     1 Classified according to the North American Industry Classification System.     
     2 Includes fatalities at all establishments categorized as Mining (Sector 21) in the North American     
Industry Classification System, including establishments not governed by the Mine Safety and     
Health Administration (MSHA) rules and reporting, such as those in Oil and Gas Extraction.     
     3 The primary source of injury identifies the object, substance, or exposure that directly produced or 
inflicted the injury. For most transportation incidents, the primary source identifies the vehicle in which the
deceased was an occupant. For most falls, the primary source identifies the surface or object contacted.
     4 The secondary source of injury, if any, identifies the object, substance, or person that generated the
source of injury or that contributed to the event or exposure. For vehicle collisions, the deceased's 
vehicle is the primary source and the other object (truck, road divider, etc.) is the secondary source.  
For most homicides, the "bullet" is the primary source and the "perpetrator" is the secondary source.    
For most falls, the secondary source identifies the equipment or surface from which the worker fell.   
    NOTE: Totals for major categories may include subcategories not shown separately. Dashes     
indicate no data reported or data that do not meet publication criteria. n.e.c. means "not elsewhere      
classified." Data for 2008 are preliminary.
