Notes:

* Sample numbers too small to provide reliable estimates.

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

See section 2.7 and Appendix 3.2 in the SWI03/04 report for more details on prevalence estimates and rates.

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

The estimates in this table are based on the Self-reported Work-related Illness (SWI) surveys in 2001/02, 2003/04 and 2004/05 and take account of revisions madeto the Great Britain population estimates following the 2001 Census. They are not comparable with the results of earlier SWI surveys because of differences indesign, coverage and the level of information collected. Please see Chapter 8 of the SWI01/02 report.

Industry specific rates are restricted to the current or most recent job in the last 12 months, as population denominators are not available for illnesses ascribed toother jobs. Therefore, the estimates for ‘all industries’ will differ from those national estimates relating to illnesses attributed to any current or past job.
