    (1) Days-away-from-work cases include those that result in days away from work with or without job transfer 
        or restriction.
    (2) Based on the BLS Occupational Injury and Illness Classification System (OIICS) version 3 implemented 
        for 2023 data forward. For complete information on the OIICS Version used in this year, see the OIICS 
        manual page at https://www.bls.gov/iif/definitions/occupational-injuries-and-illnesses-classification-manual.htm.
    (3) Data are coded using the Standard Occupational Classification (SOC). For more information on the version 
        of SOC used in this year, see our Handbook of Methods concepts page: https://www.bls.gov/opub/hom/soii/concepts.htm.
    (4) 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 during the reference period; 
        EH = total hours worked by all employees during the reference period; and 20,000,000 = base for 10,000 equivalent 
        full-time workers (working 40 hours per week, 50 weeks per year).
