Notes

(a) per 100 000 workers
(b) per 100 000 employees
(c) 95% confidence intervals are given in brackets. They represent the range of uncertainty resulting from the estimate being derived from a sample of people, not from the entire population. They are calculated in such a way that the range has a 95% chance of including the true value in the absence of bias i.e.the value that would have been obtained if the entire population had been surveyed.
n/a Not available (see technical note).
+ Three-year average e.g. 2004/05 - 2006/07 (centred on 2005/06). Note, comparison of averaged 3 year estimates over time involving estimates based on overlapping time periods
will not provide a robust indication of change over time.
