In providing these statistics relatively closely to the date the fatality occurred, this means many cases are still under investigation. Consequently, these figures are highly provisional, and may be subject to revision as more relevant information becomes available.

• * The term Workers includes employees and the self-employed combined.
• ¹ These “in-year” figures for services exclude railway incidents reported to the Office of Rail Regulation (ORR).

RIDDOR (The Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations 1995) is the primary determinant as to whether a fatal accident is included in these figures or not. More detail on the technical background can be found in the annual Statistics of Fatal Injuries 2006/07.
