The BLS annually reports the number of fatal occupational injuries by OIICS characteristics through their Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries (CFOI). Similarly, the BLS uses the OIICS to characterize nonfatal occupational injuries and illnesses that involved days away from work through their annual Survey of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses (SOII). NIOSH characterizes work-related injuries and illnesses treated in U.S. hospital emergency departments by using the OIICS event or exposure and source or secondary source of injury or illness classification schemes. These data are available through the NIOSH online Work-Related Injury Statistics Query System (Work-RISQS).
