OSHA releases 2024 injury, illness data for all workplaces

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration on Thursday released 2024 workplace injury and illness data collected from its Injury Tracking Application, providing searchable data for individual workplaces required to electronically submit records.

The data comes from 370,000 reports submitted on OSHA Form 300A Summary of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses and is provided via a spreadsheet. 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, according to a statement.

OSHA says providing access to injury and illness data “will assist in identifying unsafe conditions and workplace hazards that may cause occupational injuries and illnesses” and that “(r)ecognizing these hazards will help detect ways to control or prevent them and reduce future injuries. At the core, making this data available protects workers and ensures their health and safety throughout their working day.”

OSHA said it is “taking additional steps to protect worker privacy by reviewing the remaining data for certain personally identifiable information” and will make additional data publicly available following the review.”
