For members of the workers’ compensation bar, insurers, physicians, expert witnesses and anyone else who spends most their time in the Pennsylvania workers’ compensation universe, the Pennsylvania Department of Labor & Industry, Bureau of Workers’ Compensation’s Pennsylvania Workers’ Compensation and Workplace Safety Annual Report is a must-read. The report’s statistics about the bureau’s operations are interesting, but the statistics about the injuries Pennsylvania workers suffered on the job and the demographics of those workers gives readers an opportunity to see and infer trends in the workplace that would have otherwise been impossible to glean given the nature of that data.
