Firstly, the rates may be derived from HSE data from different years. More significantly, the other data may (wrongly) have been adjusted for reporting rate variation between different work activities. HSE advises that this adjustment is only appropriate for ‘top level’ industry groups and not to the constituent individual work activities. This is because insufficient data are collected on individual activities for the adjustment to be statistically valid. RoSPA works closely with HSE to ensure their recommendations are followed.
