    (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: https://www.bls.gov/opub/hom/soii/concepts.htm.
    (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).
    (3) Excludes farms with fewer than 11 employees.
    (4) Data for Mining (Sector 21 in the North American Industry Classification System) include 
        establishments not governed by the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) 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 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 of 
        other industries.
    (5) Data for employers in rail transportation are provided to BLS by the Federal Railroad 
        Administration, U.S. Department of Transportation. The scope of the data published in the SOII 
        differs from the scope of the data published by the FRA. For more information on differences see 
        the SOII Handbook of Methods Data Concepts page: https://www.bls.gov/opub/hom/soii/data.htm.
