This manual contains the rules of selection, code descriptions, code titles, and indices for the following code structures: Nature of Injury or Illness Part of Body Affected Source of Injury or Illness/Secondary Source of Injury or Illness Event or Exposure The Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Classification Structure Team developed the original Occupational Injury and Illness Classification System (OIICS) with input from data users and States participating in the BLS Occupational Safety and Health Statistics (OSHS) Federal/State cooperative programs. The original system was released in December 1992. It was approved for use as the American National Standard for Information Management for Occupational Safety and Health in 1995 (ANSI Z16.2—1995). In September 2007, OSHS staff updated the 1992 OIICS Manual to incorporate various interpretations and corrections. Version 2.0, dated September 2010, is the first major revision since the 1992 manual. In developing this manual, BLS sought input from many interested parties. In February 2008, a Federal Register Notice on the proposed change to the manual was issued. In addition, the OIICS Revision Team sent out numerous letters and e-mails to users. Based on the initial comments received and other information, the team developed a draft 2010 manual that was disseminated to interested parties in April 2010. The team considered comments received, made revisions, and completed the final manual in September 2010. Here are some highlights of the differences between version 2.0 and previous versions of the manual. Numerous categories have been added, deleted, or modified. All codes begin with 1 through 9; that is, no codes begin with 0. This change was undertaken to facilitate the use of OIICS codes in computer systems, and resulted in very few categories having the same code as in the previous manual. In the Event category, codes are arranged in order of precedence. This facilitates coding when more than one Event category applies. The rules of selection for Source and Secondary Source are now specific to the Event. *-Asterisks denote a summary level code not assigned to individual cases. _____________________________________________________________________________________________ 01/12 4 This manual consists of four sections. Section 1 is the table of contents and this introduction. Section 2 contains the definitions, rules of selection, and descriptions for Nature, Part, Source, and Event. Section 3 contains title lists for each of the four OIICS components. Section 4 contains indices for each component. The OIICS Revision Team developed this manual. The members of the team include the following BLS employees: Gail E. Barnett Joyce M. Northwood Carl B. Barsky Tiffany M. Pinkney Brad Farrell Eric F. Sygnatur Linda Garris Katherine Taylor-Shirley Andrew D. Marsh Janice A. Windau Version 2.01 dated January 2012, and annotated with 01/12 at the bottom of the page, is a minor update to version 2.0. It corrects some errors and incorporates some clarifications to the version issued in September 2010. Scott Curtin and Andrew Kato assisted with this version. *-Asterisks denote a summary level code not assigned to individual cases. _____________________________________________________________________________________________ 01/12 5 SECTION 2 Definitions, Rules of Selection, and Titles and Descriptions SECTION CONTENTS 2.1 Nature of Injury or Illness 2.2 Part of Body Affected 2.3 Source and Secondary Source of Injury or Illness 2.4 Event or Exposure *-Asterisks denote a summary level code not assigned to individual cases. _____________________________________________________________________________________________ 01/12 6 SECTION 2.1 Nature of Injury or Illness SECTION CONTENTS 2.1.1 Definition, Rules of Selection 2.1.2 Titles and Descriptions *-Asterisks denote a summary level code not assigned to individual cases. _____________________________________________________________________________________________ 01/12 7 2.1.1 Nature of Injury or Illness—Definition, Rules of Selection 1.0 DEFINITION The nature of injury or illness identifies the principal physical characteristic(s) of the work related injury or illness. RULES OF SELECTION: 1.1 Name the injury or illness indicated on the source document. Example: For strained back, choose Strains. 1.2 When two or more injuries or illnesses are indicated, and one is a sequela, aftereffect, complication due to medical treatment, or re-injury, choose the initial injury or illness. Example: If a laceration became infected developing into septicemia, choose Cuts, lacerations. 1.3 When two or more injuries or illnesses are indicated and one is more severe than the other(s) and is not a sequela or complication of the other injury or illness, select the more severe injury or illness. Example: For sprained finger and fractured wrist, choose Fractures. 1.3.1 When a single event or exposure produces an injury and transmits a disease simultaneously, and one is more severe than the other(s), select the more severe injury or disease. Example: If a needlestick produces a puncture wound and transmits serum hepatitis, choose Type B viral hepatitis (serum hepatitis) 1.4 When two or more injuries or illnesses are indicated but neither of which can be determined as being more severe than the others, select the appropriate multiple injuries or illnesses classification code. Example: For fractured and severely burned left leg, choose Fractures and burns. *-Asterisks denote a summary level code not assigned to individual cases. _____________________________________________________________________________________________ 01/12 8 2.1.2 Nature of Injury or Illness—Titles and Descriptions The Nature of Injury or Illness code structure is arranged so that traumatic injuries and disorders are listed first (in Division 1) while diseases are listed in Divisions 2 through 6. The Nature of Injury or Illness divisions are arranged as follows: DIVISION TITLE 1 Traumatic Injuries and Disorders 2 Systemic Diseases and Disorders 3 Infectious and Parasitic Diseases 4 Neoplasms, Tumors, and Cancers 5 Symptoms, Signs, and Ill-defined Conditions 6 Other Diseases, Conditions, and Disorders 7 Exposures to Disease—No Illness Incurred 8 Multiple Diseases, Conditions, and Disorders 9999 Nonclassifiable *-Asterisks denote a summary level code not assigned to individual cases. _____________________________________________________________________________________________ 01/12 9 NATURE 1* TRAUMATIC INJURIES AND DISORDERS This division classifies traumatic injuries and disorders, acute effects of external agents, and acute poisoning and toxic effects. Generally, a traumatic injury or disorder is the result of a single incident, event, or exposure over the course of a single shift. Cases coded to this division need not be consistent with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) recordkeeping definition of an injury or whether the employer reported the case as an injury or illness on the OSHA log. 10 Traumatic injuries and disorders, unspecified This code classifies traumatic injuries and disorders when the only information available describes the incident as traumatic. For example, nature would be coded as 10 if all that is known about the injury is that the employee was hurt in car accident. This code is also used for hip and joint replacements or other medical procedures when the initial injury is not specified. It includes nonfatal blunt force trauma and fatal blunt force trauma when the part of body is unknown. Damage to existing prosthetic

