Prior to 2003 all state and national estimates were based on the SIC system. Because of substantial differences between the SIC system and NAICS, users are advised against making comparisons between the 2005 industrial categories and the results for years prior to 2003. 5 Total lost workday cases involve days away from work, days of restricted work activity, or both.

Financial Activities Industry Case & Demographic Data
• Workers aged 35 to 44 had the highest number of nonfatal occupational injuries and illnesses in
the financial activities industry • Most injuries were caused by overexertion or contact with objects or equipment • Sprains and strains, along with cuts and lacerations, made up nearly half of all nonfatal injuries
or illnesses in 2005 • Upper extremities (arm, wrist, hand, finger and/or elbow) and the back were the parts of body
most commonly affected by injuries and illnesses
Event or Exposure Age
Nature of Injury Part of Body
1 Source: United States Census Bureau 2 Source: Summary estimates based on Bureau of Labor Statistics Survey 3 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) 4 Massachusetts did not publish estimates for calendar year 2003. Prior to 2003 all state and national estimates were based on the SIC system. Because of substantial differences between the SIC system and NAICS, users are advised against making comparisons between the 2005 industrial categories and the results for years prior to 2003. 5 Total lost workday cases involve days away from work, days of restricted work activity, or both.
