Vertical IQ has announced the integration of Occupational Safety and Health Administration data into its comprehensive Industry Profiles, marking a significant enhancement to its Industry Intelligence platform. The newly incorporated OSHA data, sourced from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, offers insights into the incidence rates of injuries and illnesses within specific industries organized by North American Industry Classification System codes. This information is collected through the BLS's Injuries, Illnesses and Fatalities program, which includes the annual Survey of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses and the Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries.
Vertical IQ has introduced a new Occupational Safety chapter in each of its full Industry Profiles to present this data effectively. The chapter is divided into three key sections: Recordable Cases, Cases With Days Away From Work, and Cases With Job Restriction or Transfer. Each section provides year-to-year comparisons of industry-specific rates against national averages, offering a comprehensive view of workplace safety trends. This enhancement has significant implications for various sectors, particularly insurance, banking, and risk management, allowing professionals in these fields to make more informed decisions and provide better-tailored services to their clients.
Courtney Farfour from Vertical IQ emphasized the company's commitment to continually improving their offerings based on customer feedback and the importance of reliable third-party data. The inclusion of BLS statistics further solidifies Vertical IQ's position as a provider of accurate and dependable industry intelligence. The value of this new feature is highlighted by Jesse Walker, Vice President of CRM and Sales Success at EPIC Insurance Brokers and Consultants, who noted that access to industry-specific OSHA risk levels compared to national averages enables better evaluation of potential exposures and more informed advice to clients.
This capability positions users of Vertical IQ's platform as trusted advisors with insights backed by quantifiable data. Vertical IQ's expanded offering now covers more than 560 distinct industries, 3,400 local economies, and over 97 percent of the U.S. economy and Canada. This extensive coverage, combined with the new OSHA data, provides users with a powerful tool for understanding industry-specific challenges and trends. The integration represents a significant development in the field of Industry Intelligence, offering professionals across various sectors a more nuanced understanding of workplace safety issues.
This enhancement enables users to better assess risks, tailor their services, and make informed decisions while further solidifying Vertical IQ's position as a leading provider of comprehensive industry insights.
