                      WORKPLACE INJURIES AND ILLNESSES IN 2005

      Nonfatal workplace injuries and illnesses occurred at a rate of 4.6 cases per 100 
equivalent full-time workers among private industry employers in 2005, according to the Survey 
of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), U.S. Department 
of Labor.  This was a decline from the rate of 4.8 cases per 100 equivalent full-time workers 
reported by the BLS for 2004.  The rate resulted from a total of 4.2 million nonfatal injuries and 
illnesses in private industry workplaces during 2005, relatively unchanged compared to 2004, 
and a 2 percent increase in the number of hours worked.  Incidence rates for injuries and illnesses 
combined declined significantly in 2005 for most case types, with the exception of cases with 
days away from work.  (See table 1 and chart 2.)  
      
      This release is the second in a series of three releases from the BLS covering 
occupational safety and health statistics in 2005.  The first release, in August 2006, covered 
work-related fatalities from the 2005 National Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries.  In 
November 2006, a third release will provide details from the Survey of Occupational Injuries and 
Illnesses on the more seriously injured and ill workers and on the circumstances of their injuries 
and illnesses.  “More seriously” is defined in this survey as cases requiring at least one day away 
from work to recuperate.  
      
      Goods-producing industries as a whole had an injury and illness incidence rate of 6.2 
cases per 100 equivalent full-time workers, while service-providing industries had a rate of 4.1 
cases per 100 equivalent full-time workers.  The incidence rate for goods-producing industries 
declined by 0.3 cases and the rate for service-providing industries fell by 0.1 case per 100 
equivalent full-time workers compared to the rates reported for 2004.  Among goods-producing

industry sectors, incidence rates during 2005 ranged from 3.6 cases per 100 full-time workers in 
mining to 6.3 cases per 100 full-time workers in construction and in manufacturing.  (See table 1.)  
While rates among service-providing industry sectors ranged up to 7.0 cases per 100 full-time 
workers in transportation and warehousing, finance and insurance had the lowest rate within this 
domain at 1.0 case.  Despite this low rate, finance and insurance was the only industry sector to 
experience a statistically significant increase in the overall incidence rate in 2005, rising by 
0.1 case per 100 full-time workers. 
      
      Small establishments (those employing 1 to 10 workers) reported the lowest rate for 
injuries and illnesses combined (2.0 cases per 100 full-time workers), while mid-size 
establishments (those employing 50 to 249 workers) reported the highest rate (5.8 cases per 100 
full-time workers).  (See table 3.)  While incidence rates remained relatively unchanged for 
establishments employing fewer than 1,000 workers, the rate for large establishments (those 
employing 1,000 or more workers) declined significantly in 2005 to 5.2 cases per 100 full-time 
workers, down from 5.4 in 2004.  
      
      Fourteen industries, each having at least 100,000 injuries and illnesses combined, 
accounted for slightly more than 1.9 million cases (46 percent) of the 4.2 million total.  (See 
table 4.)  These same fourteen industries also reported having at least 100,000 injuries and 
illnesses in both of the previous two years.  Hospitals (NAICS 622) has topped this group of 
industries in each of the last three years, followed by nursing and residential care facilities 
(NAICS 623).  (NAICS is the North American Industry Classification System, which the Survey 
began using in 2003 as the means of classifying businesses by the type of activity in which they 
are primarily engaged.)  
        
      Approximately 2.2 million injuries and illnesses were cases with days away from work, 
job transfer, or restriction; that is, they required recuperation away from work, transfer to another 
job, restricted duties at work, or a combination of these actions.  The remaining 2.0 million 
injuries and illnesses were other recordable cases that did not result in time away from work.  
(See table 2.)  The incidence rate for cases with days away from work, job transfer, or restriction 
was 2.4 cases per 100 workers, and the rate for other recordable cases was 2.2.  Both of these 
rates decreased by 0.1 case per 100 equivalent full-time workers from 2004.  
      
