The information shown in the tables on this page is summarized from injury and illness reports submitted to PMA in 2017. The lost-time injury and illness incidence rate is based on Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) record-keeping criteria and is a national standard used by the government and most industries to provide an overall indication of injury and illness trends. The formula for the lost-time injury and illness incidence rate includes the number of lost-time injuries and illnesses that occurred in the workplace and the total hours worked during the period (usually one year). It is based upon a work force of 100, each working 2,000 hours per year. (Number of injuries and illnesses x 200,000 ÷ total hours worked = Incidence Rate) Southern Northern Pacific Northwest Year Coast California California Oregon Washington 1995 10.90 8.90 15.60 11.50 12.80 1996 10.40 9.30 14.30 12.70 9.90 1997 9.40 8.20 11.60 11.20 11.20 1998 9.20 6.80 15.10 13.90 12.40 1999 8.67 6.64 13.70 12.60 11.20 2000 7.20 5.68 9.81 10.70 10.70 2001 8.40 6.60 13.30 9.64 12.60 2002 8.50 6.49 14.10 11.20 13.30 2003 7.50 6.00 10.50 10.00 11.90 2004 6.77 5.71 9.04 9.95 9.11 2005 7.12 6.15 9.37 9.19 9.06 2006 6.41 5.13 10.69 6.79 9.32 2007 5.92 4.67 10.90 6.34 8.06 2008 5.92 5.00 9.49 7.38 6.81 2009 7.57 6.73 10.63 8.09 8.59 2010 5.81 4.96 8.32 7.56 6.78 2011 5.43 4.57 7.52 8.11 6.02 2012 5.46 4.53 8.22 9.37 5.48 2013 5.01 3.84 6.33 8.42 7.64 2014 4.81 3.72 6.32 8.17 7.76 2015 4.13 2.68 7.19 10.92 7.33 2016 4.14 2.98 6.67 8.48 6.89 2017 3.74 2.88 5.19 7.03 6.51 Most Injured Occupations Semi-Tractor 82 Mechanic (ILWU) 82 Lasher 72 Clerk 63 Holdman 52 Dockman 32 Foreman/Walking Boss 30 Top Handler 28 Cont.
