Footnotes (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 equivalent full-time workers (working 40 hours per week, 50 weeks per year). (2) Days-away-from-work cases include those that result in days away from work, some of which also include job transfer or restriction. (3) Excludes farms with fewer than 11 employees.
