Broaden the application to cover reactive hazards resulting from process-specific conditions and combinations of chemicals. Additionally, broaden coverage of hazards from self-reactive chemicals. In expanding PSM coverage, use objective criteria. Consider criteria such as the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS), a reactive hazard classification system (e.g., based on heat of reaction or toxic gas evolution), incident history, or catastrophic potential. 

A performance-based system-rather than a list of reactive chemicals -is suggested as another alternative for extending regulatory coverage of reactive hazards. Such a system would consider the risk of reactive chemicals, site-specific (extrinsic) factors such as siting and proximity, and conditions that create potentially reactive situations. Objective criteria such as the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes, accident history, or number of employees could be used to establish coverage. 

In 1997, the SIC classification was replaced by the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS).2 The system is a major revision based on six-digit numerical codes, and it allows for new or relatively new industries to be included in what is termed Chemical Manufacturing. It also reorganizes all categories on a production/process-oriented basis. Further, NAICS establishes a common numerical code among Canada, Mexico, and the United States that is... 

There is no single definition of the chemical industry or a universal categorization of the industry s subsectors. There are, in fact, numerous ways of identifying subsectors of the chemical industry, including, according to the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes (US OMB, 1987), the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) (US OMB, 2000), the European Union NACE Codes for the nomenclature of economic activities,1 the Japanese standard industrial classification,2 and according to S P definitions (S P, 2004), to name a few. 

A variety of controlled vocabiilary codes can be used in some sources for more precise search results. Examples include the North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS), healthcare common procediire coding system (HCPCS), current procediiral terminology (CPT), Universal Medical Device Nomenclature System (UMDNS), and the International Classification of Disease (ICD). However, it is not always easy to determine which information soimce uses which code, if any, and which procedure or disease state the codes cover.

The system for classification of operations or work activity used to be the Standard Industrial Classificalion (SIC) system. SIC codes did not handle many new kinds of work and international commerce. In 1997, the United States adopted a new system called the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). Some kinds of work had to have major changes in classifications. 

The OSHA incidence rates are based upon 200,000 hours of exposure—equivalent to a company with 100 employees, each working 2,000 hours in a calendar year. This corresponds to what an average full-time employee would work in a 40-hour week during a 52-week year (minus two weeks for vacation and holidays). Using this exposure value of 200,000 hours allows for comparisons between equal 100 full-time employee establishments. These comparisons can be made between different establishments and comparisons within the same establishment between different subgroups. Comparisons can also be made between the establishment s OSHA incidence rate and national estimates of incidence rates based upon Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) Codes and the new North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). 

North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) replaces the U.S. Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) system. NAICS is the first-ever North American industry classification system. The U.S., Canada, and Mexico developed the system to provide comparable statistics across the three countries.

Nonmetallic Mineral Products Industry Indexes http //minerals.usgs.gov/minerals/pubs/ imii/ (accessed July 11, 2010). The USGS has prepared leading and coincident indexes for the Nonmetallic Mineral Products Industry (NAICS 327). The former name for this industry was the Stone, Clay, Glass, and Concrete Products Industry (SIC 32) under the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) system. The SIC has been replaced by the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). These indexes are similar to the ones in Metal Industry Indicators. The latest report for these indexes, November 2004, is available in PDF format. Historical data for these new indexes are available back to 1948. See also the section on Statistics for a discussion on the Statistical Compendium (U.S. Bureau of Mines) and the USGS Commodity Statistics and Information. 

For risk assessment purposes, national data for injuries, illnesses and fatalities may be obtained from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) website at www.bls.gov/iif. The annual data, beginning in 2003, are grouped by the North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) that assigns a numeric code for each t5T)e of work establishment. Prior to 2003, the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) system was used to categorize the data instead of NAICS.
