 1 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)
     
  2 Lost workday cases involve days away from work, days
of restricted work activity, or both.
  3 High rate industries were those having the 20 highest
lost workday cases incidence rates for injuries 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.
