2004 HAWAII REPORTED INJURIES AND ILLNESSES

In 2004, the number of reported injuries and illnesses decreased by 2,347 cases or 8.2% to 26,321, while employment increased by 3% to 553,800. All industries, except for management of companies and enterprises, and administrative support and waste management showed decreases in the number of reported cases between -0.2 percent and -18 percent. The information and utilities industries had a decrease of one case each with the lowest percent change over-the-year at -0.2 and -0.6 respectively. Finance, insurance, real estate, rent and leasing had the largest percentage decrease at –18 percent, dropping by 155 cases to 704. Eight industries had decreases of more than 100 reported cases. Of these, public administration had the largest decrease of approximately 550 cases. However, they also had the highest number of cases for 2004, with approximately 4,500 cases, or 17 percent of the total reported cases.

Most industries showed an improvement in the frequency of injury or illness. This was due to

increasing employment coupled with the decrease in the number of reported injuries and illnesses in 2004. Although management of companies and enterprises had the lowest frequency with one injury for every seventy-two workers, they were the only industry to show an increase in frequency of work related injuries and illnesses compared to their previous year’s 1 in 90 frequency. Finance, insurance, real estate, rent and leasing showed the most improvement in frequency among the industries. Last year they had a frequency of 1 in 33 and in 2004 they had 1 injury for every 41 workers.

TECHNICAL NOTES The Workers’ Compensation Data Book is based on the annual accumulation of data in the State of Hawaii, Disability Compensation database. 1. The following coding systems and locally revised versions were used to categorize data:

a) Industrial attachment is determined by the principal activity of the employer as defined in the North American Industry Classification System 2002 (NAICS). The new NAICS industry groupings better reflect the workings of the U.S. economy, particularly in the services sector. NAICS, developed using a production oriented conceptual framework, groups establishments into industries based on the activity in which they are primarily engaged. It is not an update of the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) system. NAICS focuses on how products and services are created. More information on NAICS is available at the U.S. Census Bureau website at http://www.census.gov/epcd/www/naics.html.

b) Codes and definitions used to categorize Nature of Injury or Illness, Part of Body Affected, Source of Injury or Illness, and Event or Exposure were modeled after the 1992 Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Occupational Injury and Illness Classification Structures (OIICS). Starting with 1996 data, BLS OIICS data codes were locally modified to 2 digits instead of 4 digits, making the data less detailed.

c) Occupational groups are based on the 1990 Alphabetical Index of Industries and Occupations, developed and published by the Bureau of the Census, Washington, D.C., U.S. Government Printing Office. Starting with 1996 data, the occupation classifications were locally modified, making the data less detailed.

2. From 1999, the employment data source used in the Worker’s Compensation Data Book has been changed.

Instead of the Labor Force Data Book employment we are using the Employment and Payrolls in Hawaii statistics. Employment data from the later publication may be more in line with workers covered under the Workers’ Compensation program. Caution should be taken when reviewing the employment and frequency data for trend analysis prior to 1999.

3. From 2000, the table Hearings and Decisions Issued (previously called Compensation Orders Issued and

Number of Hearings) has changed to include Act 59 settlements and attorney fees. The combined category Permanent Partial & Disfigurement no longer exists. Figures are reported under the category with the highest severity. For example: a case with disability payments and disfigurement award would be counted in the disability category and not in disfigurement.

4. Beginning with the 2002 Workers’ Compensation Data Book, there is a new format for the Industry category.

The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) is being used to designate the different industries instead of the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) system. For trend analysis purposes, the data may not be comparable.

5. Effective with the 2004 Workers’ Compensation Data Book, the close date to process a “reported case” for

the preceding calendar year was changed from January 31 to December 31 to accommodate the filing of electronic “WC-1 Employers Report of Industrial Injury”. For trend analysis purposes, the data for 2004 may not be comparable.