      Cases with days away from work, job transfer, or restriction are comprised of two case 
types; those requiring at least one day away from work, with or without job transfer or 
restriction, and those requiring only job transfer or restriction.  The latter case type may involve 
shortened work hours, a temporary job change, or temporary restrictions on a worker’s regular 
duties; for example, no heavy lifting.  Separately, the rate for cases with days away from work 
was 1.4 cases per 100 workers (unchanged from 2004) and the rate for cases with job transfer or 
restriction was 1.0 case per 100 workers (down from 1.1 cases in 2004).  The rate in 
manufacturing for cases with job transfer or restriction (2.0) was higher than the rate for 
days-away-from-work cases (1.5).  (See chart 1.)  Among the remaining industry sectors included in 
this chart, the rate for cases with days away from work was higher than the rate for cases with 
job transfer or restriction.

Injuries and Illnesses

      Injuries.  Of the 4.2 million nonfatal occupational injuries and illnesses in 2005, 
approximately 4.0 million (94.2 percent) were injuries.  Of these 4.0 million injuries, 2.7 million 
(68 percent) occurred in service-providing industries which employed 79 percent of the private 
sector workforce covered by this survey.  The remaining 1.3 million injuries (32 percent) 
occurred in goods-producing industries which accounted for only 21 percent of the private sector 
employment.  (Employment data are derived primarily from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 
Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages.)  The largest shares of injuries were in the 
manufacturing sector (20 percent), the health care and social assistance sector (16 percent), and 
the retail trade sector (15 percent).  (See table 5 and chart 3.)
      

(Chart 3 appears here in the printed release.)


      Illnesses.  Workplace illnesses accounted for fewer than 6 percent of the 4.2 million 
injury and illness cases in 2005, unchanged from 2004.  There were 242,500 newly reported 
cases of occupational illnesses in private industry in 2005, relatively unchanged from the 
249,000 cases in 2004.  Service-providing industries accounted for approximately 55 percent of 
these cases, while goods-producing industries accounted for 45 percent.  The manufacturing 
sector accounted for nearly 39 percent of all newly reported cases of occupational illnesses.  
(See table 6 and chart 4.)  The “All other illnesses” category accounted for 63 percent of 
total illness cases in 2005, compared to over 65 percent in 2004.  Both the number of cases 
and the incidence rate of “All other illnesses” in private industry experienced a statistically 
significant declined in 2005, while the remaining categories of illness remained relatively unchanged.  
Beginning with the 2004 calendar year, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) 
included “Hearing loss” as a separate illness category.  Hearing loss accounted for 11 percent of all 
illnesses in 2005, relatively unchanged from 2004.  Prior to 2004, hearing loss cases were included in 
the “All other illnesses” category.

	The survey measures the number of new work-related illness cases that are recognized, 
diagnosed, and reported during the year.  Some conditions (for example, long-term latent 
illnesses caused by exposure to carcinogens) often are difficult to relate to the workplace and are 
not adequately recognized and reported.  These long-term latent illnesses are believed to be 
understated in the survey’s illness measures.  In contrast, the overwhelming majority of the 
reported new illnesses are those that are easier to directly relate to workplace activity (for 
example, contact dermatitis or carpal tunnel syndrome).
      
Industry Sectors at a Glance

	Agriculture, forestry, fishing and hunting.  This industry includes a broad range of 
establishments engaged in such activities as growing and farming of fruits, vegetables, and 
flowers to animal ranching and farming, growth and harvesting of timber, and the commercial 
fishing and hunting and trapping of fish and game from their natural habitats.  This small sector 
accounted for slightly less than one percent of private sector employment and slightly more than 
one percent of all injury and illness cases in 2005.  While the incidence rate for this industry 
sector (6.1 cases per 100 full-time workers) was significantly higher than that of private industry 
in 2005, the rate, as well as the number of injury and illness cases, remained relatively 
unchanged from 2004.  

