The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (OSHA) became an official part of the nation's labor laws in 1971. With its passage, Congress declared its intent "...to assure as far as possible every working man and woman in the Nation safe and healthful working conditions and to preserve our human resource."
In order to measure and evaluate the effectiveness of governmental efforts in reducing work related in-juries and illnesses, a standardized system to collect, compile, and analyze the health and safety statistics was established and implemented. This standard system enables data users to identify those industries that need improvement, plan future monitoring and education programs, and allow employers to compare their incidence rates with other firms in the same industry.
Under this system, employers with more than 10 workers in non-exempt industries are required to keep records of all work-related deaths; any diagnosed occupational illness; and any occupational injury which involves loss of consciousness, restriction of work or motion, transfer to another job, or requires medical treatment beyond first aid. These employers maintain a log and summary of occupational injuries and ill-nesses (OSHA No. 300) and supplementary record (OSHA No. 301) of each incident or occurrence within the calendar year. These records are retained at the work site for five years and must be available for inspection by representatives of the U.S. Department of Labor, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Service, or the Montana Department of Labor and Industry.
Employers with 10 or fewer employees and those employers who conduct business in one of the low-hazard industries specified by OSHA in the Federal Register notice of Dec. 28, 1982, are generally exempt from these record-keeping requirements. Instead a sample of these employers is selected to participate in the survey. Participation requires each establishment to maintain records only for that year. The data derived from these records are used only for statistical purposes. In 2009, 3,337 establishments were sur-veyed in Montana.
The Montana Department of Labor and Industry, Research and Analysis Bureau has cooperated with the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics in conducting this annual survey which has provided these essential work injury and illness statistics over the past 25 years.

INTRODUCTION
Changes in Injury and Illness with Days Away From Work Statistics
Beginning with the 2003 reference year, two new classification systems and a redesigned confidentiality method were implemented. The 2002 North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) and the 2000 Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) System are now used to classify industry and occu-pation, respectively. Prior to 2003, the survey used the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) system and the Bureau of the Census occupational coding system. Substantial differences between these sys-tems result in breaks in series for both industry and occupation data. Users are advised against making comparisons between the 2003 industry and occupation categories and the results from previous years.

4 Montana Occupational Injuries and Illnesses 2009
Summary for 2009
In 2009, employees of Montana businesses experienced a total of 17,200 nonfatal occupational injuries and illnesses. This converts into an overall incidence rate of 5.3 accidents and illnesses per 100 full-time workers. Table 1 shows the number of injuries and illnesses and the corresponding incidence rates in private industry in Montana by major industry sectors.

Comparison of overall incidence rates by Major Industry, Montana; 2009
Montana Department of Labor and Industry Research and Analysis Bureau
6 Montana Occupational Injuries and Illnesses 2009
The two industries with the highest incidence rates (Construction and Agriculture, Forestry & Fishing), were industries involved in producing goods, while industries engaged in providing services generally had lower rates.
Montana’s 2009 overall occupational injury and illness incidence rate of 5.3 was a decrease from last year’s rate of 6.4 injuries and illnesses per 100 full-time-workers.
Montana has consistently had higher rates than the national average. The national overall incidence rate for 2009 was 3.6 injuries and illnesses per 100 full-time workers.
Comparison of incidence rates of nonfatal injuries & illnesses,Montana vs. United States; 2008-2009
Incidence rates are set for 100 full time workers.
The formula for computing the incidence rate is as follows:(N/EH) * 200,000, where
N = number of injuries and/or illnesses or lost workdaysEH = total hours worked by all employees during calendar year, and
200,000 = base for 100 full-time equivalent (workers working 40 hoursper week, 50 weeks per year).

Lost Workday Cases
Total lost workday cases involve days away from work, days of restricted activity, or both. This indicator is a measure of the injury or illness severity. Using this as a measure of severity, the injuries and illnesses reported in Montana are similar to those reported elsewhere. In Montana Private Industry, an estimated 6,800 of the 14,300 cases were recordable injuries with 5,000 involving at least one day away from work.
The most common type of injury nationally, and in Montana, was a sprain or strain. A little less than half of the injuries reported (44 percent) involved sprains or strains. Fractures were the second leading nature of injuries with days away from work with a reported 8.8 percent of the overall injuries. Cuts and lacera-tions, accounted for 8.4 percent of the injury and illness cases reported.

