    (1) 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.
    (2) 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, 
        EH = total hours worked by all employees during the calendar year,  
        20,000,000 = base for 10,000 equivalent full-time workers (working 40 hours per week, 50 weeks per year).