	Mining.  Estimates for this industry sector include data obtained from the Mine Safety 
and Health Administration, as well as data for oil and gas extraction (NAICS 211) and related 
support activities collected as part of this survey.  The incidence rate of injuries and illnesses in 
this industry sector (3.6 cases per 100 full-time workers) was significantly lower than that of 
private industry in 2005.  The number of injury and illness cases, as well as the incidence rate in 
this sector, remained relatively unchanged compared to 2004.  However, the incidence rate for 
cases that involved days of job transfer or restriction rose significantly in 2005 to 0.8 cases per 
100 full-time workers, compared to 0.6 cases in 2004.     

	Construction.  The incidence rate of injuries and illnesses in this industry sector was 6.3 
cases per 100 full-time workers in 2005, relatively unchanged from 2004.  Specialty trade 
contractors (NAICS 238), defined as those establishments whose primary activity is performing 
specific functions involved in building construction, such as masonry, roofing, electrical, 
plumbing, and painting, accounted for the majority of both employment (64 percent) and of 
injury and illness cases (68 percent) and reported the highest rate of injuries and illnesses (6.8 
cases per 100 workers) among the three-digit NAICS industries within construction.  The 
number of cases and the incidence rates remained relatively unchanged in 2005 for the two 
remaining three-digit NAICS industries within construction—construction of buildings (NAICS 236) 
and heavy and civil engineering construction (NAICS 237).  Among four-digit NAICS industries 
within specialty trade contractors, workers employed in foundation, structure, and building 
exterior contractors (NAICS 2381) reported the highest rate in 2005 at 8.5 cases per 100 workers.  
Of the eight industries within NAICS 2381, rates ranged from 6.8 cases per 100 workers for 
masonry contractors (NAICS 238140) to 13.4 cases per 100 workers for framing contractors 
(NAICS 238130) in 2005.  

	Manufacturing.  More than 1 in 5 injury and illnesses cases reported in private industry, 
and nearly 2 in 5 illnesses, occurred in manufacturing in 2005, although this industry accounted 
for only about 13 percent of private sector employment.  While the incidence rate of injuries and 
illnesses for this sector (6.3 cases per 100 workers) declined by 0.3 cases compared to 2004, the 
rate remained significantly higher than that of overall private industry in 2005.  Three 
manufacturing industries were among the fourteen private sector industries reporting 100,000 or 
more cases in 2005.  Transportation equipment manufacturing (NAICS 336) with 146,800 cases, 
fabricated metal product manufacturing (NAICS 332) with 121,800 cases, and food 
manufacturing (NAICS 311) with 114,200 cases, accounted for nearly 43 percent of all cases 
reported in manufacturing, but only one-third of manufacturing employment in 2005.  The injury 
and illness rate for each of these industries was significantly higher than that for the 
manufacturing sector as a whole.  Among these three industries, only the rate for food 
manufacturing changed significantly in 2005, falling by 0.5 cases to 7.7 cases per 100 full-time 
workers.

	Wholesale and Retail trade.  Wholesale trade and Retail trade sectors accounted for 
approximately 1 in 5 private sector employees and an equal number of injury and illness cases in 
2005.  While the incidence rates for wholesale trade remained unchanged at 4.5 cases per 100 
full-time workers, both the number and the rate of injury and illness cases in retail trade declined 
in 2005.  With significant declines in the number of cases and in the rates among electronics and 
appliance stores (NAICS 443) and sporting goods, hobby, book, and music stores (NAICS 451), 
the rate for retail trade fell by 0.3 cases to 5.0 cases per 100 full-time workers.  

	Transportation and warehousing.  This industry includes establishments engaged in 
transportation of passengers and freight via air, water, rail, and ground, as well as warehousing 
and storage of goods, sightseeing transportation, and various related support activities.  This 
sector accounted for nearly 7 percent of all private industry injury and illness cases in 2005, but 
made up only 4 percent of employment.  While the incidence rate of injuries and illnesses in this 
industry sector (7.0 cases per 100 workers) remained relatively unchanged compared to 2004, the 
rate for this sector was significantly higher than that of total private industry in 2005.  None of 
the ten three-digit NAICS industries within this industry sector experienced significant changes 
in their injury and illness incidence rate in 2005. 

