This cooperative agreement funds the collection, analysis, and publication of occupational safety and health statistics pursuant to Section 24 of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970. The awardee will conduct surveys of occupational injuries and illnesses and censuses of fatal occupational injuries to generate critical state and national-level workforce safety metrics.

The statistical products and services delivered through this funding enable employers and policymakers to focus workplace safety and health efforts while providing workers with information about occupational hazards. The cooperative agreement operates on a cost-sharing basis, with the state and federal government jointly funding the statistical program. This recurring annual award is part of BLS's established funding relationships with multiple state agencies to systematically collect and publish comprehensive occupational safety and health data that informs evidence-based decision-making across the public and private sectors.
