These codes are based on the Occupational Injury and Illness Classification System developed by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. 6 Includes nonclassifiable responses. 7 Excludes farms with fewer than 11 employees. 8 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.