	Utilities.  This sector comprises establishments that provide electric power, natural gas, 
water, and sewage removal.  This relatively small industry sector accounted for only about one-half 
of one percent of private industry employment and injury and illness cases in 2005.  The 
injury and illness incidence rate for utilities (4.6 cases per 100 full-time workers) was not 
significantly different from the previous year; however, the number of cases reported in the 
industry did decline significantly in 2005.  Incidence rates for industries in this sector ranged 
from 4.0 cases per 100 workers in electric power generation, transmission, and distribution 
(NAICS 2211) to 7.6 cases for water, sewage, and other systems (NAICS 2213).     

	Information.  This sector, which includes industries such as motion picture and sound 
recording, telecommunications, Internet service providers, and publishing and broadcasting, 
accounted for 1.4 percent of all private industry injury and illness cases, compared to 2.8 percent 
of employment.  Establishments in this industry sector reported injuries and illnesses at a rate of 
2.1 cases per 100 full-time workers in 2005, relatively unchanged from the previous year but 
significantly lower than the rate for private industry as a whole (4.6).  One-third of information 
sector employees were employed in telecommunications (NAICS 517) and another 29 percent 
were employed in publishing industries (except Internet, NAICS 511).  Together these two 
industries accounted for over 72 percent of all injury and illness cases reported in information in 
2005.  Incidence rates in this sector ranged from 0.2 cases per 100 full-time workers in Internet 
publishing and broadcasting (NAICS 516) to 2.6 cases in telecommunications.  

	Financial activities.  This aggregate encompasses two NAICS sectors—finance and 
insurance and real estate and rental and leasing.  Establishments in these sectors reported 
120,600 injuries and illnesses in 2005, resulting in a total recordable case rate of 1.7 cases per 
100 full-time workers.  These two sectors accounted for nearly 3 percent of all private industry 
injury and illness cases in 2005, but represented about 7.3 percent of total private sector 
employment.  The majority (about 55 percent) of the injuries and illnesses in financial activities 
occurred in real estate and rental and leasing, which only employed one-quarter of the workers in 
the aggregate.  The real estate and rental and leasing sector experienced a significantly higher 
rate of total recordable injuries and illnesses than did the finance and insurance sector, with rates 
of 3.7 cases per 100 full-time workers and 1.0 case per 100 full-time workers, respectively, in 
2005.  Both of these sectors experienced rates below that of total private industry (4.6 cases per 
100 full-time workers) in 2005.

	Professional and business services.  The three NAICS sectors included in this industry 
aggregate -- professional, scientific, and technical services; management of companies and 
enterprises; and administrative and support and waste management and remediation services -- 
accounted for more than 15 percent of private sector employment, but less than 7 percent of all 
injury and illness cases and experienced injuries and illnesses at a rate of 2.4 cases per 100 
full-time workers in 2005.  This rate was well below that for all private industry (4.6 cases) 
and was unchanged from the previous year.  Administrative and support and waste management and 
remediation services accounted for nearly 57 percent of all cases in professional and business 
services, but less than 39 percent of employment and experienced a higher rate of injuries and 
illnesses (3.7 cases per 100 full-time workers) than the other two industry sectors within this 
aggregate.  Within administrative and support and waste management and remediation services, 
waste management and remediation services (NAICS 562) experienced injuries and illnesses at a 
rate higher than that of the sector as a whole, reporting a rate of 7.1 cases per 100 full-time 
workers.

	Education services and Health care and social assistance.  While the incidence rate for 
education services remained relatively unchanged in 2005, the rate in health care and social 
assistance declined by 0.3 cases to 5.9 cases per 100 full-time employees.  Health care and social 
assistance is composed of four three-digit NAICS industries—ambulatory health care services 
(NAICS 621), hospitals (NAICS 622), nursing and residential care facilities (NAICS 623), and 
social assistance (NAICS 624).  The decline in the incidence rate for health care and social 
assistance was driven by the decline in both the number of cases and the incidence rate for 
ambulatory health care services, which reported 11 percent fewer cases and a rate that fell by 0.5 
cases to 2.8 cases per 100 full-time workers in 2005.  Incidence rates for the remaining three-digit 
NAICS industries in health care and social assistance were not significantly different in 2005.  
Of the fourteen industries reporting 100,000 or more cases in 2005, three were in the health care 
and social assistance sector—hospitals (NAICS 622) with 281,500 cases, nursing and residential care 
facilities (NAICS 623) with 209,100 cases, and ambulatory health care services (NAICS 621) with 
110,600 cases.  Hospitals has topped the list of industries reporting 100,000 or more cases since 
this survey began tabulating NAICS-based estimates in 2003.  The rate of illnesses experienced by 
workers in hospitals was 66.2 cases per 10,000 full-time workers, compared to 26.7 cases for all 
private industry in 2005.  

