..  Not applicable.

*  Sample numbers too small to provide reliable estimates.

$ For people taking time off work.

# Includes those who did not answer the question identifying the job to which their injury was ascribed and those who said their injury was ascribed to a job other than their current or most recent in the last 12 months.

+ See Appendix 4 in the 'Self-reported work-related illness in 2004/05' (SWI04/05) report for details of Standard Occupational Classification.

Figures in italics are estimates based on fewer than 40 sample cases.

Estimated days lost and days lost per worker due to workplace injuries include all those sustained as a result of a non-road traffic accident, not just reportable injuries resulting in over 3 days of absence from work.
