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 case include those which
result in days away from work with or without restricted work
activity.
3Totals include data for industries not shown
separately.
