Statistics

IHSA provides detailed injury performance data and occupational disease data for its membership. For injury performance, we also provide data specific to each of the 27 rate groups we serve. This information can help you understand the types of injuries and illnesses that workers in your industry or sector are experiencing. It can also help you determine where your health and safety resources will be the most effective.

The injury data is organized to present information on total injuries, lost-time injuries, injury rates (taking into account the workforce size), specific categories of injuries, and other pertinent details. Data is provided for the previous full year performance and five-year trend. The occupational disease data is separated into fatal and non-fatal disease claims, listing the most common illnesses among IHSA's membership.
