WASHINGTON, D.C. – The U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has unveiled a new online tool aimed at enhancing workplace safety awareness and prevention efforts. The Severe Injury Report dashboard provides users with an interactive and comprehensive view of workplace injuries occurring in states covered by federal OSHA.

A New Way to Understand Workplace Injuries

The Severe Injury Report dashboard is designed to give employers, workers, and the public a detailed look at workplace injuries reported by employers covered under federal OSHA since 2015. Users can search and download data by various parameters, including:

• Year
• Industry
• State
• Establishment Name
• Occupational Injury and Illness Classification System Codes

By making this data accessible, OSHA hopes to promote a deeper understanding of how severe injuries occur across different industries and states. This transparency aims to empower stakeholders to take proactive measures to prevent workplace injuries.

Enhancing Workplace Safety Through Transparency

The Severe Injury Report dashboard serves as a valuable resource for employers and workers looking to improve safety practices in their workplaces. It allows users to identify trends and patterns in injury data, helping them pinpoint specific areas where safety improvements may be necessary.

To assist users in navigating the new tool, OSHA has provided a brief instructional video demonstrating how to utilize the dashboard effectively.

Compliance and Support for Employers

Under federal law, employers are required to notify OSHA of work-related incidents involving in-patient hospitalization, amputation, or loss of an eye within 24 hours. The new dashboard is part of OSHA’s ongoing efforts to ensure compliance with these reporting requirements and promote a culture of safety in workplaces across the country.

In addition to the dashboard, OSHA offers compliance assistance specialists and on-site consultations nationwide, including in U.S. territories, to help employers understand and meet their safety obligations.

A Call to Action for Safer Workplaces

By leveraging the Severe Injury Report dashboard, OSHA encourages workers and employers to gain insight into the causes and circumstances surrounding severe workplace injuries. The tool is intended to foster a safer work environment by encouraging the use of OSHA's resources to prevent future incidents.
