This is your 4th notice to complete the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Survey of Occupational Injuries

not yet received your response.
Please follow the instructions below to complete this survey.

received a second email. The second email includes the password needed to open the PDF
attached to this email that has establishment information needed to complete the SOII.
If you cannot find the second email, please check your spam and junk folders. If you still can’t
locate the email, please email the SOII Helpdesk at osh.helpdesk@bls.gov.
