1. Mainly upper limb disorders.
2. GB figures may exceed the sum of the countries because they include a small number of individuals who developed industrial diseases in Great Britain but currently reside abroad.
3. For deafness, figures relate to calendar years.
4. For VWF, fluctuations in the number of cases are less likely to reflect real changes in disease incidence and more likely to be due to other influences on sufferers’ propensity to claim compensation.
5. To maintain the anonymity of customers all 100% data has been rounded to the nearest 5. Therefore totals may not sum.
