Description of the correction
In the occupational accidents of wage and salary earners
and self-employed persons, 7,197 occupational accidents were recorded as
occupational accidents leading to disability of 0 to 3 days due to a data
supplier error and these were corrected to occupational accidents leading to
disability of at least four days. Wage and salary earners had 6,849 accidents
at work and self-employed persons 348 accidents at work.
The preliminary release on occupational accidents 2020 and
the preliminary release on occupational accidents 2021 were corrected
concerning the sections on wage and salary earners' accidents at work as
regards the length of disability.
Occupational accidents leading to disability of at least
four days are used in the calculation of wage and salary earners' accident
frequency and accident incidence rates. Wage and salary earners' accident
incidence rates and accident frequency were corrected in the release of
occupational accident statistics 2020. The release of occupational accidents
2021 was corrected to the extent that the data for 2020 were used as comparison
data.
