A variety of state and federal data sources are used to estimate two critical components of the annual economic costs of occupational injuries and illnesses in Pennsylvania: foregone earnings of affected workers and medical costs. Foregone earnings costs resulting from occupational injuries and illnesses are estimated at between $1.22 billion and $2.02 billion in 1988. A number of potential adjustments to these estimates widen the range considerably. Estimates of medical costs range from $740 million to $797 million. Combining these two estimates gives total estimated costs of $1.96 billion to $2.82 billion.
受影响工人的收入损失和医疗成本。1988年，因职业伤害和疾病导致的收入损失成本估计在12.2亿美元至20.2亿美元之间。对这些估计数进行的一些潜在调整大大扩大了范围。医疗成本估计在7.4亿美元至7.97亿美元之间。将这两项估计数相加，得出的总估计成本为19.6亿美元至28.2亿美元。
