For assistance with the SOII view available resources below.

The New York State Department of Labor, in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), conducts an annual Survey of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses (SOII). This survey collects, compiles, analyzes and publishes nonfatal, work-related injuries and illnesses data for both the private and public employment sectors in the state. The survey results exclude nonfatal injuries and illnesses to the self-employed, workers on farms with fewer than 11 employees, private household workers, and federal government employees. 

The New York State survey contains about 10,000 private sector establishments and 2,000 public sector units drawn from state and local government agencies. National estimates exclude employees in state and local government agencies. The SOII provides estimates of the number and frequency (or incidence rates) of workplace injuries and illnesses based on logs kept by employers during a calendar year. Those records reflect not only the year's injury and illness experiences, but also employers' understanding of which cases are work related under guidelines specified by the U.S. Department of Labor, Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). The number of injuries and illnesses reported in any given year can also be influenced by a variety of factors, including: the level of economic activity; work conditions and work practices; the experience and training of workers; and the number of hours worked. 

The dashboard can be used to explore the data in several ways. 

• Incidence by Industry and Type – Shows the incidence rate of nonfatal occupational injuries and illnesses by industry and case type. 
• Cases by Industry and Type – Shows the number of nonfatal occupational injuries and illnesses by industry and case type. 
• Cases by Industry and Size – Displays the incidence rate of nonfatal occupational injuries and illnesses by industry and employment size. 
• Incidence and Cases by Industry – Displays the incidence rate and number of nonfatal occupational injuries and illnesses by industry. 
• Incidence and Cases by Industry and Type – Shows the incidence rate and number of nonfatal occupational illnesses by industry and category of illness.
