Washington — A new video from OSHA describes how to use the agency’s new Severe Injury Report data dashboard.
The dashboard includes all work-related inpatient hospitalizations, amputations or eye losses reported to OSHA, but doesn’t include State Plan data. OSHA estimates that the data, updated each month with “an intentional six-month delay,” covers around half of U.S. workers.
The narratives featured in the dashboard include a description of the severe injury, its source and the body part(s) involved.
“OSHA hopes providing this dashboard will encourage workers and employers to explore these data, learn about how severe injuries happen in their industry and use OSHA’s resources available to help prevent injuries at their workplace,” the agency says in the video.
