The Survey of Occupational Injuries
and Illnesses is the primary indicator of the Nation's progress in
providing every working man and woman safe and healthful working
conditions. The survey measures the overall rate of work injuries
and illnesses by industry. Survey data are also used to evaluate
the effectiveness of Federal and State programs and to prioritize
scarce resources. Respondents include employers who maintain OSHA
records in accordance with the Occupational Safety and Health Act
and employers who are normally exempt from OSHA recordkeeping. Each
year a sample of exempt employers is required to keep records and
participate in the Survey.

There was a decrease of 123,941
burden hours due to OSHA's transition from SIC to NAICS which
allowed BLS to more precisely identify normally exempt
establishments that are asked to record information for the
SOII.
