     1  Incidence rates represent the number of injuries and illnesses per 100 full-time workers and were 
calculated as: (N/EH) x 200,000 where
          N          = number of injuries and illnesses                                                                      
          EH        = total hours worked by all employees during the calendar year                           
          200,000 = base for 100 equivalent full-time workers
                           (working 40 hours per week, 50 weeks per year).                                                                                     
     2  North American Industry Classification System, 2007 Edition.
     3  Excludes farms with fewer than 11 employees.
     4  Data for mining (Sector 21 in the North American Industry Classification System, 2007 
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
OSHA 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 railroad transportation are provided to BLS  by the Federal 
Railroad Administration, U.S. Department of Transportation.  
     6  Days-away-from-work cases include those that result in days away from
work with or without restricted work activity.
NOTE: Because of rounding, components may not add to totals. Dash indicates data do not meet
publication guidelines.
