ST. PAUL, Minn. – The rate of workplace injury and illness in Minnesota has fallen substantially but still remains above the national average. The Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry says the annual Survey of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses found the state had an estimated 2.9 OSHA-recordable, nonfatal, workplace injuries and illnesses per 100 full-time-equivalent (FTE) workers in 2023. That’s down sharply from 3.8 cases per 100 FTE workers in 2022.
