Rate ................................................................... 3.0 2.9 2.8 2.5 2.2 2.1 2.0 1.9

1 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 full-time equivalent workers (working 40 hours per week, 50 weeks per year).

2 Total private industry data exclude farms with fewer than 11 employees.

3 Data conforming to Occupational Safety and Health Administration definitions for mining operators in coal, metal, and nonmetal mining and

for employees in railroad transportation are provided to BLS by the Mine Safety and Health Administration, U.S. Department of Labor and

the Federal Railroad Administration, U.S. Department of Transportation. Independent mining contractors are excluded from the coal, metal,

and nonmetal mining industries.

1 Hours worked figures are annual average estimates of total hours worked by private

industry wage and salary earners, 16 years of age and older, from the Current Population

Survey (CPS). The estimates include hours worked by employees for whom work in the

industry is their primary job, as well as employees for whom work in the industry is their

second job. 2 To maintain consistency with the CPS estimates, injuries and illnesses incurred by

workers under the age of 16 and workers for whom age was not specified were not

included in the table. 3 Days-away-from-work cases include those that result in days away from work with or

without restricted work activity. 4 The occupational group referred to in this table as ìCooks, kitchen workers, and other

food preparation occupationsî includes the following detailed occupations: Cooks; kitchen

workers, food preparation; and miscellaneous food preparation occupations. The group

referred to as ìWaiters, waitresses, and their assistantsî includes waiters and waitresses,

and waiters'/waitresses', assistants. And ìManagers, supervisors, and proprietorsî includes managers, food serving and lodging establishments; supervisors, food preparation

and service occupations; and supervisors and proprietors, sales occupations.

Table 5. Incidence rates1 for fatal workplace injuries and homicides, all U.S. industries combined and the eating and

drinking places industry, 1992-99

Total, all industries:

All fatal injuries .......................................................... 5.2 5.2 5.3 4.9 4.8 4.8 4.5 4.5

Homicides ................................................................. .9 .9 .9 .8 .7 .7 .5 .5

Eating and drinking places:

All fatal injuries .......................................................... 3.3 3.3 2.9 2.7 2.6 2.3 1.7 2.1

Homicides ................................................................. 2.5 2.4 2.1 1.9 2.1 1.7 1.1 1.4

1The incidence rate represents the number of fatal occupational injuries per 100,000 employed workers and was calculated as: (N/W) x

100,000, where:

N = number of fatal work injuries

W = number of employed workers

 Employment figures are annual average estimates of private industry wage and salary earners and self-employed civilians, 16 years of

age and older, from the Current Population Survey (CPS). Fatally injured workers under the age of 16 were not included in the rate

calculations to maintain consistency with CPS estimates.
