Cooperative Agreement Award Summary

The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) awarded $226,981.50 to Oregon's Department of Consumer & Business Services under the Compensation and Working Conditions program (CFDA 17.005) effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026. This cooperative agreement funds Oregon's participation in the national occupational safety and health statistics program established under Section 24 of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970. The state agency will conduct surveys of work-related injuries and illnesses, administer the Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries, and collect comprehensive data on employee compensation and workplace hazards affecting Oregon's workforce.

The products and services delivered through this award include the collection, analysis, and publication of occupational safety and health statistics that inform employers, policymakers, workers, and the general public about workplace injury patterns, illness trends, and fatality data. These statistical outputs contribute to national and state-level workforce safety metrics while enabling evidence-based decision-making on occupational safety improvements. The program operates on a cost-sharing basis whereby the state maintains direct responsibility for survey administration, data analysis, and publication activities in accordance with federal audit and administrative requirements.
