1 The 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 = 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).
2 Median days away from work is the measure used to summarize the varying lengths of absences from work among the cases with days
away from work. Half the cases involved more days and half involved fewer days than a specified median. Median days away from work are
represented in actual values.
3 Days-away-from-work cases include those that resulted in days away from work, some of which also included job transfer or restriction.
4 Musculoskeletal disorders include cases in which the nature of the injury or illness is pinched nerve; herniated disc; meniscus tear; sprains,
strains, tears; hernia (traumatic and nontraumatic); pain, swelling, and numbness; carpal or tarsal tunnel syndrome; Raynaud’s syndrome or
phenomenon; musculoskeletal system and connective tissue diseases and disorders, and when the event or exposure leading to the injury or
illness is overexertion and bodily reaction, unspecified; overexertion involving outside sources; repetitive motion involving microtasks; other and
multiple exertions or bodily reactions; and rubbed, abraded, or jarred by vibration.
5 Excludes farms with fewer than 11 employees.
6 Data for Mining (Sector 21 in the North American Industry Classification System-- United States, 2012) 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.
7 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.

1 The 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 = 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).
2 Median days away from work is the measure used to summarize the varying lengths of absences from work among the cases with days
away from work. Half the cases involved more days and half involved fewer days than a specified median. Median days away from work are
represented in actual values.
3 Days-away-from-work cases include those that resulted in days away from work, some of which also included job transfer or restriction.
4 Musculoskeletal disorders include cases in which the nature of the injury or illness is pinched nerve; herniated disc; meniscus tear; sprains,
strains, tears; hernia (traumatic and nontraumatic); pain, swelling, and numbness; carpal or tarsal tunnel syndrome; Raynaud’s syndrome or
phenomenon; musculoskeletal system and connective tissue diseases and disorders, and when the event or exposure leading to the injury or
illness is overexertion and bodily reaction, unspecified; overexertion involving outside sources; repetitive motion involving microtasks; other and
multiple exertions or bodily reactions; and rubbed, abraded, or jarred by vibration.

6 Data for Mining (Sector 21 in the North American Industry Classification System-- United States, 2012) 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

1 The 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 = 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).
2 Median days away from work is the measure used to summarize the varying lengths of absences from work among the cases with days
away from work. Half the cases involved more days and half involved fewer days than a specified median. Median days away from work are
represented in actual values.
3 Days-away-from-work cases include those that resulted in days away from work, some of which also included job transfer or restriction.
4 Musculoskeletal disorders include cases in which the nature of the injury or illness is pinched nerve; herniated disc; meniscus tear; sprains,
strains, tears; hernia (traumatic and nontraumatic); pain, swelling, and numbness; carpal or tarsal tunnel syndrome; Raynaud’s syndrome or
phenomenon; musculoskeletal system and connective tissue diseases and disorders, and when the event or exposure leading to the injury or
illness is overexertion and bodily reaction, unspecified; overexertion involving outside sources; repetitive motion involving microtasks; other and
multiple exertions or bodily reactions; and rubbed, abraded, or jarred by vibration.
5 Excludes farms with fewer than 11 employees.
6 Data for Mining (Sector 21 in the North American Industry Classification System-- United States, 2012) 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.
7 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.

1 The 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 = 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).
2 Median days away from work is the measure used to summarize the varying lengths of absences from work among the cases with days
away from work. Half the cases involved more days and half involved fewer days than a specified median. Median days away from work are
represented in actual values.
3 Days-away-from-work cases include those that resulted in days away from work, some of which also included job transfer or restriction.
4 Musculoskeletal disorders include cases in which the nature of the injury or illness is pinched nerve; herniated disc; meniscus tear; sprains,
strains, tears; hernia (traumatic and nontraumatic); pain, swelling, and numbness; carpal or tarsal tunnel syndrome; Raynaud’s syndrome or
phenomenon; musculoskeletal system and connective tissue diseases and disorders, and when the event or exposure leading to the injury or
illness is overexertion and bodily reaction, unspecified; overexertion involving outside sources; repetitive motion involving microtasks; other and
multiple exertions or bodily reactions; and rubbed, abraded, or jarred by vibration.
5 Excludes farms with fewer than 11 employees.
6 Data for Mining (Sector 21 in the North American Industry Classification System-- United States, 2012) 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.
7 Data for employers in rail transportation are provided to BLS by the Federal Railroad Administration, U.S. Department of Transportation.
8 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.

