     1  Incidence rates represent the number of illnesses per 10,000 full-time workers and were 
calculated as: (N/EH) x 20,000,000 where
          N                   = number of illnesses                                                                       
          EH                = total hours worked by all employees during the calendar year                          
          20,000,000  = base for 10,000 equivalent full-time workers
                                      (working 40 hours per week, 50 weeks per year).                                                                                     
     2  Totals include data for industries not shown separately.
     3  North American Industry Classification System 2007 Edition.
     4  Excludes farms with fewer than 11 employees.
     5  Data too small to be displayed.
     6  Data for mining (Sector 21 in the North American Industry Classification System -- United States,
 2007) include establishments not governed by the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) rules 
and reporting, such as those in oil and gas extraction and related support activities. Data for mining 
operators in coal, metal, and nonmetal mining are provided to BLS by the Mine Safety and Health 
Administration, U.S. Department of Labor. Independent mining contractors are excluded from the 
coal, metal, and nonmetal mining industries. These data do not reflect the changes the Occupational 
Safety and Health Administration made to its recordkeeping requirements effective January 1, 
2002; therefore estimates for these industries are not comparable to estimates in other industries.
     7  Data for mining operators in this industry are provided to BLS by the Mine Safety and 
Health Administration, U.S. Department of Labor. Independent mining contractors are 
excluded. These data do not reflect the changes the Occupational Safety and Health Administration  
made to its recordkeeping requirements effective January 1, 2002; therefore estimates for these 
industries are not comparable to estimates in other industries.
     8  Data for employers in rail transportation are provided to BLS by the Federal Railroad 
Administration, U.S. Department of Transportation.  
NOTE: Because of rounding, components may not add to totals. Dash indicates data do not meet