Appendix D
Glossary of Terms
Montana Department of Labor and Industry Research and Analysis Bureau
Montana Occupational Injuries and Illnesses 2009 35
Annual summary - Consists of a copy of the occupational injury and illness totals for the year from the OSHA No. 300, and the following information: the calendar year covered, company name, establishment address, certification signature, title, and date.
Annual survey - Each year the Bureau of Labor Statistics conducts an annual sur-vey of occupational injuries and illnesses to produce national statistics. The OSHA injury and illness records maintained by employers in their establishments serve as the basis for this survey.
Cooperative program - A program jointly conducted by the states and the federal government to collect occupational injury and illness statistics.
Employee - One who is employed in the business of his or her employer affecting commerce.
Employer - Any person engaged in a business affecting commerce that has employ-ees.
Establishment - A single physical location where business is conducted or where services or industrial operations are performed; the place where the employees re-port for work, operate from, or from which they are paid.
Exposure - The reasonable likelihood that a worker is or was subject to some effect, influence, or safety hazard; or in contact with a hazardous chemical or physical agent at a sufficient concentration and duration to produce an illness.
Federal Register - The official source of information and notification on OSHA’s proposed rulemaking, standards, regulations, and other official matters, including amendments, corrections, insertions, or deletions.
First aid - Any one-time treatment and subsequent observation of minor scratches, cuts, burns, splinters, and so forth, which do not ordinarily require medical care. Such treatment and observation are considered first aid even though provided by a physician or registered professional personnel.
First report of injury - A worker’s compensation form, which may qualify as a substitute for the supplementary record OSHA No. 301.
Montana Department of Labor and Industry Research and Analysis Bureau
36 Montana Occupational Injuries and Illnesses 2009
Hours worked - The total hours worked by all employees during the report period. Includes all time on duty, but does not include vacations, holidays, sick leave, and all other non-work time even though paid.
Incidence rate - The number of injuries, illnesses, or lost workdays related to a common exposure base of 100 full-time workers. The common exposure base en-ables one to make accurate inter-industry comparisons, trend analysis over time, or comparisons among firms regardless of size.
Log and summary - (OSHA No. 300) The OSHA record-keeping form used to list injuries and illness, also to note the extent of each case.
Lost workday cases – The cases that involve days away from work, days of re-stricted work activity, or both.
Lost workdays - The number of workdays (consecutive or not) beyond the day of injury or onset of illness the employee was away from work or limited to restricted work activity because of an occupational injury or illness.
Lost workdays-away from work - The number of workdays (consecutive or not) on which the employee would have worked but could not because of occupational injury or illness. The number of days away from work or days of restricted work activity does not include the day of injury or onset of illness.
Lost workdays-restricted work activity - The number of workdays (consecutive or not) on which, because of injury or illness: (1) the employee was assigned to an-other job on a temporary basis; or (2) the employee worked at a permanent job less than full time; or (3) the employee worked at a permanently assigned job but could not perform all duties normally connected with it. The number of days away from work or days of restricted work activity does not include the day of injury or onset of illness.
Low-hazard industries - Selected industries in retail trade, finance, insurance, and real estate; and services which are regularly exempt from OSHA record-keeping. To be included in this exemption, an industry must fall within a NAICS sector not tar-geted for general schedule inspections and must have an average lost workday case injury rate for a designated three-year measurement period at or below 75 percent of the U.S. private sector average rate.
Montana Department of Labor and Industry Research and Analysis Bureau
Montana Occupational Injuries and Illnesses 2009 37
Medical treatment - Includes treatment of injuries administered by physicians, reg-istered professional personnel or lay persons (i.e., non-medical personnel). Medical treatment does not include first aid treatment (one-time treatment and subsequent observation of minor scratches, cuts, burns, splinters, and so forth, which do not ordinarily require medical care) even though provided by a physician or registered professional personnel. North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) - A classification sys-tem that groups establishments into industries based on the activities in which they are primarily engaged. NAICS classifies all economic activities into 20 sectors. Each establishment is assigned an industry code for its major activity, which is determined by the product or group of products produced or services rendered. The structure of NAICS is hierarchical. Establishments may be classified in two-digits (designates the sector), three-digits (designates the subsector), four-digits (designates the indus-try group), five-digits (designates the NAICS industry), or six-digits (designates the national industry).
Occupational Illness - Any abnormal condition or disorder, other than one resulting from an occupational injury, caused by exposure to environmental factors associated with employment. It includes acute and chronic illnesses or diseases, which may be caused by inhalation, absorption, ingestion, or direct contact.
Occupational skin diseases or disorders - Examples are: contact dermatitis, ecze-ma or rash caused by primary irritants and sensitizers or poisonous plants; oil acne; chrome ulcers; chemical burns or inflammations; etc.
Dust diseases of the lungs - Examples are: silicosis, asbestosis and other asbes-tos-related diseases, coal worker’s pneumoconiosis, byssinosis, siderosis and other pneumoconiosis.
Respiratory conditions due to toxic agents - Examples are: pneumonitis, pharyn-gitis, rhinitis or acute congestion due to chemicals, dusts, gases, or fumes, farmer’s lung, etc.
Poisoning - Systemic effects of toxic materials. Examples are: poisoning by lead, mercury, cadmium, arsenic or other metals; poisoning by carbon monoxide, hydro-gen sulfide or other gases; poisoning by benzol, carbon tetrachloride or other organic solvents; poisoning by insecticide sprays such as parathion and lead arsenate; poi-soning by other chemicals such as formaldehyde, plastics and resins; etc.

