Rather than design and conduct an entirely separate
survey, BLS integrated the pilot study with the existing
BLS Survey of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses (SOII),
an annual survey of more than 240,000 establishments.
In the SOII, establishments are asked to provide detailed
information about injuries and illnesses that led to days
away from work. For the pilot study, establishments in the
six selected private industry subsectors (as designated by
North American Industry Classification System, 2007) were

he Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) recently conducted
a pilot study to learn more about occupational injuries
and illnesses that resulted in days of job transfer or
work restriction. The purpose of this study is to compare the
case circumstances and worker characteristics of injuries and
illnesses that require days away from work to recuperate and
those that lead to days of job transfer or restriction only, without
time away from work. The pilot study used data from 2011
through 2013, and it focused on six initial private industries:

asked to provide details for injuries and illnesses that led
only to job transfer or restricted work. (This was in addition
to the normally collected SOII information on daysaway-from-work cases.) The newly collected information
includes details about:
•
the type or nature of injury or illness
•
•
•
the type of event or exposure leading to the injury or
illness
the part of body affected
•
the type of equipment or substance related to the
event
or exposure
and various characteristics of the injured or ill
worker
•
•
The detailed data for days-away-from-work cases have
been available since 1992 (for most industries). Details
about days-of-job-transfer-or-restriction cases became
available for the first time for 2011 data for the selected six
industries. One reason for studying these data is that cases
of job transfer or restriction have become more prevalent
over time. In 1992, days-of-job-transfer cases accounted
for 21 percent of the total days-away-from-work, restrictedactivity, or job-transfer-or-restriction cases. (See chart 1.)
In 2013, days-of-job-transfer-or-restriction cases accounted
for 42 percent of the total days away from work, restricted
activity, or job transfer cases.
This report presents data highlights and statistical tables
on injuries and illnesses that led to employees being
transferred to another job or restricted from their normal
duties. Three types of cases are discussed in this report:
1. DART: Days away from work, days of restricted
work activity, or job transfer
2. DJTR: Days of job transfer or restriction (only)
3. DAFW: Days away from work (with or without days
of job transfer or restriction)
DJTR and DAFW cases are the two components of DART
cases. That is, DART = DJTR + DAFW. Throughout this
report comparisons are made highlighting the differences
or similarities in case counts and incidents rates and how
they relate to the overall days away from work, days of
restricted work activity, or job transfer cases.
For a detailed description of the source of these data and
an explanation of the concepts and definitions used, see the
accompanying technical notes section.

Highlights
The incidence rates for all cases of days of job transfers
or restrictions (DJTR) in each of the six pilot industries
remained unchanged in each of the study years 2011
through 2013. (See table 2.) However, incidence rates at
the industry level were already available from the Survey
of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses before this study
was conducted. The pilot study makes available for the
first time the details of days-of-job-transfer-or-restriction
cases, such as the relationship between musculoskeletal
disorders and days of job transfer or restriction. This is
an important category because musculoskeletal disorders
typically account for nearly one-third of days-awayfrom-work cases. Musculoskeletal disorders are also a
unique category to study because several types of injuries
or disorders resulting from various types of events or
exposures are included in its makeup. For example,
musculoskeletal disorders include sprains, strains, tears,
pain, soreness, carpal tunnel syndrome, and hernia, which
may be a result of overexertion, bodily motion, or repetitive
motion. (For a complete list of event or exposure and injury
(also known as nature of injury) categories that make up
musculoskeletal disorders, please visit www.bls.gov/iif.)
For each year from 2011 to 2013, the incidence rate of
days-of-job-transfer-or-restriction cases resulting from
musculoskeletal disorders was greater than the rates of
days-away-from-work (DAFW) cases for musculoskeletal
disorders in food manufacturing, building material and
garden equipment supplies dealers, warehousing and
storage, and nursing and residential care facilities. (See
chart 2.) In the nursing and residential care facilities
industry, the incidence rates for musculoskeletal disorders
for job-transfer-or-restriction cases were essentially
the same for the 3-year period from 2011 to 2013.
However, the amount of days-away-from-work rate for
musculoskeletal disorders was smaller in 2013 than in 2011
and 2012 in this industry.
This pilot study is an effort to better understand the details
of the case circumstances and worker characteristics of
job-transfer and worker-restriction cases. Over the long
term, the proportion of transfer and restriction cases has

