+ See Appendix 5 in the 'Self-reported work-related illness in 2004/05' (SWI04/05) report for details of Standard Industrial Classification.

# Includes those who did not answer the question identifying the job to which their injury was ascribed and those who said their injury was ascribed to a job other than their current or most recent in the last 12 months.

^Within industry sections, some divisional, group and class information has been provided where some of the categories have sufficiently large sample cases to provide reliable estimates.

Reportable workplace injuries include all those sustained as a result of a non-road traffic accident, resulting in over 3 days of absence from work.
