** No Data Collected in 2003
1 Source: United States Census Bureau 2 Source: Summary estimates based on Bureau of Labor Statistics Survey 3 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) 4 A note about time series comparisons: Massachusetts did not publish an estimate for calendar year 2003. Prior to 2003 all state and national estimates were based on the SIC system. Because of substantial differences between the SIC system and NAICS, users are advised against making comparisons between the 2004 industrial categories and the results for previous years. In addition, the estimates from the 2002 survey are not comparable with those from prior years because of a break in series between 2001 and 2002 due to record keeping. The survey was not designed to be able to determine the impact of the revision on the estimates of nonfatal occupational injuries and illnesses. 5 Total lost workday cases involve days away from work, days of restricted work activity, or both.
NOTE: Because of rounding, components may not add to totals. SOURCE: Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor, Survey of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses, in cooperation with participating State agencies, 2005.
