  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 High rate industries were those having the 20 highest
cases with days of restricted work activity 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.
  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.
  
  NOTE:  Dash indicates data not available.  The n.e.c.
abbreviation means that the category includes those
