     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 North American Industry Classification System Manual, 2002 Edition. 
       3 Excludes farms with fewer than 11 employees.      
      4 Data for mining (Sector 21 in the North American Industry Classification System, 2002 edition) 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.

 

    

      5 Data for employers in rail transportation are provided to BLS by the Federal Railroad Administration, U.S. Department of Transportation. These data do not reflect the changes OSHA made to its recordkeeping requirements effective January 1, 2002; therefore estimates for these industries are not comparable to estimates in other industries.
    6  Fewer than 50 cases.
     7  Fewer than 15 cases.

NOTE: Because of rounding, components may not add to totals.
