| Note: |
| 1. |
|
This table contains findings of a survey performed by the Statistics and Information Department of the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, on the rates of deaths and
injuries requiring an absence of 1 day or more in the calendar years 2002 and 2003 at about 14,000 workplaces which employed more than 100 workers and belonging to
those lines of industry which are enumerated in this table. |
| 2. |
|
The lines of industry enumerated in this table are in line with the Japan Standard Industry Classification, excluding the construction and transportation industries.
|
| 3. |
|
“Construction (General)” covers construction sites for which the contract price exceeds ¥190 million or where the approximate premiums under the Workmen’s Accident
Compensation Insurance were in excess of ¥1.6 million (As for constructions that were put under contract on or before March 31, 1999, “Construction (General)” covers
construction sites for which the contract price exceeds ¥120 million or where the approximate premiums under the Workmen’s Accident Compensation Insurance were in
excess of ¥1 million). However, it does not cover projects for the installation of machinery and appliances, electric work and plumbing.
|
| 4. |
|
The totals for “All industries” are those of the surveyed industries. The totals for the surveyed industries do not include “Construction (General).”
|
| 5. |
|
The accident frequency rate is expressed in terms of the number of deaths and injuries in occupational accidents per 1 million work-hours in the aggregate. The rate is
gained by dividing the number of deaths and injuries (multiplied by 1 million) in occupational accidents that occurred during the survey period by the aggregate number of
work-hours for all workers who were exposed to risks in the same period. |

|
The accident severity rate is expressed in terms of the number of workdays lost per 1,000 work-hours in the aggregate. The rate is gained by dividing the number of
workdays lost (multiplied by 1,000) in occupational accidents that occurred during the survey period by the aggregate number of work-hours for all workers who were
exposed to risks in the same period. |
