  1 Industries with 100,000 or more cases were determined by analysis of the number of cases at the 3-digit SIC
code level.
  2 Standard Industrial Classification Manual, 1987 Edition.
  3 The 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 during     
               the calendar year                        
     200,000 = base for 100 equivalent full-time workers    
               (working 40 hours per week, 50 weeks per year).      
     
  4 Excludes farms with fewer than 11 employees.
