(1) Cases involving days away from work, restricted work activity, or job transfer (DART) are the sum of cases involving days away from work (DAFW) and cases with
restricted work activity or job transfer (DJTR). Days-away-from-work cases include those that resulted in days away from work, some of which may also include
days of job transfer or restriction. Days of job transfer or restriction includes cases involving only days of job transfer or restriction.
(2) 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.
(3) Based on the Occupational Injury and Illness Classification System 2.01 developed by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
(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).
