    (1) Data are coded using the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). For more information 
        on the version of NAICS used in this year, see our Handbook of Methods concepts page:

    (2) The incidence rates represent the number of injuries and illnesses per 100 full-time workers and 
        were calculated as: (N/EH) x 200,000, where N = number of injuries and illnesses; 
        EH = total hours worked by all employees during the calendar year; 
        200,000 = base for 100 equivalent full-time workers (working 40 hours per week, 50 weeks per year).
