Footnotes:
(1) Incidence rates represent the number of injuries and illnesses per 100 full-time workers and were calculated as (N/EH) x 200,000 where
N = number of injuries and illnesses
EH = total hours worked by all employees durring the calendar year
200,000 = base for 100 equivalent full-time workers (working 40 hours per week, 50 weeks per year).
(2) Days-away-from-work cases include those that result in days away from work, some of which also include job transfer or restriction.
(3) Excludes firms with fewer than 11 employees.
NOTE: Dash indicates data do not meet publication guidelines. Because of rounding and data exclusion of nonclassifiable responses, data may not sum to totals.