increased. These data provide a new understanding about
how injuries and illnesses that lead to days of job transfer
or restriction differ from those that lead to days away from
work
Specialty trade contractors
In 2013, there were 22,720 nonfatal injury and illness
cases with days of job transfer or restriction (DJTR) in the
specialty trade contractors industry. The number of cases
was essentially the same from 2011 through 2013. (See
table 1.) Injuries and illnesses resulting in cases of days of
job transfer or restriction in this industry occurred at a rate
of 69.4 cases per 10,000 full-time workers in 2013. The
incidence rates for days-of-job-transfer-or-restriction cases
in the specialty trade contractors industry essentially did
not change from 2012 to 2013. The median number of days
of job transfer or restriction was 9 days in 2013, only 1 day
less than the median for 2011 and 2012. The share of the
days-of-job-transfer-or-restriction cases within this industry
was 28 percent of the days-away-from-work, restriction, or
transfer (DART) cases in 2013, compared with all private
industries where the days-of-job-transfer-or-restriction
share of days-away-from-work, restriction, or transfer cases
was 42 percent in 2013.
Construction and extraction occupations comprised nearly
three-quarters of the days-of-job-transfer-or-restriction
cases in the specialty trade contractors industry in 2011–
2013 (16,890 cases in 2013). (See table 1.) This was a
similar proportion as the days-away-from-work cases in
2013 for this occupation group, where there were 42,530
days away from work cases out of a total 57,180 daysaway-from-work, restriction, or transfer cases. Installation,
maintenance, and repair workers had the next highest
number of days-of-job-transfer-or-restriction cases in 2013,
with 3,730 cases. For both of these occupation groups
(construction and extraction; installation, maintenance,
and repair) in 2013, 28 percent of days-away-from-work,
restriction, or transfer cases resulted in days-of-job-transferor-restriction cases. Workers in both groups also spent a
median of 9 days on restricted work in 2013 after an injury
or illness. Most other occupation groups in this industry
had higher median days of job transfer or restriction in
4
2013. For example, transportation and material moving
workers required a median of 12 days and management
workers required a median of 11 days. However, they
had relatively few cases, compared with construction and
extraction and installation and repair workers.
The most frequent injury or illness that resulted in daysaway-from-work, restriction, or transfer cases in 2013 in
the specialty trade contractors industry was sprains, strains,
and tears. (See table 1.) Two-fifths (10,160) of these cases
resulted in job transfer or work restriction. Sprains, strains,
and tears occurred at a rate of 31 cases of job transfer or
restriction per 10,000 full-time workers in this industry in
2013 and was greater than the rate of 24 reported in 2011.
(See table 2.) The days-away-from-work rate for sprains,
strains, and tears was 48.5 cases per 10,000 full-time
workers in 2013, essentially the same as reported in 2011
and 2012.
Nearly one-third of the musculoskeletal disorders that
led to days-away-from-work, restriction, or transfer
cases (24,320) resulted in job transfer or work restriction
(7,890) in 2013, with a rate of 24.1 per 10,000 full-time
workers. The incidence rate and number of musculoskeletal
disorders of days-away-from-work, restriction, or transfer
cases have remained essentially unchanged from 2011
to 2013. The median number of days of job transfer or
restriction for musculoskeletal disorders decreased from
14 days in 2012 to 12 days in 2013. However, this was still
one more day than reported for 2011. (See table 3.)
Food manufacturing
In 2013, the food manufacturing industry had 28,610 daysof-job-transfer-or-restriction (DJTR) cases, with a rate
of 198.4 cases per 10,000 full-time workers. The median
duration of job transfer or restriction for this industry was
16 days (higher than the median of 15 days in both 2011
and 2012). (See table 3) The number of days of job transfer
or restriction and the incidence rate in this industry were
unchanged from 2011 through 2013.
Sprains, strains, and tears was the leading injury or illness
for both days-of-job-transfer-or-restriction cases and daysaway-from-work (DAFW) cases in food manufacturing for
the entire covered period of the pilot study. (See table 1.) The

rate of days-of-job-transfer-or-restriction cases in this industry
for sprains, strains, or tears (68.9 cases per 10,000 full-time
workers) was more than 1– ½ times greater than the rate of
days-away-from-work cases in 2013. Almost half of the cases
of days of job transfer in the food manufacturing industry
were musculoskeletal disorders, which includes many strains,
sprains, and tears. By comparison, musculoskeletal disorders
constituted roughly one-third of days away from work cases
each year in this industry.

