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
EH
Total
With
fractures,
burns, and
other
injuries
Back pain and pain,
except back
= number of injuries and illnesses
= total hours worked by all employees
during the calendar year
= 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 Standard Occupational Classification Manual, 2000, Office of
Management and Budget
4 Excludes farms with fewer than 11 employees.
5 Data shown in columns correspond to the following Nature codes:
Sprains, strains = 021; 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 back only = 0972; All
other natures = 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.
6 Includes nonclassifiable responses.
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.
