Notes:

95% C.I.: 95% confidence interval, the range within which we are 95% confident that the true value lies in the absence of bias.

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. All workplace injuries include all those sustained as a result of a non-road traffic accident, regardless.