In each of the study years 2011 to 2013, more than half of
the days-away-from-work, restriction, or transfer (DART)
cases in the food manufacturing industry occurred to
production workers. (See table 1.) Within production
occupations, meat, poultry, and fish cutters and trimmers
had 3,670 injuries and illnesses that led to days of job
transfer or restriction in 2013, the highest among detailed
occupations in food manufacturing. (See table A.) Among
the detailed production occupations (such as cutters and
trimmers, slaughterers and meat packers and packaging
machine operators) and laborers and freight handlers,
injuries and illnesses resulted predominantly in job transfer
or work restriction. For example, 79 percent of the cases
of injury and illness experienced by slaughterers and meat
packers resulted in job transfer or work restriction. Other
occupations in food manufacturing that had at least or
nearly 1,000 cases of days of job transfer or restriction in
2013 dealt primarily with facility maintenance and upkeep
(such as janitors and cleaners or maintenance and repair
workers). About half of the injury and illness cases resulted
in job transfer or restriction for maintenance and repair
workers (54 percent) and janitors and cleaners (51 percent).
Building material and garden
equipment and supplies dealers
In 2013, there were 16,080 cases of days of job transfer or
restriction (DJTR) in the building equipment and garden
supplies dealers industry, which was 14 percent lower than
the cases reported for 2011. The days-of-job-transfer-orrestriction incidence rate in 2013 was 152 cases per 10,000
full-time workers, declining from 171.5 in 2012 and 181.3
in 2011. The median days of job transfer or restriction
fluctuated from 15 days in 2011 to a low of 13 days in 2012
and a high of 17 days in 2013. In 2011, 52 percent of the
injuries and illnesses in this industry resulted in job transfer
or restriction, and in 2013, the proportion was 49 percent.
In 2013, sales and related workers, transportation and
material moving workers, and office and administrative
support workers had the highest number of days-awayfrom-work, restriction, or transfer (DART) cases and
accounted for 89 percent of the total cases in this industry.
Of the 16,590 cases of days away from work, restriction,
or transfer reported for sales and related workers, 57
BLS Reports │ July 2015 • www.bls.gov5 J O B - T R A N S F E R O R W O R K - R E S T R I C T I O N C A S E S , 2 0 11 – 2 0 1 3
percent resulted in job transfer or restriction. (See table
1.) Sales and related workers required a median of 20
days of job transfer or restriction—3 more days than all
workers in this industry subsector. (See table 3.) Of the
8,640 cases reported for transportation and material moving
workers, fewer cases resulted in job transfer or restriction
(41 percent) than in days away from work (59 percent).
Transportation and material moving workers required a
median of 14 days of job transfer or restriction before
returning to their normal work duties—3 days less than all
workers in this industry.
From 2011 through 2013, sprains, strains, and tears was the
most common type of injury or illness in the building material
and garden equipment supplies dealers industry, for both
days-of-job-transfer-or-restriction cases and days-away-fromwork (DAFW) cases. (See table 1.) Of the 17,410 sprain,
strain, and tear cases in this industry in 2013, 56 percent
resulted in job transfer or restriction. In 2011 and 2012,
sprain, strain, and tear cases accounted for 57 percent and 55
percent of the job-transfer-or-restriction cases, respectively.
Injuries and illnesses resulting in days away from work,
restriction, or transfer occurred predominantly to male
workers rather than female workers in this industry. For
example, in 2013 about three-quarters (24,350) of the
injuries and illnesses occurred to male workers. (See table 1.)
In each of the three study years from 2011 to 2013, female
workers had slightly more job-transfer or work-restriction
cases than days-away-from-work cases. For example, in
2013, female workers had 4,530 job-transfer cases and 3,690
days-away-from-work cases. Male workers had about the
same number of job-transfer or work-restriction cases and
days-away-from-work cases in 2011 and 2012.
Air transportation
In 2013, there were 4,640 injuries and illnesses that led
to only days of job transfer or restriction (DJTR) in the
air transportation industry, essentially the same number
of cases reported in 2011 (4,410) and 2012 (4,480). Jobtransfer or restriction cases in air transportation occurred
at a rate of 135.2 cases per 10,000 full-time workers, in
2013—essentially the same as the rates reported for 2011
and 2012. In 2013, days-of-job-transfer cases accounted for
6
24 percent of the total injuries and illnesses requiring job
transfer or restriction or days away from work. In 2011 and
2012, days-of-job-transfer cases accounted for 22 percent
of the total injuries and illnesses requiring job transfer or
restriction or days away from work. The median duration of
job transfer or restriction was 7 days in 2013—down from
12 days in 2011.
In 2013, the majority of the nonfatal occupational
injuries and illnesses that resulted in days away from
work, restriction, or transfer (DART) in air transportation
occurred to office and administrative support workers
(10,790) and transportation and material moving workers
(6,210). (See table 1.) Within these two occupational
groups, cargo and freight agents, flight attendants, and
reservation and transportation ticket agents had at least
1,000 cases of days away from work, restriction, or
transfer. (See chart 3.) Days-away-from-work (DAFW)
cases accounted for about three-quarters of all injuries and
illnesses in air transportation in 2013.
Workers in different occupations had different experiences
in how their cases were managed—either as job transfer or
restriction or days away from work. In 2013, nearly all of
the injuries and illnesses to flight attendants resulted in days
away from work. For reservation and transportation ticket
agents, there were essentially an equal number of cases of
job transfer or restriction (1,280) and days away from work
(1,210) reported. Of the three selected specific occupations
in air transportation, cargo and freight agents had the total
highest number of cases—73 percent of which resulted in
days away from work.
From 2011 through 2013, the leading injury or illness in
air transportation was sprains, strains, and tears for both
job-transfer-or-restriction cases and days-away-from-work
cases. In 2013, about one-quarter (2,810) of days-awayfrom-work, restriction, or transfer cases (10,750) were
caused by sprains, strains, and tears and resulted in days of
job transfer or restriction.
Warehousing and storage
There were 12,380 injuries and illnesses that resulted in
job transfer or restriction (DJTR) in the warehousing and
storage industry in 2013, essentially the same as reported

