Table INJIND1_3YR - Averaged 2006/07-2008/09

Estimated incidence and rates of self-reported reportable non-fatal injury to workers, by industry section and division, for people working in the last 12 months, averaged 2006/07-2008/09

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.

+ Details of Standard Industrial Classification (1992)

The breakdown by industry section and division for 2008/09 onwards may not be entirely consistent with those of previous years. This is because a new Standard Industrial Classification, SIC2007, has been introduced to replace the existing classification, SIC92. To allow comparisons with earlier years, each class under SIC2007 has been mapped to a division and section under SIC92, according to the assumed relationship between the two classifications. It is currently assumed that the effect of the changes on the time series is not significant, but further analysis is being undertaken by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) to verify this.

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

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

Figures in italics are estimates based on fewer than 30 sample cases.