	Leisure and hospitality.  This industry aggregate includes two NAICS sectors—arts, 
entertainment, and recreation and accommodation and food services.  Accommodation and food 
services, including hotels and motels, restaurants, and drinking places, accounted for 
approximately 85 percent of employment and 82 percent of cases in this industry aggregate in 
2005.  Arts, entertainment, and recreation includes such industries as performance arts, spectator 
sports, performers and their respective agents and promoters, as well as museums, amusement 
parks, and gambling industries and accounted for the remaining 18 percent of cases and 15 
percent of employment in this aggregate.  While the injury and illness incidence rates for these 
sectors remained relatively unchanged from 2004, the rate for arts, entertainment, and recreation 
(6.1 cases per 100 full-time workers) in 2005 was higher than the rate for accommodation and 
food services (4.5 cases per 100 workers).  Nearly 61 percent (241,300) of all injury and illness 
cases reported in leisure and hospitality occurred in food service and drinking places (NAICS 722).  
Two industries within accommodation and food services were among fourteen industries in 2005 that 
reported 100,000 or more cases in each of the last three years.  Full-service restaurants 
(NAICS 7221), typically “sit-down” restaurants, and limited-service eating places (NAICS 7222), 
such as cafeterias or fast-food restaurants, reported 111,700 cases and 103,300 cases, respectively, 
in 2005.  Neither of these industries experienced a significant change in the rate or count of 
total recordable cases in 2005.                        

	Other services.  This diverse industry sector comprises establishments that provide 
services, but are not accounted for elsewhere in the NAICS structure, including everything from 
repair and maintenance of automobiles to cemeteries and crematories to nail and beauty salons, 
dry cleaning, and religious, civic, professional, and similar organizations.  Other services 
accounted for less than 4 percent of total private sector employment and only slightly more than 
2 percent of all injury and illness cases in 2005.  The incident rate of injuries and illnesses 
in this sector remained unchanged in 2005 at 3.2 cases per 100 full-time workers.  Repair and 
maintenance (NAICS 811) accounted for nearly half of all injury and illness cases reported in 
this sector.  

Background of the Survey

      The Survey of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses is a Federal/State program in which 
employer reports were collected from about 182,400 private industry establishments in 2005 and 
processed by State agencies cooperating with the Bureau of Labor Statistics.  The survey 
measures nonfatal injuries and illnesses only and excludes the self-employed; farms with fewer 
than 11 employees; private households; Federal government agencies; and, for national 
estimates, employees in State and local government agencies.

      The survey provides estimates of the number and frequency (incidence rates) of nonfatal 
workplace injuries and illnesses based on logs kept by private industry employers during the 
year.  These records reflect not only the year’s injury and illness experience, but also the 
employer’s understanding of which cases are work related under recordkeeping rules revised by 
the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, U.S. Department of Labor and made 
effective on January 1, 2002.  Effective January 1, 2004, OSHA further revised the 
recordkeeping rules by adding hearing loss as a separately identified illness category.

      The survey measures the number of new work-related illness cases that are recognized, 
diagnosed, and reported during the year.  While the overwhelming majority of newly reported 
illnesses are those that can easily be linked to workplace activity (for example, contact dermatitis 
or carpal tunnel syndrome), some long-term latent illnesses (for example, those resulting from 
exposure to carcinogens) are not adequately recognized and reported due to the difficulty in 
relating them to the workplace and are believed to be understated in the survey’s illness measures.  
      
