This publication breaks down data and analysis into three groups occupational, motor vehicle, and home and community. Also the publication now reports information on intentional injuries, such as assaults and self-harm. Data come from a variety of sources.

The National Safety Council has embarked on a program to eliminate, as far as possible, the word accident from their vocabulary. Their annual publication Accident Facts, will now be titled. Injury Facts. If management places a focus on the root causes of an injury in the workplace, the word accident should not be used. This way of thinking may take years to modify, but the effort may well be beneficial to all of industry—both management and labor.
