$ Using data from the Labour Force Survey (LFS), the industry headings show estimates of % reporting levels and reportable non-fatal injury rates for respective top level industry. This is for information only and this adjustment has not been made to the RIDDOR reported non-fatal injury rates for the lower level industry categories.
† Data for 2005/6 unavailable due to small number of survey responses during data collection.
