|
| 1 Incidence rates represent the number of injuries and/or
illnesses per 100 full-time workers |
| (10,000 full-time
workers for illness rates) and were calculated as: (N / EH) X
200,000 |
| (20,000,000 for illness rates)
where, |
|
|
| N = number of injuries and/or illnesses |
|
| EH = total hours worked by all employees during
the calendar year |
|
| 200,000 =
base for 100 full-time equivalent workers (working 40 hours per week,
50 weeks per year) |
|
| 20,000,000 =
base for 10,000 full-time equivalent workers (working 40 hours per
week, 50 weeks per year). |
|
| 2 Excludes farms with fewer than 11 employees. |
|
| 3 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. |
|
| 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. |
|
| 4 Data for employers in rail transportation are provided to BLS by
the Federal Railroad Admini- |
|
| stration,
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. |
|
| 5 Days-away-from-work cases include those that result in days away
from work with or without job transfer or
restriction. |
|
| 6 Fewer than 15 cases or rate less than 0.05. |
|
| NOTE: Dashes indicate data that do not
meet publication guidelines. |
