The two main components of this industry grouping, financial intermediation, and real estate renting and business activities, have different work-related ill-health profiles.
In 2007/08 the prevalence rate of self-reported work-related ill-health was of the same order as that for all industries within financial intermediation, but lower within real estate renting and business activities. Incidence rates from the THOR-GP surveillance scheme support this pattern.
Rates of reported injury within the combined group of business and finance are generally lower than in other industries.
The rate of reported major and over-3-day injury in Business and Finance has fallen in recent years, although because of changes in industry recording it is currently unclear whether this trend has extended to 2007/08.
