• Description:
  Occupational Health Indicators: There are over 3 million workers in Washington State. Every year tens of thousands are injured or made ill on the job. These work-related injuries and illnesses have high human and economic costs, but can be prevented. Tracking these injuries and illnesses is the first step to understanding whether prevention methods are succeeding or need to be improved. Washington State researchers at the Department of Labor and Industries worked with the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists (CSTE) Occupational Health workgroup to develop a set of measures to track occupational injuries and illnesses. These measures are called 'occupational health indicators' (OHI) and are meant to provide an overview and general assessment of the occupational health status of Washington State. CSTE publishes OHI data annually, but does not necessarily include the most up-to-date data. Generally, the OHI data on the CSTE website lag the publication year by 3 years (for example, OHI data for year 2014 are not published on the CSTE website until late 2017). In an effort to make WA State OHI data available in more "real-time", this report summarizes the data available from 2010 through the most currently available data. Because data sources differ in publication schedules, portions of the report may be blank where data are not yet available. This document will be updated biannually, or as data becomes available.
