Vertical IQ has taken a significant step forward in industry intelligence by integrating Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) data into its Industry Profiles. This enhancement provides users with detailed insights into workplace safety, including injury and illness incidence rates across various industries, sourced from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). The data, organized by North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes, is a result of the BLS's Injuries, Illnesses and Fatalities (IIF) program, encompassing the annual Survey of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses (SOII) and the Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries (CFOI).
The new 'Occupational Safety' chapter within Vertical IQ's full Industry Profiles is structured into three main sections: Recordable Cases, Cases With Days Away From Work, and Cases With Job Restriction or Transfer. These sections offer year-to-year comparisons of industry-specific rates against national averages, presenting a comprehensive overview of workplace safety trends. This feature is particularly beneficial for professionals in insurance, banking, and risk management, enabling them to make more informed decisions and tailor their services more effectively to client needs.
Courtney Farfour of Vertical IQ highlighted the company's dedication to enhancing its offerings based on customer feedback and the importance of incorporating reliable third-party data. The addition of BLS statistics reinforces Vertical IQ's reputation as a source of accurate and dependable industry intelligence. Jesse Walker, Vice President of CRM and Sales Success at EPIC Insurance Brokers and Consultants, praised the new feature for its ability to provide industry-specific OSHA risk levels compared to national averages, facilitating better risk assessment and client advice.
With coverage of over 560 distinct industries, 3,400 local economies, and more than 97 percent of the U.S. and Canadian economies, Vertical IQ's platform, now enriched with OSHA data, serves as a powerful tool for understanding industry-specific challenges and trends. This integration marks a pivotal development in industry intelligence, offering professionals a deeper understanding of workplace safety issues to assess risks, customize services, and make informed decisions more effectively.
