Corrected Data Now Available for Survey of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses

The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) issued a notice on Oct. 9, 2014, alerting users that incorrect national-level estimates of nonfatal occupational injuries and illnesses among private-sector industries were published for the Survey of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses (SOII) for reference years 2011 and 2012. Corrected data for the 2011 and 2012 reference periods from SOII are now available at http://www.bls.gov/iif/#data.

BLS also rescheduled the Nonfatal Occupational Injuries and Illnesses Requiring Days Away From Work, 2013 release to Dec. 16, 2014. The BLS release calendar reflects the new release dates.
