| 1 Days-away-from-work
cases include those that result in days away from work with or without job
transfer |
|

restriction. |

fewer than 11 employees. |
|
| 3 Data for mining (Sector
21 in the North American Industry Classification
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 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 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 |
|
| 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. |
