Permanent Total Disability Any injury or illness other than death, which permanently and totally incapacitates an employee from following any gainful occupation.

Processed Cases Reported injuries or illnesses during the report year and all prior years on the Disability Compensation Information System database for which an action has occurred during the report year. Actions on a case includes having been subject to a screening procedure having the injury or illness medically evaluated, and/or medical costs and/or workers’ compensation payments occurred. For example a case initially reported on a WC-1 in 1990, where payments were made in 2014, would be counted as a 2014 processed case and a case reported in 2014 with or without payments will be counted as a 2014 reported case and 2014 processed case.

Reported Injuries and Illnesses (Reported Cases)

All injuries and illnesses reported to the Disability Compensation Division. These reported injuries or illnesses may not have occurred during the report year, due to the change in close date (See Technical Notes, #5) to process a reported case.

TECHNICAL NOTES

The Workers’ Compensation Data Book is based on the annual accumulation of data in the State of Hawai‘i,Disability Compensation database.

1. The following coding systems and locally revised versions were used to categorize data:

a) Industrial attachment is determined by the principal activity of the employer as defined in the NorthAmerican Industry Classification System 2002 (NAICS). The new NAICS industry groupings betterreflect the workings of the U.S. economy, particularly in the services sector. NAICS, developed using aproduction oriented conceptual framework, groups establishments into industries based on the activity inwhich they are primarily engaged. It is not an update of the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) system.NAICS focuses on how products and services are created. More information on NAICS is available at theU.S. Census Bureau website at http://www.census.gov/epcd/www/naics.html.

b) Codes and definitions used to categorize Nature of Injury or Illness, Part of Body Affected, Source of Injuryor Illness, and Event or Exposure were modeled after the 1992 Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS)Occupational Injury and Illness Classification Structures (OIICS). Starting with 1996 data, BLS OIICSdata codes were locally modified to 2 digits instead of 4 digits, making the data less detailed.

c) Occupational groups are based on the 1990 Alphabetical Index of Industries and Occupations, developedand published by the Bureau of the Census, Washington, D.C., U.S. Government Printing Office. Startingwith 1996 data, the occupation classifications were locally modified, making the data less detailed.

2. From 1999, the employment data source used in the Worker’s Compensation Data Book has been changed.Instead of the Labor Force Data Book employment we are using the Employment and Payrolls in Hawai‘istatistics. Employment data from the later publication may be more in line with workers covered under theWorkers’ Compensation program. Caution should be taken when reviewing the employment and frequency datafor trend analysis prior to 1999.

3. From 2000, the table Hearings and Decisions Issued (previously called Compensation Orders Issued and Numberof Hearings) has changed to include Act 59 settlements and attorney fees. The combined category PermanentPartial & Disfigurement no longer exists. Figures are reported under the category with the highest severity. Forexample: a case with disability payments and disfigurement award would be counted in the disability categoryand not in disfigurement.

4. Beginning with the 2002 Workers’ Compensation Data Book, there is a new format for the Industry category.The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) is being used to designate the different industriesinstead of the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) system. For trend analysis purposes, the data may not becomparable.

5. Effective with the 2004 Workers’ Compensation Data Book, the close date to process a “reported case” for thepreceding calendar year was changed from January 31 to December 31 to accommodate the filing of electronic“WC-1 Employers Report of Industrial Injury”. For trend analysis purposes, the data for 2004 may not becomparable.

6. From 2014, Financial Activities in the Industry group replaced Finance, Insurance, Real Estate, Rent & Leasing;Finance, Ins, Real Estate, Rent, & Leasing; and Fin, Ins, Real Est, Rent, & Leasing.