Examples are: heat-stroke, sunstroke, heat exhaustion, and other effects of environmental heat; freez-ing, frostbite, and effects of exposure to low temperatures; caisson disease; effects of ionizing radiation (isotopes, X-rays, radium); effects of non-ionizing radiation (welding flash, ultraviolet rays, microwaves, sunburn), etc.
Disorders associated with repeated trauma - Examples are: noise-induced hear-ing loss; synovitis, tenosynovitis, and bursitis; Reynaud’s phenomena; and other conditions due to repeated motion, vibration, or pressure.
All other occupational illnesses - Examples are: anthrax, brucellosis, infectious hepatitis, malignant and benign tumors, food poisoning, histoplasmosis, coccidioi-domycosis, etc.
Occupational Injury - Any injury such as a cut, fracture, sprain, amputation, etc., which results from a work accident or from a single instantaneous exposure in the work environment. Note: Conditions resulting from animal bites, such as insect or snakebites, and from one-time exposure to chemicals are considered to be injuries.
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) - OSHA is responsible for developing, implementing and enforcing safety and health standards and regu-lations. OSHA works with employers and employees to foster effective safety and health programs which reduce workplace hazards.
Recordable cases - All work-related deaths and illnesses and those work-related injuries which result in loss of consciousness, restriction of work or motion, transfer to another job, or require medical treatment beyond first aid.
Regularly exempt employers - Employers regularly exempt from OSHA record-keeping include, but are not limited to, employers in retail trade; finance, insurance, and real estate; services industries; and all employers with no more than 10 full or part-time employees at any one time in the previous calendar year. (Note: Some state safety and health laws may require these employers to keep OSHA records.)
Restriction of work or motion - Occurs when the employee, because of the result of a job-related injury or illness, is physically or mentally unable to perform all or any part of his or her normal assignment during all or any part of the workday or shift.
Montana Department of Labor and Industry Research and Analysis Bureau

Scope and Methodology of Survey
Montana Department of Labor and Industry Research and Analysis Bureau
Montana Occupational Injuries and Illnesses 2009 41
Scope
The Survey of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses provides annual estimates of the frequen-cy (incidence rates) and number of occupational injuries and illnesses based on logs kept by private industry employers. These logs reflect the year’s injury and illness incidents and the employers understanding of which cases were work related, under current record-keeping guidelines provided by the U.S. Department of Labor. The number of injuries and illnesses reported in any given year may be influenced by changes in the level of economic activity, working conditions and work practices, number of hours worked, and worker experience and training.
The survey includes the following industry sectors: Agriculture, Forestry, Fishing and Hunting, NAICS 11; Mining, NAICS 21; Utilities, NAICS 22; Construction, NAICS 23; Manufacturing, NAICS 31-33; Wholesale Trade, NAICS 42; Retail Trade, NAICS 44-45; Transportation and Warehousing, NAICS 48-49; Information, NAICS 51; Finance and In-surance, NAICS 52; Real Estate and Renting and Leasing, NAICS 53; Professional, Scientif-ic, and Technical Services, NAICS 54; Management of Companies and Enterprises, NAICS 55; Administrative and Support and Waste Management and Remediation Services, NAICS 56; Educational Services, NAICS 61; Health Care and Social Assistance, NAICS 62; Arts, Entertainment, and Recreation, NAICS 71; Accommodations and Food Service, NAICS 72; and Other Services (except Public Administration) NAICS 81, Public Administration NA-ICS 92. Excluded from the survey are self-employed individuals; farms with fewer than 11 employees; and employers regulated by other federal safety and health laws.
Data conforming to definitions of recordable occupational injuries and illnesses for coal, metal and nonmetal mining, and railroad transportation are provided by the Mine Safety and Health Administration, Department of Labor, and the Federal Railroad Administra-tion, Department of Transportation.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration is responsible for the collection and compilation of comparable data for federal agencies. State and local government agencies are not surveyed for national estimates. Several states have legislation that enables them to collect data for this sector; Montana is not one of these states.