for 2012. This resulted in a rate of 197 cases per 10,000
full-time workers—essentially the same as in 2011 and
2012. In 2013, 53 percent of the days-away-from-work,
restriction, or transfer (DART) cases resulted in days of job
transfer or restriction in warehousing and storage. Workers
in warehousing and storage required a median of 14 days
of job transfer or restriction in 2013 to recover from their
injuries before returning to their normal work duties. This
was one more day than was required by workers in 2011
and 2012.
From 2011 to 2013, musculoskeletal disorders accounted
for approximately half of the days-away-from-work,
restriction, or transfer (DART) cases. For example, in 2013,
there were 12,430 musculoskeletal disorder cases out of a
total of 23,450 cases. (See table 1.) In 2013, there was nearly
a 50-50 split between days-away-from-work cases and
days-of-job-transfer-or-restriction cases for musculoskeletal
disorder cases. There was essentially no change in the rate
of musculoskeletal disorder cases resulting in days of job
transfer or restriction from 2011 to 2013.
In 2013, slightly more than one-third of the days-awayfrom-work, restriction, or transfer cases in warehousing
and construction resulted in injuries or illnesses to upper
extremities (8,490) such as shoulders or hands. Of the cases
involving upper extremities, 58 percent (4,930) resulted in
job transfer or restriction. Injuries and illnesses involving
the trunk accounted for 30 percent of the days-away-fromwork, restriction, or transfer cases in 2013 and another 22
percent involved lower extremities. There was nearly a
50-50 split between the number of days-away-from-work
cases and days-of-job transfer-or-restriction cases for these
two broad part of body types. For example, for injuries and
illnesses to the trunk, there were 3,850 cases of days of job
transfer or restriction and 3,260 cases of days away from
work in 2013.
In 2013, nonfatal occupational injuries and illnesses
resulting in days away from work, restriction, or transfer
occurred primarily in two occupational groups in
warehousing and storage: transportation and material

moving occupations with 13,760 cases and office and
administrative support occupations with 6,600 cases. (See
table B and table 1.) Stock clerks and order fillers had the
most cases among office and administrative support workers
and nearly 60 percent (3,160) of the cases resulted in a job
transfer or restriction. Sixty-five percent of the cases occurring
to shipping, receiving, and traffic clerks resulted in days of
job transfer or restriction in 2013. Laborers and freight, stock,
and material movers incurred more than half (8,800) of the
injuries and illnesses to transportation and material moving
occupations. (See table B.) There were nearly an equal number
of days-of-job-transfer-or-restriction cases and days-awayfrom-work cases reported for laborers and freight, stock, and
material movers, with 4,640 cases and 4,160 case, respectively.
Nursing and residential care facilities
There were 55,780 injuries and illnesses that led to days of job
transfer or restriction in nursing and residential care facilities in
2013. This was about equal to those that led to days away from
work cases (54,980). The days-of-job-transfer-or-restriction
rate was 225.7 cases per 10,000 full-time workers in 2013,
8
essentially the same as reported in 2011 and 2012. In this
industry, workers experienced days of job transfer or restriction
for a median of 13 days (higher than the median of 12 days in
both 2011 and 2012). (See tables 1, 2, and 3.)
Sprains, strains, or tears were the leading injury or illness in
each of the 3 years spanning 2011 to 2013 for both job-transferor-restriction cases and days-away-from-work cases in nursing
and residential care facilities. In 2013, sprains, strains, or tears
resulted in a greater number of job-transfer-or-restriction cases
(32,020) than days-away-from-work cases (23,880). The
second leading injury or illness was soreness or pain. However,
in 2013, there were fewer cases resulting in days of job transfer
or restriction (10,030) than in days away from work (12,950).
Overexertion and bodily reaction was the leading event or
exposure that resulted in injury or illness for both job-transferor-restriction and days-away-from-work cases in nursing
and residential care facilities for the entire covered period
of the pilot study. (See table 1.) The second leading event or
exposure for both types of cases was falls, slips, or trips. In
2013, overexertion or bodily reaction cases resulted in a greater

