* Sample numbers too small to provide reliable estimates.

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

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

^Within occupation major groups, some sub-major, minor and unit group information has been provided where some of the categories have sufficiently large sample cases to provide reliable estimates.

Figures in italics are estimates based on fewer than 30 sample cases.
