Note: Previously registered accounts for the SOII have been reset and you must register this year using the credentials located in the attached PDF.
    a. Select a User ID from the attached PDF.
    b. Go to https://idcf.bls.gov and use the User ID that you selected and its corresponding temporary password to login. Follow the on-screen instructions to register your account.
    c. If your attached PDF lists more than one establishment, click on the “Add establishment” button and enter the “Establishment ID” located in far-right column of the PDF attachment.
Note: You, or others in your company, may receive additional notifications instructing you to report for the other establishments. Once registered, accounts are tied to the email address used to register the account. Please register only one email address and use the "Add Establishment" button to link the other establishments to that account. Only one email address can be used to register your establishment(s). Please only register establishments for which you are responsible for reporting; once an establishment is registered, it cannot be registered to another email address.
