  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
incidence rates of injury and illness cases with days of
job transfer or restriction, 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 Excludes farms with fewer than 11 employees.
  
  NOTE:  The n.e.c. abbreviation means that the category
includes those components not elsewhere classified.