number of job-transfer-or-restriction cases (29,720) than daysaway-from-work cases (22,470). However, falls, slips, or trips
resulted in fewer cases of days of job transfer or restriction
(10,350) than cases of days away from work (13,890).
From 2011 through 2013, the rate for musculoskeletal disorders
in nursing and residential care facilities was greater for daysof-job-transfer-or-restriction cases than for days-away-fromwork cases. For example, in 2011, the rate of musculoskeletal
disorders for days of job transfer or restriction was 115.9 cases
per 10,000 full-time workers compared with a rate of 101.9 for
days away from work. The rate of musculoskeletal disorders
for days-of-job-transfer-or-restriction cases essentially
remained the same from 2011 to 2013, while the rate of
musculoskeletal disorders for days-away-from-work cases
declined from 101.9 in 2011 to 88.4 in 2013.
Three-quarters of the days-away-from-work, restriction, or
transfer (DART) cases (82,840) in nursing and residential
care facilities occurred to workers in service occupations
in 2013. (See tables C and 1.) In this occupational group,
injuries and illnesses to nursing assistants accounted for 45
percent (50,230) of all cases in nursing and residential care
facilities. (See table C.) Of these cases, 54 percent resulted
in days-of-job-transfer-or-restriction cases. Personal care
aides had 8,570 cases, 47 percent (4,000) of which resulted
in days of job transfer or restriction. Healthcare practitioners
and technical occupations accounted for 13 percent (14,310)
of the total days-away-from-work, restriction, or transfer
cases in 2013. In this occupational group, licensed practical
and vocational nurses and registered nurses accounted for 37
percent of the 14,310 cases. There was an almost equal split
between injuries and illnesses that led to only days of job
transfer or restriction and those that resulted in days away
from work for licensed practical and vocational nurses.
Registered nurses had slightly more days-away-from-work
cases (1,820) than job-transfer-or-restriction cases (1,530).

1 Cases involving days away from work, restricted work activity, or job transfer (DART) are the sum of cases involving days away from work (DAFW) and cases with
restricted work activity or job transfer (DJTR).
2 Days-away-from-work cases include those that resulted in days away from work, some of which also included job transfer or restriction.
3 Includes cases involving only days of job transfer or restriction.
4 Musculoskeletal disorders include cases in which the nature of the injury or illness is pinched nerve; herniated disc; meniscus tear; sprains, strains, tears; hernia
(traumatic and nontraumatic); pain, swelling, and numbness; carpal or tarsal tunnel syndrome; Raynaud’s syndrome or phenomenon; musculoskeletal system and
connective tissue diseases and disorders, and when the event or exposure leading to the injury or illness is overexertion and bodily reaction, unspecified; overexertion
involving outside sources; repetitive motion involving microtasks; other and multiple exertions or bodily reactions; and rubbed, abraded, or jarred by vibration.
5 Information is not shown separately for injured workers under age 14; they accounted for less than or equal to 50 cases.
6 Race and ethnicity data do not add to total. Some cases may be counted as both multi-race and Hispanic and other race.
7 Standard Occupational Classification Manual, 2010, Office of Management and Budget.
Note: Dash indicates data do not meet publication guidelines. Because of rounding and data exclusion of nonclassifiable responses, data may not sum to the totals.
In January of 2012, the BLS Survey of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses (SOII) began to collect information on case circumstances and worker characteristics for
days-of-job-transfer-or-restriction (DJTR) cases. This supplemental information was part of a pilot study on days of job transfer or restriction. The pilot included six 3-digit
industries including: Specialty trade contractors; Food manufacturing; Building material and garden equipment supplies dealers; Air transportation; Warehousing and
storage; and Nursing and residential care facilities.