      Occupational injury and illness data for coal, metal, and nonmetal mining and for railroad 
activities were provided by the Department of Labor’s Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) 
and the Department of Transportation’s Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), respectively.  
MSHA has not adopted the revised OSHA recordkeeping requirements for 2005.  Therefore, estimates for 
coal, metal, and nonmetal mining are not comparable with estimates for other industries.  FRA adopted 
the revised OSHA recordkeeping requirements in June 2003.  Therefore, estimates for railroad activities 
for 2005 can be compared to estimates for other industries.  However, estimates for railroad activities 
in 2005 should not be compared to estimates for railroad activities from years prior to 2004.
      
      The survey estimates of occupational injuries and illnesses are based on a scientifically 
selected probability sample, rather than a census of the entire population.  Because the data are 
based on a sample survey, the injury and illness estimates probably differ from the figures that 
would be obtained from all units covered by the survey.  To determine the precision of each 
estimate, a standard error was calculated.  The standard error defines a range (confidence 
interval) around the estimate.  The approximate 95-percent confidence interval is the estimate 
plus or minus twice the standard error.  The standard error also can be expressed as a percent of 
the estimate, or the relative standard error.  For example, the 2005 incidence rate for all 
occupational injuries and illnesses of 4.6 cases per 100 full-time workers in private industry has 
an estimated relative standard error of about 0.6 percent.  The 95-percent confidence interval 
would be 4.6 plus or minus 1.2 percent (2 times 0.6 percent) or 4.54 to 4.66.  One can be 95 
percent confident that the “true” incidence rate falls within the confidence interval.  A relative 
standard error was calculated for each estimate from the survey and will be available on the BLS 
Internet site at https://www.bls.gov/iif/home.htm.  All findings in this release have been tested 
and found to be statistically significant using the 95-percent confidence interval.
      
	The number of injuries and illnesses reported in any year can be influenced by the level 
of economic activity, working conditions and work practices, worker experience and training, 
and the number of hours worked.  The data also are subject to nonsampling error.  The inability 
to obtain information about all cases in the sample, mistakes in recording or coding the data, and 
definition difficulties are examples of nonsampling error in the survey.  Nonsampling errors are 
not measured.  However, BLS has implemented quality assurance procedures to minimize nonsampling 
error in the survey.
      
      Goods-producing industry sectors consist of the following: agriculture, forestry, fishing, 
and hunting; mining; construction; and manufacturing.  Service-providing industry sectors 
include: wholesale trade; retail trade; transportation and warehousing; utilities; information; 
finance and insurance; real estate and rental and leasing; professional, scientific, and technical 
services; management of companies and enterprises; administrative and support and waste 
management and remediation services; educational services; health care and social assistance; 
arts, entertainment, and recreation; accommodation and food services; and other services (except 
public administration).  BLS has generated estimates of injuries and illnesses for many of the 2-, 
3-, 4-, 5-, and 6-digit private sector industries as defined in the 2002 North American Industry 
Classification System Manual.  Because of space limitations, a complete listing of these 
estimates is not possible in this release.  The information is available from BLS staff on 202-691-6170 
and from the BLS Internet site at https://www.bls.gov/iif/home.htm.

  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 Totals include data for industries not shown separately.
  3 North American Industry Classification System -- United States, 2002
  4 Employment is expressed as an annual average and is derived primarily from the BLS-Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW) program.
  5 Days-away-from-work cases include those that result in days away from work with or without job transfer or restriction.
  6 Excludes farms with fewer than 11 employees.
  7 Data for Mining (Sector 21 in the North American Industry Classification System-- United States, 2002) include establishments not governed by the Mine Safety and Health Administration rules and reporting, such as those in Oil and
Gas Extraction and related support activities.  Data for mining operators in coal, metal, and nonmetal mining are provided to BLS by the Mine Safety and Health Administration, U.S. Department of Labor.  Independent mining contractors
are excluded from the coal, metal, and nonmetal mining industries.  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.
  8 Data for mining operators in this industry are provided to BLS by the Mine Safety and Health Administration, U.S. Department of Labor.  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.
  9 Data for employers in railroad transportation are provided to BLS by the Federal Railroad Administration, U.S. Department of Transportation.
 10 Fewer than 15 cases.
 11 Incidence rate less than 0.05.