1 The 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 = 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).
2 Median days away from work is the measure used to summarize the varying lengths of absences from work among the cases with days
away from work. Half the cases involved more days and half involved fewer days than a specified median. Median days away from work are
represented in actual values.
3 Days-away-from-work cases include those that resulted in days away from work, some of which also included job transfer or restriction.
4 Musculoskeletal disorders include cases in which the nature of the injury or illness is pinched nerve; herniated disc; meniscus tear; sprains,
strains, tears; hernia (traumatic and nontraumatic); pain, swelling, and numbness; carpal or tarsal tunnel syndrome; Raynaud’s syndrome or
phenomenon; musculoskeletal system and connective tissue diseases and disorders, and when the event or exposure leading to the injury or
illness is overexertion and bodily reaction, unspecified; overexertion involving outside sources; repetitive motion involving microtasks; other and
multiple exertions or bodily reactions; and rubbed, abraded, or jarred by vibration.
5 Excludes farms with fewer than 11 employees.
6 Data for Mining (Sector 21 in the North American Industry Classification System-- United States, 2012) 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.
7 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.

1 The 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 = 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).
2 Median days away from work is the measure used to summarize the varying lengths of absences from work among the cases with days
away from work. Half the cases involved more days and half involved fewer days than a specified median. Median days away from work are
represented in actual values.
3 Days-away-from-work cases include those that resulted in days away from work, some of which also included job transfer or restriction.
4 Musculoskeletal disorders include cases in which the nature of the injury or illness is pinched nerve; herniated disc; meniscus tear; sprains,
strains, tears; hernia (traumatic and nontraumatic); pain, swelling, and numbness; carpal or tarsal tunnel syndrome; Raynaud’s syndrome or
phenomenon; musculoskeletal system and connective tissue diseases and disorders, and when the event or exposure leading to the injury or
illness is overexertion and bodily reaction, unspecified; overexertion involving outside sources; repetitive motion involving microtasks; other and
multiple exertions or bodily reactions; and rubbed, abraded, or jarred by vibration.
5 Excludes farms with fewer than 11 employees.
6 Data for Mining (Sector 21 in the North American Industry Classification System-- United States, 2012) 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.

1 The 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 = 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).
2 Median days away from work is the measure used to summarize the varying lengths of absences from work among the cases with days
away from work. Half the cases involved more days and half involved fewer days than a specified median. Median days away from work are
represented in actual values.
3 Days-away-from-work cases include those that resulted in days away from work, some of which also included job transfer or restriction.
4 Musculoskeletal disorders include cases in which the nature of the injury or illness is pinched nerve; herniated disc; meniscus tear; sprains,
strains, tears; hernia (traumatic and nontraumatic); pain, swelling, and numbness; carpal or tarsal tunnel syndrome; Raynaud’s syndrome or
phenomenon; musculoskeletal system and connective tissue diseases and disorders, and when the event or exposure leading to the injury or
illness is overexertion and bodily reaction, unspecified; overexertion involving outside sources; repetitive motion involving microtasks; other and
multiple exertions or bodily reactions; and rubbed, abraded, or jarred by vibration.
5 Excludes farms with fewer than 11 employees.
6 Data for Mining (Sector 21 in the North American Industry Classification System-- United States, 2012) 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.
7 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.

1 The 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 = 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).
2 Median days away from work is the measure used to summarize the varying lengths of absences from work among the cases with days
away from work. Half the cases involved more days and half involved fewer days than a specified median. Median days away from work are
represented in actual values.
3 Days-away-from-work cases include those that resulted in days away from work, some of which also included job transfer or restriction.
4 Musculoskeletal disorders include cases in which the nature of the injury or illness is pinched nerve; herniated disc; meniscus tear; sprains,
strains, tears; hernia (traumatic and nontraumatic); pain, swelling, and numbness; carpal or tarsal tunnel syndrome; Raynaud’s syndrome or
phenomenon; musculoskeletal system and connective tissue diseases and disorders, and when the event or exposure leading to the injury or
illness is overexertion and bodily reaction, unspecified; overexertion involving outside sources; repetitive motion involving microtasks; other and
multiple exertions or bodily reactions; and rubbed, abraded, or jarred by vibration.
5 Excludes farms with fewer than 11 employees.
6 Data for Mining (Sector 21 in the North American Industry Classification System-- United States, 2012) 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.
7 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.

