work activity.
Due to rounding and nonclassifiable responses, data in the "Male"
and "Female" columns may not sum to data in the "Total"
column.
To calculate the percent out of the number of
nonfatal occupational injuries and illnesses that occurred in a particular
industry type that involved males or females, divide the number of males or
females who were involved in nonfatal occupational injuries and illnesses
that occurred in a particular industry type by the total number of nonfatal
occupational injuries and illnesses that occurred in that particular industry
type and multiply the result by 100. Example: Calculate the percent of males
who were involved in nonfatal occupational injuries and illnesses out of the
total number of nonfatal occupational injuries and illnesses that occurred
in manufacturing. This calculation would be: 238,200/317,300=.751 and .751x100=75.1%
