• Description:
  The Occupational Injury and Illness Classification System (OIICS) was developed by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) to characterize occupational injury and illness incidents. OIICS was originally released in 1992. The BLS redesigned OIICS in 2010 with subsequent revisions in 2012, thus the new version (version 2.01) is significantly different from the previous version (version 2007). This study examined the effects of the OIICS revisions on safety and health surveillance by analyzing leading causes of fatal injuries in the construction industry under the new and old OIICS. The results show that the new OIICS provides more detailed information than version 2007, thus enhancing the system's usefulness in injury prevention. [Description provided by NIOSH]
