OSHA Releases Information About Workplace Injuries and Illness

Posted on January 28th, 2010 No Comments

Each year, more than 80,000 employers submit information about illness and injuries in the workplace to the Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA). While the administration has collected data every year since 1996, the information was not available online until now. OSHA has now revealed a new searchable online database that has information from 1996-2007 so the public can look at data for an establishment or specific industry.

Workplace injuries can have a serious effect on your life and ability to support yourself and your family. If you are injured in an accident at work, contact the Raleigh worker's compensation attorneys of Scudder & Hedrick at 919-851-3311 today.

The North Carolinia Department of Labor released preliminary figures that show that workplace deaths declined from 54 in 2008 to 35 workers in 2009. In addition, the rates of non-fatal injuries and illnesses dropped for the second-straight year to an all-time low of 3.4 per 100 full time employees. Sources say the decline in injuries and illness may result in a 9.6 % drop in worker's compensation rates in the new year.
