Notes:

Figures in italics are estimates based on fewer than 40 sample cases.

• Definitions and data reliability
• See Table WDLGORSIG for tests of statistical significance.

Estimated days lost and days lost per worker due to workplace injuries include all those sustained as a result of a non-road traffic accident, not just reportable injuries resulting in over 3 days of absence from work.

For any given region, the sample numbers for illnesses and injuries may not sum to the total, as some cases took time off due to both illnesses and injuries.

Estimates for 2007/08 have been revised (March 2009) due to a reclassification of a small number of cases.
