	1  Incidence rates represent the number of injuries per 100 full-time workers
and were calculated as:  (N/EH) X 200,000 where,

           N = number of injuries,
          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).

	2  High rate industries were those having the 25 highest total cases incidence
rates for injuries at the most detailed or lowest SIC level at which rates are calculated
and published.  Based on this comparison, the highest rates were all reported in
manufacturing industries.  Generally, manufacturing industries were calculated at the
4-digit code level and the remaining industries at the 3-digit level based on the
Standard Industrial Classification Manual, 1987 Edition.

	3  Standard Industrial Classification Manual, 1987 Edition.

	4  Employment is expressed as an annual average and is derived primarily from
the BLS-State Current Employment Statistics program.

	n.e.c. = not elsewhere classified
	n.a. = not available