  • Spider Bites
    Infectious Disease Epidemiology Section Office of Public Health, Louisiana Dept of Health & Hospitals 800-256-2748 (24 hr number) www.infectiousdisease.dhh.louisiana.gov SPIDER BITES Revised 6/13/2007 Epidemiology There are over 3,000 species of spiders native to the United States. Due to fragility or inadequate length of fangs, only a limited number of species are capable of inflicting noticeable wounds on human beings, although several small species of spiders are able to bite humans, but with little or no demonstrable effect. The final determination of etiology of 80% of suspected spider bites in the U.S. is, in fact, an alternate diagnosis. Therefore the perceived risk of spider bites far exceeds actual risk. Tick bites, chemical burns, lesions from poison ivy or oak, cutaneous anthrax, diabetic ulcer, erythema migrans from Lyme disease, erythema from Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, sporotrichosis, Staphylococcus infections, Stephens Johnson syndrome, syphilitic chancre, thromboembolic effects of Leishmaniasis, toxic epidermal necrolyis, shingles, early chicken pox lesions, bites from other arthropods and idiopathic dermal necrosis have all been misdiagnosed as spider bites. Almost all bites from spiders are inflicted by the spider in self defense, when a human inadvertently upsets or invades the spider’s space. Of spiders in the United States capable of biting, only a few are considered dangerous to human beings. Bites from the following species of spiders can result in serious sequelae: Louisiana Office of Public Health – Infectious Disease Epidemiology Section Page 1 of 14 The Brown Recluse: Loxosceles reclusa Photo Courtesy of the Texas Department of State Health Services The most common species associated with medically important spider bites: • Physical characteristics o Length: Approximately 1 inch o Appearance: A violin shaped mark can be visualized on the dorsum (top).

