| 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). |
| Unit of measure |

| 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. |
