     1  Days-away-from-work cases include those that result in days away from work with or without job transfer or restriction. 
     2  Excludes farms with fewer than 11 employees.                                                                            
     3  Data for mining (Sector 21 in the North American Industry Classifi-cation 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
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 require-                                                                                                                  
ments 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 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.
