SUBJECT: Central Intelligence Agency l Report
of Accident Analyses - 1980
1. Action Requested: None; for information only
2. Background: The Safety Group has prepared the ed
Annual Report of Accident Analyses for your information
As indicated in the summary on page 4, the incidence
rate (IR), the yardstick used by the Department of Labor,
decreased from 2.2 for 1979 to 2.1 for 1980. The IR was also 2.1
for 1978. (The IR is the number of injuries and illnesses,
excluding first aid, per 200,000 employee hours worked.) The IR
for t ral Government for 1980 is 6.4 compared to 6.7 for
1979
The summary also reflects that nonfatal and lost
workday cases decreased by 5 and 15 respectively. The resulting
lost workdays and restricted activity workdays also decreased
from an average of 61/2 days to 51/2 days per case, an indication
that the overall accidents were not as serious as in the past.
The two most serious injuries were the results of a fall in the
Headquarters compound and using a paper cutter in the Printing
and Photography Building. These two injuries resulttotal
of 126 days lost and 171 days of restricted activity.) I
The special analyses section on page 7 indicates that
the major cause of injuries continued to be slips and falls which
accounted for 37 percent of the lost workday and nonfatal
injuries. The total of these injuries increased from 89 to
106. Slips and falls are being singled out for special
attention. These accidents will be reviewed for causative
factors and corrective actions will be coordinated through the
appropriate officials. Causes of slips and falls will receive
special emphasis during safety inspections and distribution of
educational Rosters and literature to Agency employees will be
stressed

It is pleasing to note that fire losses were at a
minimum, $6,000.00. This loss was the result of an automobile
fire. The loss from motor vehicle accidents was $24,212.05, an
increase of $9,431.82 over the previous year. The fire and motor
vehicle losses do not include those incurred as a direct result
of hostile action overseas.
