Survey of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses
The OSH unit in Research
& Planning with the Wyoming Department of Workforce Services in cooperation
with the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics
(BLS) conducts the annual Survey of
Occupational Injuries and Illnesses (SOII). This survey gathers information which produces
summary estimates
of the number and frequency (incidence rates--definitions can be found in the
BLS Glossary) as well as
case characteristics of nonfatal workplace
injuries and illnesses.
For data on fatal occupational injuries and illnesses, see the
Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries.
