1Incidence rates represent the number of
injuries and illnesses per 10,000 full-time workers and were calculated
as: (N/EH) x 20,000,000 where N=number of injuries and illnesses; EH =
Total hours worked by all employees during the calendar year; 20,000,000 =
base for 10,000 equivalent full-time workers (working 40 hours per week,
50 weeks per year).
2Days-away-from-work cases include those which
result in days away from work with or without restricted work
activity.
3Totals include data for industries not shown
separately.
4Standard industrial Classification Manual,
1987 Edition.
5Data shown in columns correspond to the
following Event codes: Contact with objects, Total = 00-09;Struck by
object = 020-029;Struck against object = 010-019; Caught in or compressed
or crushed = 030-049;Fall to lower level = 110-119;Fall on same level =
130-139;Slips or trips without fall = 215;Overexertion, Total = 220-229;
In lifting = 221: Repetitive Motion = 230-239;Exposure to harmful
substance or environment = 30-39; Transportation accidents = 40-49;Fires
and explosions = 50-52;Assaults and violent acts, Total = 60-63;By person
= 61;All other assaults = 60,62, and 63;All other events = all remaining
codes, including 9999(Non classifiable). These codes are based on the 1992
Occupational Injury and Illness Classification System developed by the
Bureau of Labor Statistics.