42 Montana Occupational Injuries and Illnesses 2009
Sample
A two-stage sample selection process generates the survey estimates. The first stage involves selecting establishments. The second stage involves selecting the sample of cases involving days away from work, which is derived from the sample establishments.
Because the survey is a federal-state cooperative program and the data must meet the needs of participating state agencies, an independent sample is selected for each state. The sample is selected to represent all private industries in the state. The sample size for the survey is dependent upon (1) the characteristics for which estimates are needed, (2) the industries for which estimates are desired, (3) the characteristics of the population being sampled, (4) the target reliability of the estimates, and (5) the survey design employed.
For the establishment selection process, the total number of lost workdays is used as the base for the sample design. The sample design is based on lost workday cases because it is considered the most important characteristic of the sample.
The important features of the sample design are its use of stratified random sampling with a Neyman allocation and a ratio estimator. The characteristics used to stratify the estab-lishments are the North American Industry Classification System code and employment. Because these characteristics are highly correlated with an establishment’s number and rate of reported in-juries and illnesses, stratified sampling provides greater precision and, thus, results in a smaller sample size than simple random sampling. The Neyman allocation produces the minimum sample size which will provide an estimate with a fixed sampling variance. For the largest employment size classes, the allocation procedure places all of the establishments of the frame in the sample; as employment decreases, smaller and smaller proportions of establishments are included in the sample. The certainty strata are usually the size groups with 1,000 employees or more. The precision of the sample is further im-proved, permitting reduction in sample size by using the ratio estimator, which in turn uses employment data that are correlated with the characteristics that are to be measured.
The sample of cases involving days away from work is derived from the sampled establish-ments. For each sample unit, an expected number of cases involving days away from work is calculated based on the industry and employment size in which that establishment resides. If the expected number of cases is greater than 15, the establishment is requested to pro-vide demographically detailed case characteristics information, and the number of work-days missed for cases occurring at specified time intervals (for example, certain days of the month, only certain months). For those establishments with an expected case load less than or equal to 15, the employer is requested to provide case information for all cases involving days away from work occurring in the survey year. Either way, employers are permitted to attach supplementary forms that answer questions about individual days-away-from-work cases.
Montana Department of Labor and Industry Research and Analysis Bureau
Montana Occupational Injuries and Illnesses 2009 43
Estimating procedures
Sample unit weighting. By means of a weighting procedure, sample units represent all units in their size class for a particular industry. The weight is determined by the inverse of the sampling ratio for the industry employment-size class from which the unit was selected. Because a small proportion of survey forms were not returned, weights of responding em-ployers in a sampling cell are adjusted to account for the nonrespondents. The respondents are then shifted into the estimating cell determined by the employment reported. Data for each unit are multiplied by the appropriate weight and nonresponse adjustment factor. The products are then aggregated to obtain a total for the estimating cell.
Industry Benchmarking. Because the universe file that provides the sample frame is not current to the reference year of the survey, it is necessary to adjust the data to reflect current employment levels. In the survey, all estimates of totals are adjusted by the benchmark fac-tor at the estimating cell level. The benchmarking procedure requires a source of accurate employment data that can be converted into an annual average employment figure for the cell level in which separate estimates are desired. Because industry/employment size data are required for national estimates, benchmark factors are calculated using both industry level employment data and size class level employment data. The benchmark factors are ap-plied to the size class estimates.
Weighting cases involving days away from work. Each case involving days away from work is weighted by the sample unit weight with which it is associated and the industry bench-mark factor in which the associated sample unit resides. In addition, each case is weighted to adjust for case subsampling and case nonresponse for those establishments which did not provide information on all cases with days away from work which occurred in their establishment in the survey year.
Federal-state cooperation
To eliminate duplicate reporting by respondents and to ensure maximum comparability of estimates, survey respondents complete one reporting form, which is then used for national and state estimates.
Industrial classification
Reporting units are classified into industries by their principal product or activities in which they are primarily engaged, based on the 2007 revised edition of the North American Indus-try Classification System (NAICS). The data are tabulated according to this NAICS scheme.
Montana Department of Labor and Industry Research and Analysis Bureau

