CAIRS Loss Producing Event Codes

For injury or illness events, this field is a four character code that describes the manner in which the injury or illness was produced or inflicted by the source of injury or illness. For vehicle accidents, this field identifies the event or exposure that primarily caused or contributed to the accident. To search for upper level classifications (aggregates), use the wildcard operator (%).
