1 Incidence rates represent the number of injuries and illnesses per 10,000 full-time workers and were calculated as: (N/EH) x 20,000,000 where
N =number of injuries and illnesses
EH =total hours worked by all employees
during the calendar year
20,000,000=base for 10,000 equivalent full-time workers
(working 40 hours per week, 50 weeks per year)
2 Days-away-from-work cases include those that resulted in days away from work, some of which also included job transfer or restriction.
3 Data shown in columns correspond to the following Event codes: Contact with objects, Total = 00-09; Struck by object = 020-029; Struck against object = 010-019; Caught in or compressed or
crushed = 030-049; Fall to lower level = 110-119; Fall on same level = 130-139; Slips or trips without fall = 215; Overexertion, Total = 220-229; In lifting = 221; Repetitive motion = 230-239;
Exposure to harmful substance or environment = 30-39; Transportation accidents = 40-49; Highway accident = 41; Fires and explosions = 50-52; Assaults and violent acts, Total = 60-63; Assaults by
person = 61; All other assaults = 60, 62, and 63; Assaults by animal = 63; All other events = all remaining codes, including 9999 (Nonclassifiable). These codes are based on the 1992
Occupational Injury and Illness Classification System developed by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
4 Selected estimates for this category were affected by the March 2009 revision, see note below.
5 Includes nonclassifiable responses.
6 Information is not shown separately for injured workers under age 14; they accounted for fewer than 50 cases.
7 Data too small to be displayed.
NOTE: Dash indicates data do not meet publication guidelines. Because of rounding and data exclusion of nonclassifiable responses, data may not sum to the totals.
This table was reissued in March 2009 to revise selected estimates within the Mining (NAICS 21) and Railroad Transportation (NAICS 482) industries, and in their respective higher level industry
sectors. Characteristic categories affected by the revisions, that appear in this table, are footnoted.
