1		Figure 1-36 Distribution of occupational injury and illness cases with days away from work in private industry by nature of injury or illness, 2001. Sprains and strains accounted for more than 669,889-or nearly 43.6% of all nonfatal occupational injuries and illnesses. (Source: BLS [2003c].)
2		Figure 1-37 Median days away from work due to occupational injuries or illnesses in private industry by nature of injury or illness, 2001. Among major disabling injuries and illnesses, median days away from work were highest for carpal tunnel syndrome (25 days), fractures (21 days), and amputations (18 days). The median number of days away from work was 6 for all cases in 2001. (Source: BLS [2003c].)
3		Figure 2-36 Distribution and number of MSD cases involving days away from work in private industry by nature of injury or illness, 2001. Sprains and strains accounted for 399,772 cases or 76.5% of the 522,528 musculoskeletal disorders involving days away from work in 2001. (Source: BLS [2003d].)
4		Figure 2-60 Number of tendonitis cases involving days away from work in private industry, 1992-2001. The annual number of tendonitis cases involving days away from work declined 44.3% during this period, from 25,353 cases in 1992 to 14,124 cases in 2001. (Sources: BLS [2003a,b].)
5		Figure 2-61 Annual rate of tendonitis cases involving days away from work in private industry, 1992-2001. The annual rate of private-sector tendonitis cases involving days away from work declined 51.5% during this period-from 3.3 per 10,000 full-time workers in 1992 to 1.6 in 2001. (Sources: BLS [2003a,b].)
6		Figure 2-62 Distribution and number of tendonitis cases involving days away from work in private industry by age, 2001. Age data are available for 13,990 of the 14,124 BLS-estimated tendonitis cases involving days away from work in 2001. Workers aged 35-44 accounted for 4,686 or 33.5% of cases. (Sources: BLS [2003a,b]; Booth-Jones et al. [2003c].)
7		Figure 2-63 Distribution of tendonitis cases involving days away from work in private industry by sex, 1992-2001. Female workers accounted for the majority of tendonitis cases during 1992-2001. Over the decade, women represented 54.8% to 62.3% of the cases. (Sources: BLS [2003a,b]; Booth-Jones et al. [2003c].)
8		Figure 2-64 Distribution and number of tendonitis cases involving days away from work in private industry by race/ethnicity, 2001. Race/ethnicity data are available for 10,268 of the 14,124 BLS-estimated tendonitis cases involving days away from work in 2001. White, non-Hispanic workers accounted for the majority of cases (71.3% or 7,325 cases) in 2001. Hispanic workers accounted for 13.6% or 1,400 cases of tendonitis, and black, non-Hispanic workers accounted for 12.7% or 1,302 cases. (Sources: BLS [2003a,b]; Booth-Jones et al. [2003c].)
9		Figure 2-65 Distribution of tendonitis cases and all nonfatal injury and illness cases involving days away from work in private industry by days away from work, 2001. Tendonitis cases in 2001 tended to involve higher percentages of long-term work loss (6-10, 11-20, 21-30, and 31 or more days away from work). For example, 29.7% of tendonitis cases involved 31 or more days away from work compared with only 22.0% of all nonfatal injuries and illnesses. Tendonitis cases required a median of 10 days away from work in 2001, whereas all nonfatal injuries and illnesses required 6. (Sources: BLS [2003a,b]; Booth-Jones et al. [2003c].)
10		Figure 2-66 Distribution and number of tendonitis cases involving days away from work in private industry by occupation, 2001. Operators, fabricators, and laborers represented 47.1% of tendonitis cases in 2001. Two other occupations accounted for nearly 39% of the cases: technical, sales, and administrative support (20.8%); and precision production, craft, and repair (18.0%). (Sources: BLS [2003a,b]; Booth-Jones et al. [2003c].)
11		Figure 2-67 Incidence rate of tendonitis cases involving days away from work by private industry sector, 2001. Private industry reported a tendonitis incidence rate of 1.6 per 10,000 full-time workers in 2001. Three sectors reported rates exceeding the private-sector rate: manufacturing (3.2 per 10,000 full-time workers or 5,567 cases), construction (2.0 per 10,000 full-time workers or 1,230 cases), and transportation and public utilities (1.7 per 10,000 full-time workers or 1,128 cases). (Source: BLS [2003a].)
12		Figure 2-68 Annual rates of tendonitis cases involving days away from work by private industry sector, 1992-2001. The annual rate of tendonitis cases declined 51.5% in the private sector during 1992-2001. Rates declined among most industry sectors except for mining and transportation and public utilities. Manufacturing had consistently higher rates of tendonitis than other industry sectors and experienced a 59% rate reduction during this 10-year period. (Source: BLS [2003a].)
