Non-fatal workplace injuries and illnesses

Estimates of non-fatal work-related injury and illness are calculated by the Central Statistics Office (CSO). Each year the CSO conducts a special module on work-related injuries and illnesses in the Labour Force Survey. Around 16,000 households are surveyed about work-related injuries or illnesses that occurred to workers during the previous 12 months. The most recent data available relates to 2019. 

A more detailed breakdown of fatal and non-fatal injuries is available in our Annual Review of Workplace Injury, Illness and Fatality Statistics.