  • Sports Injuries
    Sports Injuries Lacrosse Lacrosse is America’s oldest game. It can be dated back to the Native Americans, and was used astraining for war. It is both played by boys and girls,however, some rules are drastically different between genders. Nonetheless, the combination of contact, a stick, a hard ball, and quick changes of direction, puts lacrosse players at risk for injury. Protective Equipment There is a wide range of equipment that lacrosse players wear. For girls, goggles and mouth pieces are mandatory. Lightweight gloves and headgear is optional. For boys, helmets with full face guards, shoulder pads, padded gloves, and mouth pieces are used. It is most important for this equipment to fit properly. If equipment does not fit properly it can actually cause injury. There is no helmet which has been proven through research that confused with a “dislocated shoulder,” which is when prevents concussions. the shoulder comes out of socket. Dislocated shoulders What are the most common types are not common in lacrosse. of lacrosse injuries? Concussions Contusions Concussions are quite common in lacrosse.

  • Continental Slope Communities Tom Laidig
    Continental Slope Communities Tom Laidig Summary and Introduction In the shallow coastal areas of the Gulf of the Farallones, as in other regions of the world, fishing pressure has increased and numbers of fish have decreased over the past few decades. As many fish stocks have declined, some fishermen have been forced to look elsewhere to fill their nets. Traditional fishing grounds in the gulf have been located on the Continental Shelf, a rather flat, relatively shallow area of the sea floor adjacent to the coast. At a depth of about 200 m (660 ft), the bottom starts to drop off more rapidly on what is called the Continental Slope. It is on upper and middle parts of this steeper slope that the new fishing grounds have been established. Because the fish inhabiting these deeper waters are less understood than those in shallower water, there is a danger of overharvesting, which could threaten the long- term viability of these newer fisheries. The deep waters of the Continental Slope are characterized by nearly freezing temperatures, extremely low light conditions, and very high pressures. Because of the cold, organisms that live at these depths have slower metabolisms—they eat less frequently, are slower in digesting their food, and move and grow more slowly. They also attain greater ages than their counterparts that live in shallower waters—some deep-sea rockfish live more than 70 years. Many of the animals living in the perpetual darkness of the Continental Slope have developed light-producing organs. These serve various functions, such as communicating with members of their own kind (as in courtship), attracting food (like attracting moths to a flame), and avoiding being eaten (flashing a light in a predator’s eyes can give an animal a chance to get away).

  • Arthropod Envenomations: Immunologic and Toxicologic Considerations Cyrus Rangan, MD, FAAP, ACMT
    Emergency Department Evaluation and Treatment for Children With Arthropod Envenomations: Immunologic and Toxicologic Considerations Cyrus Rangan, MD, FAAP, ACMT Arthropod envenomations are a significant cause of environmental injury in children. Bees, wasps, and spiders inflict injury via specialized venoms with a broad range of components, mechanisms, and potential treatments. Immunologic and toxicologic considerations in the evaluation and management of arthropod envenomations are important for the under- standing of the progression of envenomations, prompt diagnosis of severe conditions including anaphylaxis, and the use of antivenom in selected cases.

  • A Chemical War Without End: Agent Orange in Vietnam
    A Chemical War without End: Agent Orange in Vietnam Marie-Hélène Lavallard* The Vietnam War (1961-1975) is known for the massive bombings of North Vietnam. More insidious, however, yet less well-known to the general public, was the chemical war waged from 1961 to 1971against South Vietnam. An immense environmental disaster and a human catastrophe taking numerous forms: health, economic, socio-cultural …, it had dramatic consequences which are still felt today. The American government and the chemical companies involved have eluded their responsibilities. For years, a conspiracy of silence has obscured the toxicity of the defoliants used. Those responsible have the effrontery to continue denying it today. Humanitarian aid is incommensurate with the needs. It is at the government level that support for Vietnam must be organized and the demand for just reparations must be made. During the Vietnam War, from 1961 to 1971, American aviation sprayed defoliants over Southern Vietnam to chase from the jungle the combatants taking shelter there, to cut the Ho Chi Minh trail by which weapons, supplies and medication came down from the North, to facilitate surveillance of roads, coastlines and waterways and to destroy the rice paddies, forcing villagers into "strategic hamlets" and thus depriving the guerillas of food and aid1. More than 77 million2 liters of defoliants were released by plane (95%), by helicopter, by boat, by tanker truck, and by men with backpack sprayers. More than 2,500,000 hectares were contaminated by these defoliants, the best known of which is Agent Orange. It contains dioxin, one of the most violent and most indestructible poisons known.
