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 Based on the Occupational Injury and Illness Classification System 2.01 developed by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
 
NOTE: Dashes indicate data that are not available. Because of rounding and data exclusion of nonclassifiable responses, data may not sum to the totals.
