MEMORANDUM FOR: Deputy Director of Central Intelligence
FROM John F. Blake
Deputy Director for Administration
1]2?JA4)i. -70L-/ 6
SUBJECT Annual Report of Accident Analyses
1. The Occupational Safety and Health Act levies a
requirement that the head of each agency be made aware of
the total accident and injury experience for the agency
for each calendar year.
2. There is attached for your review a comprehensive
report on this matter prepared by the Office of Security. I
would suggest you concentrate on the "Summary", "Special
Analyses", and chart "Incidence Rates". Paper clips have
been inserted at those three places for your convenience.
3. By way of commentary, I would draw your attention
to the last document mentioned, "Incidence Rates". I believe
we find ourselves, on a comparative basis, in a fairly favor-
able position. While we are basically a "white collar" agency,
we do have extensive engineering, hardware, and maintenance
responsibilities on a world-wide basis. Such positions are
sometimes "accident prone". Our rate, therefore, is expectedly
lesser than NASA and the federal government as a whole, but
greater than the Department of State and the Department of
Labor. You might be interested in looking at where the U.S.
Civil Service Commission stands. My own off-hand explanation
is their high rate is attained by tripping over red tape.

1. I paperclipped some of the inter-
esting data on this Annual Report of
Accident Analyses. The chart on page 18
is nteresting and again shows that CIA
is worse than some agencies and better
than some agencies. It certainly appears
to be much better than the overall
Federal Government agency.
2. How do you propose to brief the
Director on this report? A copy of last
year's report to the DCI is attached.

MEMORANDUM FOR: Deputy Director for Administration
Acting Director of Security
SUBJECT Central Intelligence Agency
Annual Report of Accident
Analyses - 1975
1. Action Requested: It is requested that you brief
the Director o Central Intelligence on the occupational
accidents, fires, injuries and illnesses that occurred in
the Agency in 1975.
2. Basic Data: The Occupational Safety and Health
Report of the Central Intelligence Agency's Safety Program
submitted to the Secretary of Labor 26 March 1976 advised
that a comprehensive report on the total accident and in-
jury experience is prepared annually for the Director of
Central Intelligence.
3. Staff Position: The Safety. Branch has prepared
this report based on accidents., fires, injuries and illnesses
defined, reported and recorded in accordance with the Occu-
pational Safety and Health Act. A summary is contained on
Page 4 of the report. You will note from Page 4 that the
Incidence Rate for occupational injuries and illnesses in-
curred by CIA employees increased from 1.7 to 1.9; however,
this compares favorably with the Incidence Rate for the
Federal Government which increased from 4.4 to 5.7. The
cost figure increment is largely a function of claims of
$818,438 for two deaths.
