1 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) 

 

2 Days-away-from-work cases include those that result in days away from work with or without job transfer or restriction. 

3 High rate industries were those having the highest incidence rate of injury and illness cases with days away from work and at least 500 total 

recordable cases at the most detailed level of publication based on the North American Industry Classification System -- United States 2012.

Independent mining contractors are excluded. These data do not reflect the 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 in other industries.

6 Excludes farms with fewer than 11 employees.
