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
20,000,000
Total
= 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 which result in days away
from work with or without restricted work activity.
3 Based on the 1992 Occupational Injury and Illness Classification
System developed by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
4 Data shown in columns correspond to the following Nature codes:
Sprains, strains = 021; Fractures = 012; Cuts, punctures = 034, 037;
Back pain and pain,
