Nonfatal occupational injury rates in both private and government-owned skilled nursing facilities decreased in 2015, according to data released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics on Thursday.

Privately owned nursing facilities had an injury incidence rate of 6.8 per 100 workers for 2015, down from 7.1 in 2014. The private nursing sector had a total of 171,900 recordable injury or illness incidents in 2015.