1 Cases involving days away from work, restricted work activity, or job transfer (DART) are the sum of cases involving days away from work (DAFW) and cases with
restricted work activity or job transfer (DJTR).
2 Days-away-from-work cases include those that resulted in days away from work, some of which also included job transfer or restriction.
3 Includes cases involving only days of job transfer or restriction.
4 Musculoskeletal disorders include cases in which the nature of the injury or illness is pinched nerve; herniated disc; meniscus tear; sprains, strains, tears; hernia
(traumatic and nontraumatic); pain, swelling, and numbness; carpal or tarsal tunnel syndrome; Raynaud’s syndrome or phenomenon; musculoskeletal system and
connective tissue diseases and disorders, and when the event or exposure leading to the injury or illness is overexertion and bodily reaction, unspecified; overexertion
involving outside sources; repetitive motion involving microtasks; other and multiple exertions or bodily reactions; and rubbed, abraded, or jarred by vibration.
Note: Dash indicates data do not meet publication guidelines. Because of rounding and data exclusion of nonclassifiable responses, data may not sum to the totals.
In January of 2012, the BLS Survey of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses (SOII) began to collect information on case circumstances and worker characteristics for
days-of-job-transfer-or-restriction (DJTR) cases. This supplemental information was part of a pilot study on days of job transfer or restriction. The pilot included six 3-digit
industries including: Specialty trade contractors; Food manufacturing; Building material and garden equipment supplies dealers; Air transportation; Warehousing and
storage; and Nursing and residential care facilities.
The incidence rates represent the number of injuries and illnesses per 10,000 full-time workers and were calculated as (N/EH) x 20,000,000, where
N = number of injuries and illnesses
EH = total hours worked by all employees during the calendar year
20,000,000 = base for 10,000 equivalent full-time workers
(working 40 hours per week, 50 weeks per year).

1 Musculoskeletal disorders include cases in which the nature of the injury or illness is pinched nerve; herniated disc; meniscus tear; sprains,
strains, tears; hernia (traumatic and nontraumatic); pain, swelling, and numbness; carpal or tarsal tunnel syndrome; Raynaud’s syndrome or
phenomenon; musculoskeletal system and connective tissue diseases and disorders, and when the event or exposure leading to the injury or
illness is overexertion and bodily reaction, unspecified; overexertion involving outside sources; repetitive motion involving microtasks; other and
multiple exertions or bodily reactions; and rubbed, abraded, or jarred by vibration.
2 Information is not shown separately for injured workers under age 14; they accounted for less than or equal to 50 cases.
3 Race and ethnicity data do not add to total. Some cases may be counted as both multi-race and Hispanic and other race.

Note: Dash indicates data do not meet publication guidelines. Because of rounding and data exclusion of nonclassifiable responses, data
may not sum to the totals.
In January of 2012, the BLS Survey of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses (SOII) began to collect information on case circumstances and
worker characteristics for days-of-job-transfer-or-restriction (DJTR) cases. This supplemental information was part of a pilot study on days of job
transfer or restriction. The pilot included six 3-digit industries including: Specialty trade contractors; Food manufacturing; Building material and
garden equipment supplies dealers; Air transportation; Warehousing and storage; and Nursing and residential care facilities.
Median days of job transfer or restrictionis the measure used to summarize the varying lengths of job transfer or restriction from work among
the cases with days of job transfer or restriction. Half the cases involved more days and half involved fewer days than a specified median. Median
days of job transfer or restriction are represented in actual values.

Technical Notes
Statistics of work-related injuries and illnesses provide
the detailed information needed to help make workplaces
safer for the nation’s workers. Researchers in government,
private industry, insurance, academia, public health, and
labor unions analyze trends in these data. They also study
the detailed circumstances of the injuries and illnesses
to assess the overall occupational safety and health of
workers and identify ways to reduce injuries and illnesses,
including potential changes in safety and health regulations
or programs. Individual establishments compare their rates
to those of their industry to benchmark their worker safety
and health performance. Other researchers analyze the data
to identify particular risks by occupation or event.
The estimates in this report were obtained from the Survey
of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses (SOII), a national
annual survey of roughly a quarter-million private-sector
establishments that provide a wide range of information
on the labor force and occupational injuries and illnesses.
National occupational safety and health statistics are a
basic measure of the risks that the nation’s workers and
establishments take in producing goods and providing
services.
The SOII provides information by industry, worker
characteristics, and the circumstances of the injury or
illness. The survey estimates injury and illness counts
and incidence rates by nature of injury or illness, event
or exposure, industry, occupation, gender, and age for the
nation and participating states, among other categories.
These estimates cover private industry and state and local
government workers.
Six industry subsectors were selected for this pilot study.
Industry subsectors were selected based on their daysof-job-transfer-or-restriction incidence rate (and to some
degree the number of cases) in years before the pilot
study. Some industries were selected if the days-of-jobtransfer-or-restriction incidence rate was greater than
or equal to the days-away-from-work incidence rate in
the respective industry. (See table D.) For example, the

