Incidence rates (per 100 full-time workers) of nonfatal occupational injuries and illnesses by selected industries and case types for Missouri private industry in 2003 are shown in Table 1. The incidence rates represent the number of injuries and illnesses per 100 full-time workers and were calculated as: (N/EH) x 200,000 where

| EH | = total hours worked by all employees during calendar year |
| 200,000 | = base for 100 equivalent full-time workers (working 40 hours per week, 50 weeks per year). |
The incidence rates are presented for total recordable cases; cases with days away from work, job transfer, or restriction; and other recordable cases. Cases with days away from work, job transfer, or restriction are divided into total cases, cases with days away from work, and cases with job transfer or restriction. Days away from work cases include those that result in days away from work with or without job transfer or restriction.
