  1 The incidence rates represent the number of injuries
and illnesses per 100 full-time workers and were
calculated as:  (N/EH) x 200,000, where                  
     
     N      =  number of injuries and illnesses          
             
     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 Lost workday cases involve days away from work, days
of restricted work activity, or both.
  3 High rate industries were those having the 25 highest
lost workday cases incidence rates for injuries and
illnesses at the most detailed or lowest SIC level at
which rates are calculated and published.  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.
  4 Standard Industrial Classification Manual, 1987
Edition.
  5 A statistical significance test indicates that the
difference between the 2001 incidence rate and the 2000
rate is statistically significant at the 95 percent
confidence level.
  6 Excludes farms with fewer than 11 employees.
  NOTE:  Dash indicates data not available.  The n.e.c.
abbreviation means that the category includes those
components not elsewhere classified.
