Note: Days-away-from-work cases
include those which result in days away from work with or without restricted
work activity.
Due to rounding and nonclassifiable responses, data may not sum to the totals.
To calculate the percent out of the number of
nonfatal occupational injuries and illnesses that occurred in a particular
industry type that affected certain body parts, divide the number in a certain
body part category affected by 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 the particular industry
type and multiply the result by 100. Example: Calculate the percent of nonfatal
occupational injuries and illnesses that occurred in manufacturing that affected
the head. This calculation would be: 22,800/317,300=.072
and .072x100=7.2%