1 The 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 = 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).
2 Median days away from work is the measure used to summarize the varying lengths of absences from work among the cases with days
away from work. Half the cases involved more days and half involved fewer days than a specified median. Median days away from work are
represented in actual values.
3 Days-away-from-work cases include those that resulted in days away from work, some of which also included job transfer or restriction.
4 Musculoskeletal disorders include cases in which the nature of the injury or illness is pinched nerve; herniated disc; meniscus tear; sprains,
strains, tears; hernia (traumatic and nontraumatic); pain, swelling, and numbness; carpal or tarsal tunnel syndrome; Raynaud’s syndrome or
phenomenon; musculoskeletal system and connective tissue diseases and disorders, and when the event or exposure leading to the injury or
illness is overexertion and bodily reaction, unspecified; overexertion involving outside sources; repetitive motion involving microtasks; other and
multiple exertions or bodily reactions; and rubbed, abraded, or jarred by vibration.
5 Excludes farms with fewer than 11 employees.
6 Data for Mining (Sector 21 in the North American Industry Classification System-- United States, 2012) 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.
7 Data for employers in rail transportation are provided to BLS by the Federal Railroad Administration, U.S. Department of Transportation.

1 The 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 = 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).
2 Median days away from work is the measure used to summarize the varying lengths of absences from work among the cases with days
away from work. Half the cases involved more days and half involved fewer days than a specified median. Median days away from work are
represented in actual values.
3 Days-away-from-work cases include those that resulted in days away from work, some of which also included job transfer or restriction.
4 Musculoskeletal disorders include cases in which the nature of the injury or illness is pinched nerve; herniated disc; meniscus tear; sprains,
strains, tears; hernia (traumatic and nontraumatic); pain, swelling, and numbness; carpal or tarsal tunnel syndrome; Raynaud’s syndrome or
phenomenon; musculoskeletal system and connective tissue diseases and disorders, and when the event or exposure leading to the injury or
illness is overexertion and bodily reaction, unspecified; overexertion involving outside sources; repetitive motion involving microtasks; other and
multiple exertions or bodily reactions; and rubbed, abraded, or jarred by vibration.
5 Excludes farms with fewer than 11 employees.
6 Data for Mining (Sector 21 in the North American Industry Classification System-- United States, 2012) 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.
7 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.

1 The 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 = 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).
2 Median days away from work is the measure used to summarize the varying lengths of absences from work among the cases with days
away from work. Half the cases involved more days and half involved fewer days than a specified median. Median days away from work are
represented in actual values.
3 Days-away-from-work cases include those that resulted in days away from work, some of which also included job transfer or restriction.
4 Musculoskeletal disorders include cases in which the nature of the injury or illness is pinched nerve; herniated disc; meniscus tear; sprains,
strains, tears; hernia (traumatic and nontraumatic); pain, swelling, and numbness; carpal or tarsal tunnel syndrome; Raynaud’s syndrome or
phenomenon; musculoskeletal system and connective tissue diseases and disorders, and when the event or exposure leading to the injury or
illness is overexertion and bodily reaction, unspecified; overexertion involving outside sources; repetitive motion involving microtasks; other and
multiple exertions or bodily reactions; and rubbed, abraded, or jarred by vibration.
5 Excludes farms with fewer than 11 employees.
6 Data for Mining (Sector 21 in the North American Industry Classification System-- United States, 2012) 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.
7 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.

1 The 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 = 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).
2 Median days away from work is the measure used to summarize the varying lengths of absences from work among the cases with days
away from work. Half the cases involved more days and half involved fewer days than a specified median. Median days away from work are
represented in actual values.
3 Days-away-from-work cases include those that resulted in days away from work, some of which also included job transfer or restriction.
4 Musculoskeletal disorders include cases in which the nature of the injury or illness is pinched nerve; herniated disc; meniscus tear; sprains,
strains, tears; hernia (traumatic and nontraumatic); pain, swelling, and numbness; carpal or tarsal tunnel syndrome; Raynaud’s syndrome or
phenomenon; musculoskeletal system and connective tissue diseases and disorders, and when the event or exposure leading to the injury or
illness is overexertion and bodily reaction, unspecified; overexertion involving outside sources; repetitive motion involving microtasks; other and
multiple exertions or bodily reactions; and rubbed, abraded, or jarred by vibration.
5 Excludes farms with fewer than 11 employees.
6 Data for Mining (Sector 21 in the North American Industry Classification System-- United States, 2012) 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.
7 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.

