| 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 Classification System -- United States, 2007) 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 railroad transportation are provided to BLS by the Federal Railroad Administration, U.S. Department of Transportation. | |||||||||
| 5 Median days away from work is the measure used to summarize the varying lengths of absences from work among the cases | |||||||||
| with days away from work. Half the cases involved more days and half involved less days than a specified median. Median days away from work are | |||||||||
| represented in actual values. | |||||||||
| NOTE: Because of rounding and data exclusion of nonclassifiable responses, data may not sum to the totals. Dashes indicate data that | |||||||||
| do not meet publication guidelines. The scientifically selected probability sample used was one of many possible samples, each of which | |||||||||
| could have produced different estimates. A measure of sampling variability for each estimate is available upon request. | |||||||||
