14 FOOTNOTES: Includes 28 reporting units that did not operate or were "excluded" for editorial reasons. Includes the three subsequent groups (in parenthesis) for which individual rates are also shown. u. S. rates shown are preliminary figures. A B c NONE No rates published where less than three reporting units were recorded in the current period. No U. s. rate available. U, s. rate here shown is that for the industry most closely in conformance with the definition used by this department. Indicates that no disabling work injuries were reported in the period covered. TECHNICAL NOTES: The Injury Frequency Rate is the average number of disabling work injuries for each million employee hours worked. A Disabling Work Injury is any injury occurring in the course of and arising out of employment which (A) results in death or any degree of permanent physical impairment, or (B) makes the injured worker unable to perform the duties of any regularly established job, which is open and available to him throughout the hours corresponding to his regular shift, on any one or more days after the day of the injury (including Sundays, days off, and plant shutdowns). The term Injury includes industrial disease. The Industry Classifications shown conform to the definitions of the 1945 edition of the Standard Industrial Classification Manual, Vol. 1, Manufacturing Industries, prepared by the D:hrision of Statistical Standards of the U. s. Bureau of the Budget. These data were compiled according to the "American Standard Method of Recording and Measuring Work Injury Experience, 11 approved by the American Standards Association, Contrary to procedures in the U. S. Department of Labor, Bureau of La. bor Statistics, Maine rates are computed for industries having a minimum of three reporting units, regardless of total manhours. This practice accounts for large fluctuations in the rates for smaller industries in the state--for based upon a million hours, one injury equals 1.0 frequency rate; those with less than one million hours in a reporting period tend to be distorted as the rates will exceed the total number of injuries. - 6-
