U.S. Labor Department Introduces Severe Injury Report Dashboard

OSHA has launched a new online tool designed to enhance transparency and awareness of severe workplace injuries. The Severe Injury Report dashboard offers users an interactive platform to search and analyze data on serious injuries reported by employers in states covered by federal OSHA since 2015.

This dashboard allows users to filter and download data by year, industry, state and specific establishment names. It also provides access to the Occupational Injury and Illness Classification System codes, which categorize various types of injuries and illnesses. 

According to OSHA, this tool can be a valuable resource for both workers and employers, offering insights into how and why severe injuries occur in specific industries. Employers are encouraged to use this data to implement preventative measures in their workplaces.

Federal law mandates that employers report work-related hospitalizations, amputations, or the loss of an eye to OSHA within 24 hours. This requirement has been in place to ensure the agency can take prompt action in response to serious incidents. OSHA also offers compliance assistance and on-site consultations to help employers adhere to safety standards and prevent future injuries.
