The data comes from 370,000 reports submitted on OSHA Form 300A Summary of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses. In addition, OSHA has posted partial data from more than 732,000 OSHA Forms 300 Log of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses and Form 301 Injury and Illness Incident Report records.

OSHA said that by providing access to injury and illness data, it can assist in identifying unsafe conditions and workplace hazards that may cause occupational injuries and illnesses. Recognizing these hazards will help detect ways to control or prevent them and reduce future injuries.

鈥淎t the core, making this data available protects workers and ensures their health and safety throughout their working day,鈥� OSHA said. 鈥淥SHA is taking additional steps to protect worker privacy by reviewing the remaining data for certain personally identifiable information.鈥�

The agency will make additional data publicly available following the review.
