1Incidence 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).
2Days-away-from-work cases include those which
result in days away from work with or without restricted work
activity.
3Totals include data for industries not shown
separately.
4Standard Industrial Classification Manual,
1987 Edition
5Data shown in columns correspond to the
following Nature codes: Sprains, strains = 21; Fractures = 012;Cuts,
punctures = 034, 037;Bruises = 043;Heat burns = 053;Chemical burns =
051;Amputations = 031;Carpal tunnel syndrome = 1241;Tendonitis =
1733;Multiple traumatic injuries and illnesses, Total = 080-089;With
fractures, burns, and other injuries = 083, 084; With sprains and bruises
= 082; Back pain and pain, except back, Total = 0972, 0973; Back pain,
hurt pack only = 0972; All other natures = all remaining codes, including
9999 (Non classifiable). These codes are based on the 1992
Occupational Injury and Illness Classification System developed by the
Bureau of Labor Statistics.
6Includes nonclassifiable
responses.
NOTE: Dashes indicate data that are
not available. Because of rounding, data may not sum to
totals.
n.e.c. = not elsewhere
