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. 2 Standard Industrial Classification Manual, 1987 Edition. 3 Employment is expressed as an annual average and is derived primarily from the BLS-State Covered Employment and Wages program. 4 The 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). 5 Excludes farms with fewer than 11 employees. n.e.c. = not elsewhere classified. - Data not available.
