Notes:
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.
- Definitions and data reliability
- See Table INJGOR1_3YRSIG for tests of statistical significance.
- Research by the Institute of Employment Research (IER) indicates that differing rates of non-fatal injury between regions is largerly explained by the industry/occupational profiles of the working population in those regions.
