1 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 2 Days-away-from-work cases include those that resulted in days away from work, some of which also included job transfer or restriction. 3 These occupations have at least 0.1% of full-time equivalent employment. 4 Includes nonclassifiable responses. Note: Dash indicates data do not meet publication guidelines. Because of rounding and data exclusion of nonclassifiable responses, data may not sum to the totals.
