NOTE: Injuries and illnesses are total OSHA-recordable cases, from the SOII. Column (2) gives injuries and illnesses per 100 FTE workers based on aggregate hours worked from the SOII; every 200,000 hours worked by employees in the industry counts as 100 FTE workers. Column (4) is defined as column (2) divided by the economy-wide average of 4.8 cases per 100 FTE workers. Value added is private sector value added, excluding Proprietor's Income, from the BEA. The conversion of hours worked into full-time equivalent (FTE) workers assumes that a full-time worker works 2,000 hours annually.
