  • Searchable OSHA Data

    From OSHA’s “Quick Takes,” February 1, 2010 – Volum 9, Issue 3:

    “OSHA data on employer specific injury and illness incidence rates is now publicly available on data.gov and its website. OSHA collects work-related injury and illness data from more than 80,000 employers within specific industries and of a certain employment size. The agency uses this data for its strategic management plan and as a targeting mechanism for its Site-Specific Targeting enforcement program. Data is now searchable from 1996 to 2007 and can be used by interested individuals or groups to look at establishment-specific injury and illness data. The information includes the establishment name, address, industry, and associated total case rate; days away, restricted and transfer case rate; and days away from work case rate. Suspect or unreliable data is not included in this database.”
