Commitment: Full Time
Workplace Type: remote
ERG is seeking curious, detail-oriented analysts to support national occupational safety and health programs by analyzing and classifying real-world workplace injury and illness data. Your work directly supports the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) efforts to understand injury and illness trends and improve worker safety across the U.S. This entry- or mid-level role is ideal for someone who enjoys analytical work, applies sound judgement consistently, and is motivated by contributing to real world improvements in worker health and safety. You will analyze work-related fatality, catastrophe, and severe injury or illness records, draft brief incident narratives, and assign case characteristic codes for each using the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Occupational Injury and Illness Classification System (OIICS).
This full-time position is fully remote, giving you the flexibility to work from home. Teamwork is vital to our success, so you will partner daily with a supportive analyst team through Microsoft Teams. Additionally, if you prefer an in-person environment and live near one of our physical offices, you are welcome to use our workspace as well.
