For further information, please refer to data sources[26].

Additionally, occupational lung disease mortality tables with breakdowns by sex are presented in the following tables:

Injuries

The Labour Force Survey represents our preferred source for non-fatal workplace injury data. It is supplemented by information on reported injuries under the Reporting of Injuries Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulation (RIDDOR) system. RIDDOR also provides the lead source for data on fatal work-related injuries.

Annually updated estimates and incidence rates of non-fatal injuries to people working in the last twelve months are based on responses to the Labour Force Survey and gender breakdowns are presented in the following table:

LFSINJAGE (.xlsx) [48] Official Statistics logo – Work-related injury in Great Britain by age and gender