Reliability of estimates
The survey estimates of occupational injuries and illnesses are based on a scientifically se-lected probability sample, rather than a census of the entire population. These sample-based estimates may differ from the results obtained from a census of the population. The sample used was one of many possible samples, each of which could have produced different es-timates. The variation in the sample estimates across all possible samples that could have been drawn is measured by the relative standard error. The relative standard error is used to calculate a “confidence interval” around a sample estimate.
The 95-percent confidence interval is the interval centered at the sample estimate and in-cludes all values within two times the estimate’s standard error. If several different samples were selected to estimate the population value (for example, injury and illness incidence rates), the 95-percent confidence interval would include the true population value approxi-mately 95 percent of the time.
The relative standard errors for the rate of injuries and illnesses are calculated for national estimates only. They are not available at the state level.
Nonsampling error
Although not measured, nonsampling error will always occur when statistics are gathered. The inability to obtain information about all cases in the sample, mistakes in recording or coding the data, and definitional difficulties are general examples of nonsampling error in the survey. The Bureau of Labor Statistics has implemented quality assurance procedures to reduce nonsampling error in the survey, including a rigorous training program for state coders, mechanical edits that identify questionable entries, and a continuing effort to en-courage survey participants to respond fully and accurately to all survey elements.
Publication guidelines
The estimating procedure generates occupational injury and illness estimates for many hundreds of NAICS codes. This publication, however, excludes estimates for industry codes if one of the following situations occurred:
• The industry had fewer than six employees or the industry estimates were based on reports from fewer than three companies. In addition, if three or more com-panies reported data from the industry, one firm could not employ more than 60 percent of the workers.
Montana Department of Labor and Industry Research and Analysis Bureau
Montana Occupational Injuries and Illnesses 2009 45
• Annual average employment for the industry in 2010 was less than 10,000. How-ever, data for an industry with an annual average employment of less than 10,000 were published if the majority of the employment was reported in the survey.
• The relative standard error on total lost workday cases for the industry exceeds a specified limit.
• The benchmark factor for the industry was less than 0.90 or greater than 1.49.
• The publication might disclose confidential information.
Data for an unpublished industry are included in the total for the broader industry level of which it is a part. Also, selected items of data are suppressed for publishable industries if the sampling error for the estimate exceeds a specified limit, typically 60 percent at the national level.
For the case characteristics and demographic data, items of data were suppressed at a na-tional level if one of the following situations occurred:
• The number of cases was less than five.
• The number of cases was greater than five and less than or equal to 20 and the sampling error for the estimate was unusually high, typically exceeding 60 percent.
• The number of cases was greater than 20 and the sampling error was unusually high, typically exceeding 40 percent.

Appendix F
How to compute incidence rates for an establishment
Montana Department of Labor and Industry Research and Analysis Bureau
Montana Occupational Injuries and Illnesses 2009 47
For employers, the case rate figures presented in this publication are more meaningful when viewed against their own firm experience. A comparison can be made between a single firm and the industry to which the firm belongs. For example, an employer engaged in the manufacture of metal stampings (NAICS 332116) can see his company compared with other manufacturers in Montana by calculating his total case rate and comparing it to the figures in this document. Similarly, a general contractor of residential construction (NAICS 236115) can relate the company’s time loss case experience to other construction firms in Montana. By consulting the national data book, these employers can compare their experience with more detailed industry data at the national level.
Instructions for computingincidence rates for an individual establishment
Incidence rates for an individual establishment or firm may be calculated by using the same formula that is used to calculate industry wide rates from the annual Occupational Injury and Illness Survey. The formula requires: (a) the number of injuries and illnesses; and (b) the total number of hours actually worked by all employees during the reference period. The reference period is usually the calendar year.
The formula for computing the incidence rate is as follows:(N/EH) * 200,000, where
N = number of injuries and or illnesses or lost workdaysEH = total hours worked by all employees during calendar year, and 200,000 = base for 100 full-time equivalent workers working 40
hours per week, 50 weeks per year).
An employer may compute the incidence rate for injuries only, illnesses only, lost work cases and nonfatal cases without lost workdays. Simply replace the number of injuries and illnesses in the numerator with the measure with which the rate is being computed.
Additional questions regarding case rates, their calculation, or use may be answered by contacting the Research and Analysis Bureau, Occupational Safety and Health Statistics Program, Montana Department of Labor and Industry at (800) 541-3904.
We will do our best to provide this information in assessible format, on request, in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act.