2008 rate for cases of days of job transfer or restriction
was greater or equal to the rate for days-away-from-work
cases in food manufacturing, building material and garden
equipment and supplies dealers, warehousing and storage,
and residential care and nursing facilities. Specialty trade
contractors and air transportation were selected to provide
contrast in the data for which the rates for job-transfer or
work-restriction cases were lower than the rates for daysaway-from-work cases.
Concepts and definitions
The principal concepts and definitions used in connection
with the BLS occupational safety and health data in
this report are described briefly below. In fact, many of
the concepts originate from the Department of Labor
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)
and are used for the BLS Survey of Occupational Injuries
and Illnesses (SOII). OSHA requires employers in highrisk industries to record injuries and illnesses each year
according to OSHA recordkeeping guidelines at http://
www.osha.gov/recordkeeping/index.html. Employers in
other industries are required to record injuries and illnesses
when the Department of Labor notifies them to do so. BLS
collects data from a sample that includes employers from
both high risk industries and others to provide estimates on
occupational injuries and illnesses in the workplace.
Recordable case. Nonfatal recordable workplace injuries
and illnesses are those that result in any one or more of the
following:
• Days away from work
• Restricted work activity or job transfer
• Medical treatment beyond first aid
• Loss of consciousness
In addition to these four criteria, employers must also
record any significant work-related injuries or illnesses that
are diagnosed by a physician or other licensed healthcare
professional or other instances that meet additional criteria
discussed below. Significant work-related injuries or
illnesses include cancers, chronic irreversible diseases,
50
fractured or cracked bones (including teeth), or punctured
eardrums. Additional cases that must be recorded as
workplace injuries or illnesses include the following:
• Any needle stick injury or cut from a sharp object
that is contaminated with another person’s blood or
other potentially infectious material
• Any case requiring an employee to be medically
removed under the requirements of an OSHA health
standard
• Tuberculosis infection as evidenced by a positive
skin test or diagnosis by a physician or other licensed
healthcare professional after exposure to a known case
of active tuberculosis
• An employee’s hearing test (audiogram) reveals that
the employee has experienced a Standard Threshold
Shift (STS) in hearing in one or both ears (averaged
at 2kHz, 3kHz, and 4kHz) and the employee’s total
hearing level is 25 decibels (dB) or more above
audiometric zero (also averaged at 2kHz, 3kHz, and
4kHz) in the same ear(s) as the STS
Additional details regarding recordability of nonfatal workrelated injuries and illnesses can be found in the OSHA
Recordkeeping Handbook.
Occupational injury is any injury, such as a cut, fracture,
sprain, or amputation that results from a work-related
incident or from a single instantaneous exposure in the
work environment.
Occupational illness is any abnormal condition or disorder
caused by exposure to factors associated with employment,
other than those resulting from an instantaneous event or
exposure. It includes acute and chronic illnesses or diseases
that may be caused by inhalation, absorption, ingestion, or
direct contact.
Days away from work (DAFW). Injuries or illnesses for
which employees used days away from work (beyond
the day of injury or onset of illness) to recover from an
occupational injury or illness. The number of days away
from work is determined by the number of calendar days
after the date of the injury or illness, before an employee

