Data from many different sources on the nature and prevalence of work-related injuries, illnesses, and deaths are now available in one publication for the first time in “Worker Health Chartbook, 2000,” released by the National Institute for Occupational Safety & Health (NIOSH). The Chartbook provides a one-stop resource for current statistics on numbers and types of occupational injuries, illnesses, and deaths by year, as well as incidence rates and trends over time. The statistics are presented in easily readable charts, tables, and graphs, with accompanying text summaries. The entire document can be downloaded; it is available as 2000-127.pdf (268 pages, 12,883K) on the NIOSH Web site www.cdc.gov/niosh/00-127pd.html.
