1. Rates are shown as the number of cases per 100 full-time-equivalent (FTE) workers. An FTE worker is equal to 2,000 annual hours of work. Includes injuries and illnesses in the private sector and state and local governments. Due to OSHA recordkeeping changes, data for 2002 and later is not comparable with data from earlier years.
