  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 Industries with 100,000 or more cases were determined by analysis of
the number of cases at the 3-digit SIC code level.
  3 Standard Industrial Classification Manual, 1987 Edition.
  4 Excludes farms with fewer than 11 employees.
  5 A statistical significance test indicates that the difference between
the 2001 count and the 2000 count is statistically significant at the 95
percent confidence level.
  6 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.