1 The 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 = 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).
2 Median days away from work is the measure used to summarize the varying lengths of absences from work among the cases with days
away from work. Half the cases involved more days and half involved fewer days than a specified median. Median days away from work are
represented in actual values.
3 Days-away-from-work cases include those that resulted in days away from work, some of which also included job transfer or restriction.
4 Musculoskeletal disorders include cases in which the nature of the injury or illness is pinched nerve; herniated disc; meniscus tear; sprains,
strains, tears; hernia (traumatic and nontraumatic); pain, swelling, and numbness; carpal or tarsal tunnel syndrome; Raynaud’s syndrome or
phenomenon; musculoskeletal system and connective tissue diseases and disorders, and when the event or exposure leading to the injury or
illness is overexertion and bodily reaction, unspecified; overexertion involving outside sources; repetitive motion involving microtasks; other and
multiple exertions or bodily reactions; and rubbed, abraded, or jarred by vibration.
5 Excludes farms with fewer than 11 employees.
6 Data for Mining (Sector 21 in the North American Industry Classification System-- United States, 2012) 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.
7 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.

4 Musculoskeletal disorders include cases in which the nature of the injury or illness is pinched nerve; herniated disc; meniscus tear; sprains,
strains, tears; hernia (traumatic and nontraumatic); pain, swelling, and numbness; carpal or tarsal tunnel syndrome; Raynaud’s syndrome or
phenomenon; musculoskeletal system and connective tissue diseases and disorders, and when the event or exposure leading to the injury or
illness is overexertion and bodily reaction, unspecified; overexertion involving outside sources; repetitive motion involving microtasks; other and
multiple exertions or bodily reactions; and rubbed, abraded, or jarred by vibration.

1 The 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 = 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).
2 Median days away from work is the measure used to summarize the varying lengths of absences from work among the cases with days
away from work. Half the cases involved more days and half involved fewer days than a specified median. Median days away from work are
represented in actual values.
3 Days-away-from-work cases include those that resulted in days away from work, some of which also included job transfer or restriction.
4 Musculoskeletal disorders include cases in which the nature of the injury or illness is pinched nerve; herniated disc; meniscus tear; sprains,
strains, tears; hernia (traumatic and nontraumatic); pain, swelling, and numbness; carpal or tarsal tunnel syndrome; Raynaud’s syndrome or
phenomenon; musculoskeletal system and connective tissue diseases and disorders, and when the event or exposure leading to the injury or

1 The 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 = 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).
2 Median days away from work is the measure used to summarize the varying lengths of absences from work among the cases with days
away from work. Half the cases involved more days and half involved fewer days than a specified median. Median days away from work are
represented in actual values.
3 Days-away-from-work cases include those that resulted in days away from work, some of which also included job transfer or restriction.
4 Musculoskeletal disorders include cases in which the nature of the injury or illness is pinched nerve; herniated disc; meniscus tear; sprains,
strains, tears; hernia (traumatic and nontraumatic); pain, swelling, and numbness; carpal or tarsal tunnel syndrome; Raynaud’s syndrome or
phenomenon; musculoskeletal system and connective tissue diseases and disorders, and when the event or exposure leading to the injury or
illness is overexertion and bodily reaction, unspecified; overexertion involving outside sources; repetitive motion involving microtasks; other and
multiple exertions or bodily reactions; and rubbed, abraded, or jarred by vibration.
5 Excludes farms with fewer than 11 employees.
6 Data for Mining (Sector 21 in the North American Industry Classification System-- United States, 2012) 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.
7 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.

phenomenon; musculoskeletal system and connective tissue diseases and disorders, and when the event or exposure leading to the injury or
illness is overexertion and bodily reaction, unspecified; overexertion involving outside sources; repetitive motion involving microtasks; other and
multiple exertions or bodily reactions; and rubbed, abraded, or jarred by vibration.
5 Excludes farms with fewer than 11 employees.
6 Data for Mining (Sector 21 in the North American Industry Classification System-- United States, 2012) 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.
7 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.

1 The 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 = 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).
2 Median days away from work is the measure used to summarize the varying lengths of absences from work among the cases with days
away from work. Half the cases involved more days and half involved fewer days than a specified median. Median days away from work are
represented in actual values.
3 Days-away-from-work cases include those that resulted in days away from work, some of which also included job transfer or restriction.
4 Musculoskeletal disorders include cases in which the nature of the injury or illness is pinched nerve; herniated disc; meniscus tear; sprains,
strains, tears; hernia (traumatic and nontraumatic); pain, swelling, and numbness; carpal or tarsal tunnel syndrome; Raynaud’s syndrome or
phenomenon; musculoskeletal system and connective tissue diseases and disorders, and when the event or exposure leading to the injury or
illness is overexertion and bodily reaction, unspecified; overexertion involving outside sources; repetitive motion involving microtasks; other and
multiple exertions or bodily reactions; and rubbed, abraded, or jarred by vibration.
5 Excludes farms with fewer than 11 employees.
