1 Days-away-from-work cases include those that resulted in days away from work, some of which also included job transfer or restriction.
2 Excludes farms with fewer than 11 employees.
3 Data for Mining (Sector 21 in the North American Industry Classification System-- United States, 2002) include establishments not
governed by the Mine Safety and Health Administration rules and reporting, such as those in Oil and Gas Extraction and related support
activities. Data for mining operators in coal, metal, and nonmetal mining are provided to BLS by the Mine Safety and Health
Administration, U.S. Department of Labor. Independent mining contractors are excluded from the coal, metal, and nonmetal mining
industries. These data do not reflect the changes the Occupational Safety and Health Administration made to its recordkeeping
requirements effective January 1, 2002; therefore, estimates for these industries are not comparable to estimates in other industries.
4 Data for employers in rail transportation are provided to BLS by the Federal Railroad Administration, U.S. Department of
Transportation.
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.
