Notes:
- .. Not applicable
- Figures in italics are estimates based on fewer than 30 sample cases
- + Relates to the number of people at their workplace, which is not necessarily the same as the number of people working for the company.
- Missing values differ between the two parts of the table giving 2001/02 data because for 1-49 and 50+, individuals who gave the response 'Don't know but over 24 and under 500' have been coded as missing/unknown.
- See section 2.8 and Appendix 3.2 in the 'Self-reported work-related illness in 2004/05' (SWI04/05) report for more details on incidence estimates and rates.
- The estimates in this table take account of revisions made to the Great Britain population estimates following the 2001 Census.
