Table 2. Injury and Illness Counts and Rates, 1989 and 2004
Year	Injuries and illnesses (in thousands)	Injuries and illnesses per 100 FTE workers	Injuries and illnesses per $M real value added
1992	6,799.4	8.9	1.2
2004	4,257.3	4.8	0.49
NOTE: Injuries are total OSHA-recordable case counts for injuries and illnesses. Value added is private sector gross domestic product (GDP) less proprietors' income. Value added is deflated to year 2000 dollars using a chain-type price index for value added. The conversion of hours worked into full-time equivalent (FTE) workers assumes that a full-time worker works 2,000 hours annually. Value added is defined as gross output minus intermediate inputs.
