     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, 2007 Edition.
     3  Excludes farms with fewer than 11 employees.
     4  Data for mining (Sector 21 in the North American Industry Classification System Manual, 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  Data too small to be displayed.
NOTE: Because of rounding, components may not add to totals. Dash indicates data do not meet
publication guidelines.
