1 Standard Industrial Classification Manual, 1987 Edition. 2 See discussion on reliability of estimates. 3 Total lost workday cases involve days away from work, or days of

restricted work activity, or both. 4 Cases with days away from work are those cases which result in

days away from work, or a combination of days away from work and days

of restricted work activity. 5 Relative standard errors were not calculated for coal and lignite

mining (SIC 12), metal and nonmetal mining (SIC 10 and SIC 14), and

railroads (SIC 40). 6 Percent relative standard error less than 0.5.

 NOTE: n.e.c. = not elsewhere classified. – Indicates data not available.
