| 1 Incidence rates represent the number of injuries and illnesses per 10,000 full-time workers and were | |||||||||||||
| calculated as: (N/EH) x 20,000,000 where | |||||||||||||
| N = number of injuries and illnesses | |||||||||||||
| EH = total hours worked by all employees during calendar year | |||||||||||||
| 20,000,000 = base for 10,000 equivalent full-time workers (working 40 hours per week, | |||||||||||||
| 50 weeks per year). | |||||||||||||
| 2 Days away from work cases include those that result in days away from work with or without job | |||||||||||||
| transfer or restriction. | |||||||||||||
| 3 Excludes farms with fewer than 11 employees. | |||||||||||||
| 4 Data for mining (Sector 21 in the North American Industry Classification System -- United States, 2002) | |||||||||||||
| 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. | |||||||||||||
| NOTE: Dashes indicate data that are not available. Because of rounding and data exclusion of | |||||||||||||
| nonclassifiable responses, data may not sum to the totals. | |||||||||||||
