| Sumario: | The article discusses restricted work due to workplace injuries. It states that the proportion of all nonfatal workplace injuries and illnesses in the U. S. that resulted in job transfer, that is the injured worker continued to be at work but performed a different set of duties or restricted work or does less strenuous duties, has grown steadily over the past several decades. Fatal work injuries, while recordable under U. S. Occupational Safety & Health Administration(OSHA) rules, are tabulated separately by the Bureau through the annual Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries and it is classified in three categories which include cases with days away from work, cases with only job transfer or those with neither days away from work nor days of job transfer.
