  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 High rate industries were those having the 20 highest
cases with days of restricted work activity 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.
  3 Standard Industrial Classification Manual, 1987
Edition.
  4 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.
  5 Excludes farms with fewer than 11 employees.

abbreviation means that the category includes those
