The U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has introduced an interactive Severe Injury Report dashboard, providing an in-depth look at workplace injuries across states under federal OSHA jurisdiction. The new tool offers users the ability to search and download data from OSHA’s severe injury report database, which tracks injuries from 2015 onwards.
Through the dashboard, users can filter data by year, industry, state, establishment name, and Occupational Injury and Illness Classification System (OIICS) codes. This tool is intended to help both workers and employers identify injury trends and adopt safety measures to prevent future incidents.
OSHA mandates that employers report work-related in-patient hospitalizations, amputations, or loss of an eye within 24 hours of an incident. The agency also provides compliance assistance and consultation services nationwide to support employers in fostering safer workplaces.
