Totals include data for industries not shown separately. 2 Standard Industrial Classification Manual, 1987 Edition. 3 Total lost workday cases involve days away from work, or days of restricted work activity, or both. 4 Days-away-from-work cases include those which result in days away from work with or without restricted work activity. 5 Excludes farms with fewer than 11 employees. 6 A statistical significance test indicates that the difference between the 1998 incidence rate and the 1997 rate is statistically significant at the 95 percent confidence level. 7 Data conforming to OSHA definitions for mining operators in coal, metal, and nonmetal mining and for employers in railroad transportation are provided to BLS by the Mine Safety and Health Administration, U.S. Department of Labor; and the Federal Railroad Administration, U.S. Department of Transportation. Independent mining contractors are excluded from the coal, metal, and nonmetal mining industries. BLS does not calculate relative standard errors for SICs 10, 12, 14, and 40, therefore, differences in these estimates were not tested for statistical significance. NOTE: Because of rounding, components may not add to totals. n.e.c. = not elsewhere classified. SOURCE: Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor December 1999
