(1) 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; and 200,000 = base for 100 equivalent full-time workers (working 40 hours per week, 50 weeks per year). (2) Excludes farms with fewer than 11 employees. (3) Days-away-from-work cases include those that result in days away from work with or without job transfer or restriction. (4) Data covers all 50 states.
Note: Due to rounding, components may not add to totals. Dashes (-) indicate data not available. SOURCE: U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, in cooperation with state, New York City, District of Columbia, and federal agencies, Survey of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses.
