Evaluating Injury and Illness Trends in Federal and Postal Service Employees Using Workers' Compensation Claims Data 2007-2022.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to understand federal workplace injury/illness trends.
Methods: Over 1.5 million federal and Postal Service employee workers' compensation (WC) claims from 2007 to 2022 were linked to employment data and analyzed.
Results: From 2007 to 2019, Falls, Slips, Trips represented the highest proportion of claims (30.7%), followed by Overexertion and Bodily Reaction (24.4%), Unclassified (16.4%), Contact with Objects and Equipment (13.1%), Violence and Other Injuries by Persons or Animals (8.8%), Transportation Incidents (4.0%), Exposure to Harmful Substances or Environments (2.5%), and Fires and Explosions (0.24%).From 2020 to 2022, COVID-19 drove a major shift to Exposure to Harmful Substances or Environments representing the highest proportion of claims (44.3%).
Conclusions: Claims data represent a potentially rich data source that employing agencies can use to focus prevention and treatment of injury/illness.
