Injury estimates are not presented for the self-employed, due to severe under-reporting (under-reporting also effects employee reports but to a lesser extent than for the self-employed. While the enforcing authorities are informed about almost all relevant fatal workplace injuries, it is known that non-fatal injuries are substantially under-reported. Currently, it is estimated that around half of all such injuries to employees are reported. These results are achieved by comparing reported non-fatal injuries, with results from the Labour Force Survey - Injuries. |