  6 Data for Mining (Sector 21 in the North American Industry Classification System-- United States, 2002) include establishments not governed by the Mine Safety and Health Administration rules and reporting, such as those in Oil and
Gas Extraction and related support activities.  Data for mining operators in coal, metal, and nonmetal mining are provided to BLS by the Mine Safety and Health Administration, U.S. Department of Labor.  Independent mining contractors
are excluded from the coal, metal, and nonmetal mining industries.  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.

  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)

  3 Data for Mining (Sector 21 in the North American Industry Classification System-- United States, 2002) include establishments not governed by the Mine Safety and Health Administration rules and 
reporting, such as those in Oil and Gas Extraction and related support activities.  Data for mining operators in coal, metal, and nonmetal mining are provided to BLS by the Mine Safety and Health 
Administration, U.S. Department of Labor.  Independent mining contractors are excluded from the coal, metal, and nonmetal mining industries.  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.
  4 Data for employers in railroad transportation are provided to BLS by the Federal Railroad Administration, U.S. Department of Transportation.

  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)

  1 The incidence rates represent the number of injuries per 100 full-time workers and were calculated as:  (N/EH) x 200,000, where                  
     
     N      =  number of injuries                                    
     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 Totals include data for industries not shown separately.
  3 North American Industry Classification System -- United States, 2002
  4 Employment is expressed as an annual average and is derived primarily from the BLS-Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW) program.
  5 Excludes farms with fewer than 11 employees.
  6 Data for Mining (Sector 21 in the North American Industry Classification System-- United States, 2002) include establishments not governed by the Mine Safety and Health Administration 
rules and reporting, such as those in Oil and Gas Extraction and related support activities.  Data for mining operators in coal, metal, and nonmetal mining are provided to BLS by the Mine 
Safety and Health Administration, U.S. Department of Labor.  Independent mining contractors are excluded from the coal, metal, and nonmetal mining industries.  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.  7 Data for mining operators in this industry are provided to BLS by the Mine Safety and Health 
Administration, U.S. Department of Labor.  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.
  8 Data for employers in railroad transportation are provided to BLS by the Federal Railroad Administration, U.S. Department of Transportation.
  9 Fewer than 50 cases.

  1 The incidence rates represent the number of illnesses per 10,000 full-time workers and were calculated as:  (N/EH) x 20,000,000, where
     
     N         =  number of 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)
     
  2 Excludes farms with fewer than 11 employees.
  3 Data for Mining (Sector 21 in the North American Industry Classification System-- United States, 2002) include establishments not governed by the Mine Safety and Health Administration rules and reporting, such as those in Oil and
Gas Extraction and related support activities.  Data for mining operators in coal, metal, and nonmetal mining are provided to BLS by the Mine Safety and Health Administration, U.S. Department of Labor.  Independent mining contractors
are excluded from the coal, metal, and nonmetal mining industries.  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.
  4 Data for employers in railroad transportation are provided to BLS by the Federal Railroad Administration, U.S. Department of Transportation.
  5 Incidence rate less than 0.05.
  6 Fewer than 50 cases.
  
  NOTE:  Because of rounding, components may not add to totals.

  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 Excludes farms with fewer than 11 employees.
  4 Data for Mining (Sector 21 in the North American Industry Classification System-- United States, 2002) include establishments not governed by the Mine Safety and Health Administration rules and reporting, such as those in Oil and
Gas Extraction and related support activities.  Data for mining operators in coal, metal, and nonmetal mining are provided to BLS by the Mine Safety and Health Administration, U.S. Department of Labor.  Independent mining contractors
are excluded from the coal, metal, and nonmetal mining industries.  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.
  5 Data for employers in railroad transportation are provided to BLS by the Federal Railroad Administration, U.S. Department of Transportation.
  
  NOTE:  Because of rounding, components may not add to totals.
