Technical notes, definitions, & references
(Delete this slide; not part of the presentation)
Definitions (See also the Glossary in Injury
Facts®.)
Disabling injury – an injury causing death, permanent disability, or any
degree of temporary total disability beyond the day of the injury.
Disabling injuries are not reported on a national basis, so the totals
shown are approximations based on ratios of disabling injuries to
deaths developed by the National Safety Council.
Non-workers – children, persons keeping house full time, retirees, the
unemployed, and other persons not in the labor force.
Non-work injuries – injuries that are not “on-the-job (occupational)
injuries”. Such injuries may involve workers or non-workers.
Off-the-job injury – an unintentional non-work-related injury to
individuals employed on a full-time or part-time basis. This category
excludes children, persons keeping house full time, retirees, the
unemployed, and other persons not in the labor force.
On the job (occupational) injury – an unintentional injury resulting from
a work-related accident or from a single instantaneous exposure in the
work environment.
Societal costs – total cost of unintentional injury in the United States,
including wage and productivity losses, medical expenses,
administrative expenses, motor-vehicle damage, employer costs, and
fire losses. These costs may be borne by the injured worker and
his/her family, the worker’s employer, insurance companies, or
government (taxpayers).
Workers – all persons gainfully employed, including owners, managers,
other paid employees, the self-employed, and unpaid family workers
but excluding private household workers.
Technical notes
Slide 18. The height of the blue bars represents the average age at
which people die from each cause. The height of the green bars
represents the average additional years of life remaining for a
person who lives to the age represented by the blue bar.
Slides 34-39. These lists of risk factors are not comprehensive.
These are the most common risk factors mentioned in the literature.
Slides 41-44 show the trends in death rates for total unintentionalinjuries and the three venues using index numbers. The indexes are
based on 1992 rates because that was the year that the Census of
Fatal Occupational Injuries was adopted for the Work venue final
count. The index number for a given year is found by dividing the
rate for that year by the rate for 1992 and multiplying by 100. The
Motor Vehicle rate is deaths per 100 million vehicle-miles. The Work
rate is deaths per 100,000 workers. The Home and Community rate
and Total U-I rate are deaths per 100,000 population. Indexes less
than 100 indicate improvement since 1992. Historical death rates
may be found in Injury Facts®.
Slides 47-48 show the formulas used to calculate comparable onthe-job and off-the-job injury incidence rates. You may either keep
these slides in the presentation to show how the rates are
calculated, or remove them (delete or hide) if you think they may
not be appropriate for your audience.