J O B - T R A N S F E R O R W O R K - R E S T R I C T I O N C A S E S , 2 0 11 – 2 0 1 3
returns to work. These cases may include days of job
transfer or restricted work activity in addition to days away
from work. For example, an employee suffers a workrelated injury resulting in 5 days away from work and
upon returning to work, the employee is unable to perform
normal duties associated with the job for an additional 3
days (i.e., the employee was on restricted work activity).
This case would be recorded as a days-away-from-work
case with 5 days away from work and 3 days of restricted
work activity. It would not be recorded as days-of-jobtransfer-or-restriction case.
Days of job transfer or restriction (DJTR). Days-of-jobtransfer-or-restriction cases are those injuries and illnesses
which result only in job transfer or restricted work activity
without days away from work. This occurs when, as the
result of a work-related injury or illness, an employer or
healthcare professional recommends keeping an employee
from doing the routine functions of his or her job or
from working the full workday that the employee would
have been scheduled to work before the injury or illness
occurred. This may include the following instances:
• An employee is assigned to another job on a
temporary basis
• An employee works at a permanent job less than full
time
• An employee works at a permanently assigned job
but is unable to perform all duties normally
connected with it
Days away from work, restriction, job transfer (DART).
These are injuries or illnesses that involve days away from
work (beyond the day of injury or onset of illness), or days
of job transfer or restricted work activity, or both.
Case circumstances. Employers record narrative
descriptions about the detailed circumstances of each
nonfatal occupational injury or illness on OSHA case
forms. This information for days away from work is then
reported to the SOII. The narrative descriptions are then
coded using definitions and rules of selection stipulated
in the BLS Occupational Injury and Illness Classification
System (OIICS) manual (http://www.bls.gov/iif/oshoiics.
htm). The following case circumstances describe these
injuries and illnesses from different perspectives:
Nature of injury or illness names the principal physical
characteristic of a disabling condition, such as sprain/
strain, cut/laceration, or carpal tunnel syndrome.
Part of body affected is directly linked to the nature of
injury or illness cited, for example, back sprain, finger
cut, or wrist pain and carpal tunnel syndrome.
Source and secondary source of injury or illness
identify the objects, substances, equipment, and other
factors that were responsible for the injury or illness
incurred by the worker or that precipitated the event or
exposure. Examples are a heavy box, a toxic substance,
fire/flame, and bodily motion of injured or ill worker.
Event or exposure signifies the manner in which the
injury or illness was produced or inflicted, such as
overexertion while lifting or fall from ladder.
Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) include cases for
which the nature of the injury or illness is a pinched
nerve; herniated disc; meniscus tear; sprains, strains,
tears; hernia (traumatic and non-traumatic); pain,
swelling, and numbness; carpal or tarsal tunnel
syndrome; Raynaud's syndrome or phenomenon;
musculoskeletal system and connective tissue diseases
and disorders, when the event or exposure leading to
the injury or illness is overexertion and bodily reaction,
unspecified; overexertion involving outside sources;
repetitive motion involving microtasks; other and
multiple exertions or bodily reactions; and rubbed,
abraded, or jarred by vibration.
Other case circumstances include the following:
• Day of the week the incident occurred
• Time of day the incident occurred
• Hours of work before the incident occurred
Median days away from work is the measure used to
summarize the varying lengths of absences from work
among the cases with days away from work. Half the cases
involved more days and half involved less days than a
specified median.

Median days of job transfer or restriction is the measure
used to summarize the varying number of days in job
transfer or restriction. Half the cases involved more days
and half involved less days than a specified median.
OSHA recordkeeping change. Effective January 1, 2002,
OSHA revised its requirements for recording occupational
injuries and illnesses. Details about the revised requirements,
including a summary of the revisions and a comparison
between the old and new requirements, are available at
http://www.osha.gov/recordkeeping/index.html or from
OSHA’s Office of Public Affairs at 202-693-1999.
These changes in OSHA recordkeeping rules resulted in
changes to BLS occupational injury and illness statistics.
Beginning with 2002 data and for subsequent years, BLS
occupational injury and illness data are not comparable to
previous years. For example, the new rules affected how
employers recorded recurring injuries or illnesses, cases
involving needle sticks, and which days to count. Further
discussion on this topic can be found in “Occupational safety
and health statistics: new data for a new century” by
William J. Wiatrowski, Monthly Labor Review, October 2005.
Duration of this study. This release of data for 2011 to 2013
concludes the pilot study on collecting and disseminating
data on case circumstances and worker characteristics
for days of job transfer or restriction for the selected six
industries. This study will continue for 2014 data for a new
set of industries that include:
52
•
Beverage and tobacco product manufacturing
•
General merchandise stores
•
Couriers and messengers
•
Waste management and remediation services
•
Hospitals
•
Accommodation
Background information on a historical perspective of
collecting days of job transfer or restriction data can be
found in the article “Restricted work due to workplace
injuries: a historical perspective” by John W. Ruser and
William J. Wiatrowski, Monthly Labor Review, March
2013. Additional details about the survey methodology can
be found in the “Occupational Safety and Health Statistics”
chapter of the BLS Handbook of Methods:
