Page Count	46
Abstract	The U. S. Department of Labors Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) implemented the Survey of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses in 1972. Annual surveys between 1972 and 1991 identified those industries that had relatively high rates of work injuries and illnesses. In 1992, the annual survey was expanded to provide additional detailed worker and case characteristic data on non-fatal injuries and illnesses resulting in days away from work and by utilizing cooperative ventures between states and the federal government. The Survey of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses is a federal/state program in which employer reports are collected from about 6,000 private industry establishments and governmental agencies within the state of Illinois. These are processed by the Illinois Department of Public Health in cooperation with the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Occupational injury and illness data for coal, metal and nonmetal mining and for railroad activities are provided by the Department of Labor's Mine Safety and Health Administration and the U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Railroad Administration. The survey measures non-fatal injuries and illnesses only and excludes the self-employed, farms with fewer than 11 employees, private households and employees in federal government agencies.
