Private Sector Workplace Injuries and Illnesses on the Rise

Last month, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) released its report on employer-reported work environment injuries and health problems. This newest report covers the 2-year duration of 2021-2022.

According to BLS, personal market companies reported 2.8 million nonfatal office injuries and diseases in 2022, up 7.5% from 2021. This boost was driven by the increase in both injuries, up 4.5% to 2.3 million cases, and diseases up 26.1% to 460,700 cases. The boost in diseases was driven by the increase in breathing health problem cases, up 35.4% to 365,000 cases in 2022.

Over the 2-year duration, BLS reports there were 2.2 million cases including days far from work (DAFW), representing 66.5% of the overall cases including days far from work, task constraint, or transfer (DART). These cases took place at an annualized occurrence rate of 112.9 cases per 10,000 full-time equivalent (FTE) employees and needed a typical of 10 days far from work. Over the exact same duration, there were 1.1 million cases including days of task transfer or limitation (DJTR), which represented 33.5% of overall DART cases, and happened at an annualized rate of 56.9 cases per 10,000 FTE employees. The mean days of task transfer or constraint was 15 days over 2021-2022.

This BLS report does not consist of figures for the awful deaths triggered by deadly work injuries, stated Frank Selamie, President of CTSI.
