The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) releases information on workplace injuries, illnesses, and fatalities for all industry sectors.

Nonfatal Injuries and Illnesses

Annually BLS provides information about average non-fatal injury and illness incidence rates by establishment size within industries (see links to BLS tables below)business. Average incidence rates are reported overall and by quartiles. Note that "establishment" means a location where economic activity is conducted. One firm or enterprise may operate multiple establishments. More information about these definitions may be found at http://www.census.gov/epcd/susb/susbdefs.htm#estab. Also note that some researchers have attributed lower incidence rates for establishments with fewer than 10 employees to possible under-reporting.
