This table provides metadata for the actual indicator available from Liverpool statistics closest to the corresponding global SDG indicator. Please note that even when the global SDG indicator is fully available from Liverpool statistics, this table should be consulted for information on national methodology and other Liverpool-specific metadata information.

Definition and concepts

Occupational injury - Any personal injury, disease or death resulting from an occupational accident.

Fatal occupational injury - An occupational injury leading to death within one year of the day of the occupational accident.

GVA estimates are presented in current basic prices. They do not allow for different regional price levels or changes in prices over time (inflation).

GVA estimates are also presented in “real” terms, with the effect of inflation removed, as chained volume measures (CVM) in indices (2018 equals 100) and in money terms (using 2018 values).

Balanced estimates are produced by combining the existing income and production approach measures using weighted quality metrics (published separately).

Rate of fatal injuries per 100,000 workers and non-fatal occupational injuries per 100,000 employees

Comment and limitations

Injury estimates are not presented for the self-employed, due to severe under-reporting (under-reporting also affects 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.

Other information

Data from RIDREG - RIDDOR reported fatal and non-fatal injuries in Great Britain by country, region and unitary or local authority (.xlsx).

The Annual Population Survey (APS) is the source of employment data used as the denominator for rates of injury in these tables. The rate is constructed by dividing the count of injuries by the employment estimate. This is then multiplied by a factor of 100,000 to give a rate per 100,000 workers, in line with international standards.
