In the seecond
step,
the profes ssion distribution
per industry
is ca alculated viaa
a matrix based b on
the SICC
code (OCCCUPATIONA
AL HEALTH AND SAFE ETY ADMINIS STRATION 1992).
In th he table
elementts
of the maatrix,
the nu umber of poositions
of each e profession
in every
single industry
is
presentted.
From thhis,
the emp ployee profile
of each industry
can n be identifieed.
3.5 SSeconds
oof
labour per VA
The secconds
of labour
per va alue added are derive ed from the U.S. Economic
Census
(U.S.
CENSUSS
BUREAU 11997).
This s statistic ggives
inform mation abou ut the nummber
of employees,
averagee
number off
production n workers, pproduction
workers' ho ours, cost of contract work w and
the valuue
added. TThe
value ad dded given in the statis stic is calcu ulated from tthe
income through
the salee
of the prooduced
goo ods less thee
expenditu ures for aux xiliary mateerials,
interm mediates
and/or resources and the expenditurees
for sub bcontracting g. The value
added for the
calculattion
of the sseconds
of labour per VA – relation
is theref fore correctted
by this number.
The woorking
time is only qu uoted for wworkers,
no ot for appo ointees. It iis
assumed d in the
methodology,
that an appointe ee works the
same hou urs per year r as a workeer.
3.6 QQualificattional
labo our profilee
of the ind dustry
In the next
step, thhe
total work king time peer
value add ded can be broken dowwn
with the e support
of the taables
and mmatrixes
ge enerated in the steps before. b The result is a qualificatio on profile
of each industry per
value ad dded generrated.
This qualification n profile shhows
the am mount of
workingg
time in eacch
of the fiv ve qualificattion
levels to t generate one Euro vvalue
added d. These
values, same as thhe
total wor rking to gennerate
one Euro E value added, varry
between different
industriees.

For thee
calculationn
of non-fa atal injuriess,
two kinds s of data are a availabble
(UNITED STATES
DEPARTTMENT
OF LAABOR
1999) : The injuriees
listed as injury rates s, as well ass
absolute numbers n
of injuries
per inddustry.
The injury ratees
present the numbe ers of injurries
per pe erformed
workingg
time. Thesse
rates are e corresponnding
with the
risk of th he employeees
to get in njured in
the speecific
industrry.
The abs solute ratess
give the to otal number
of injuriess
without ta aking the
total number
of emmployees
in the specificc
industry in nto account t. In the conntext
of the e method
describeed
here, thhe
non – fa atal injuriess
have to be b related to t the totall
working time
and
respectively
to the
value ad dded in orrder
to cla assify them m to the ddifferent
pro ocesses.
Therefoore,
the ratee
of non-fata al injuries iss
used.
