ensuring the maintenance of recordkeeping by employers on occupational injuries and illnesses, requiring
reporting by employers of work-related deaths, and conducting research relating to occupational safety and
health.
OSHA is charged with the responsibility of enforcing the provisions of the 1970 act, and BLS is the collector
accurate statistics on work injuries and illnesses which shall include all disabling, serious or significant
injuries and illnesses, whether or not involving loss of time from work other than minor injuries requiring only
first aid treatment and which do not involve medical treatment, loss of consciousness, restriction of work or
motion, or transfer to another job." The purposes of the act are quite comprehensive and include the
establishment of occupational safety and health standards, carrying out inspections and investigations,
to compile accurate statistics on occupational injuries and illnesses and to make periodic reports on such
occurrences.
The responsibility for collecting statistics on occupational injuries and illnesses was delegated to the BLS. In
order to further the purposes of this act, the language was quite specific: "The Secretary shall compile
was created under the Assistant Secretary of Labor for Occupational Safety and Health to enforce the
regulations established by the 1970 act. Very specific language in the act gave an indication that Congress
recognized statistics on workplace injuries and diseases were essential to an effective national program of
prevention. The act, among other things, directed the Secretary of Labor to issue regulations to require
employers to maintain records on workplace injuries and illnesses. The Secretary of Labor was also directed
waning days of 1970.
The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 was passed to ensure "so far as possible every, working man
and woman in the nation safe and healthful working conditions and to preserve our human resources"
(PL 91-596, 1970). As a result of this legislation, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)
limitations: first, the work-injury data were compiled only from employers who volunteered to record and
report that information; second, only disabling injuries defined in the Z16.1 standard were counted. Thus,
numerous work injuries that required medical treatment but did not result in a full day away from work were
excluded from the survey estimates, as were, with few exceptions, occupational illnesses. These and other
limitations eventually were addressed in a major piece of safety legislation passed by the Congress in the
Once the American Standard Method of Measuring and Recording Work-Injury Experience (the Z16.1
standard) was accepted by employers and statistical agencies, the BLS launched an annual nationwide
survey of work injuries that had resulted in death, permanent impairment, or temporary disability (unable
to perform a regularly established job beyond the day of injury). Spanning three decades, these surveys
proved useful in measuring and monitoring injury frequency and severity; however, they had some major
in worker safety, the BLS also sponsored the pioneering work of industrial hygienists, such as Dr. Alice
Hamilton's early 20th century research on lead poisoning in the workplace. Other BLS studies of individual
industries and safety and health topics followed, but it was not until the late 1930's that injury recordkeeping
was sufficiently uniform to permit the collection of nationwide work-injury data.
The History of the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS)Safety and Health Statistical Programs
The seeds for safer workplaces through improving knowledge were sown at the beginning of the 20th
century. Back then, the BLS fielded its first full-scale survey of safety and health conditions in American
workplaces, with its 1912 study of industrial accidents in the iron and steel industry. Paralleling its interest

INTRODUCTION
The Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries (CFOI), administered by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) inconjunction with the Tennessee Department of Labor and Workforce Development, compiles detailedinformation on all work-related fatalities occurring in the State of Tennessee. The program is based uponthe 1987 recommendations of the National Academy of Sciences and the Keystone Dialogue Group thatemphasized the need for a reliable measure of occupational fatalities. In response to these recommendationsthe CFOI program was developed to produce accurate, comprehensive, descriptive, timely, and accessiblecounts of fatal workplace injuries that occur during a given year.
To ensure the most inclusive count of work-related fatalities, the Census uses a broad definition of fatal-occupational injury. The Census includes fatal-occupational injuries that occur to self-employed persons,
to the latency period of many occupational illnesses along with the difficulty of relating illnesses to work-
person's work facility, and to government employees. Fatalities that occur during a person's commute to orfrom work are excluded from the Census.
In an effort to compile counts that are as complete as possible, CFOI uses diverse sources to identify, verify,and profile fatal-work injuries. Source documents such as death certificates, workers' compensation reports,and Federal and State agency administrative records are cross-referenced to gather key information abouteach workplace fatality such as the occupation in which the decedent worked, worker demographics, equipmentor machinery involved, and other circumstances of the event. Two or more independent source documents areused to verify the work relationship of each fatal-work injury. The CFOI definitions located in Appendix A explain the CFOI work relationship criteria. The CFOI program compiles the most complete, verifiable countof fatal-occupational injuries in the United States. Fatal illnesses are excluded from the statistical tables due
related events.
Data compiled by the CFOI program are issued annually. These data are used by safety and health professionals,policy analysts, and researchers to assist in the prevention of fatal work-related injuries in the following ways:

coverage to state and local government units.
INTRODUCTION
The passage of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (Public Law 91-596) created an extensive and
detailed set of regulations applying to all private employers in the United States who were not covered by
previous safety legislation. The Tennessee Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1972 replaces the Federal
Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 as it applies to private employers in Tennessee and also extends
graphical illustrations to demonstrate their research findings. The methods for displaying the data are
The United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), was given the responsibility of
developing a comprehensive safety and health statistical program. To achieve this, the BLS, in cooperation
with many state agencies, conducts an annual Survey of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses (SOII). The data
collected from the employers is used to estimate the numbers, incidence rates, and seriousness of work-related
injuries and illnesses. In Tennessee, the data collected by the Tennessee Department of Labor and Workforce
Development in cooperation with the BLS provides the statistics necessary to identify the industries,
occupations, and worker groups having relatively high risks of job-related injury or illness.
The Labor Research and Statistics Division, after reviewing the Survey of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses,
verifies the accuracy of the data. They then analyze the results and create the charts, tables, and other

intended to aid in audience understanding and are written to ensure the confidentiality of the surveyed
companies. We would greatly appreciate any suggestions and/or comments pertaining to the information
contained in this publication, including what you would like to see in coming years.
Until 1992, the survey identified industries with high-incidence rates, but shed little light on the
characteristics of workplace incidents. Beginning in 1992, the annual survey was expanded to provide
additional detailed information on workplace injuries and illnesses. This information included worker
and case-characteristic data on nonfatal injuries and illnesses resulting in days away from work. With
the more detailed information, employers as well as safety and health organizations can better define and
focus on areas of special interest.
many employers who responded to the survey and without whose cooperation this publication would not
have been possible.
Railroad transportation data are provided by the Federal Railroad Administration, U.S. Department of
Transportation. Farm employers in Tennessee with no more than 10 employees and self-employed persons
with no employees are exempt from participation in the annual survey. This publication presents
occupational injury and illness data for all other Tennessee employers with at least one employee.
The Tennessee Department of Labor and Workforce Development wishes to express its appreciation to the

Total Cases Incidence Rates
METHODS FOR CALCULATING INCIDENCE RATES
Employers can compute their company's injury and illness rate by multiplying the number of
injuries (N) by 200,000 (base rate of 40 hours per week for 50 weeks for 100 full-time equivalent
workers), and dividing by the number of hours (H) worked by all employees during the year.
The calculator entry would be Nx200,000÷H=.
The total cases incidence rate is the number of recordable injuries and illnesses for a company
based on 100 full-time equivalent employees. Using your OSHA 300 log, add columns H (cases
with days away from work), I (cases with job transfer or restriction), and J (other recordable
cases). Multiply the sum by 200,000 and then divide the product by the total number of hours
worked by all employees for the calendar year. Remember that each case is to be classified
in only one column, (either G, H, I, or J) based on the seriousness of that case. Days away
from work are always considered to be more serious than transferred or restricted duty, even
though the restricted days may be greater in number than the number of days away from
work. You do, however, enter the actual number of days away from work as well as the
actual number of restricted or transferred days in columns K and L on your OSHA 300 log.
DART (Days Away, Restricted or Transferred) Incidence Rates
The DART incidence rate is the rate for the total number of cases involving days away from
work and cases that have restricted or transferred duty. (This was formerly known as lost time
incidence rates.) Using the OSHA 300 log, add columns H (cases with days away from work)
and I (cases with job transfer or restrictions). Multiply the sum by 200,000 and divide the
product by the total number of hours worked by all employees for the calendar year.

The private industry injury and illness rate was statistically higher in 21 states than the national rate of 3.0 cases per 100 full-time workers, lower in
12 states and the District of Columbia, and not statistically different in 8 states. Caution should be taken when comparing rates among different
states as some differences can be attributed to different industry composition within each state.

Type of Worker
In CFOI, a work relationship exists if an event or exposure results in the fatal injury or illness of a person:

Only cases where the incident occurred in the United States, its territories, or its territorial waters orairspace are included in CFOI. Note that data from territories like Puerto Rico, the U. S. Virgin Islands,and Guam are not included in the national CFOI counts but are available individually.

traumatic injury played some role in the death, it would be included in CFOI provided the other criteriaare met.
CFOI does not include data on fatal occupational illnesses. The long latency period for many fatal occupational illnesses makes it very difficult to compile a complete roster of these cases. It is alsodifficult to definitively link some cases to a workplace exposure -- for example, a coal miner who worked30 years in a coal mine and smoked two packs of cigarettes a day who dies of lung cancer.
CFOI examines all illness cases marked "at work" on the death certificate and those illnesses included in
