Annual probability of death is estimated as c) x d) obtaining average number of fatalities per number of workers per year. Assumed to be an approximate measure of the likelihood of work related death of an average worker in 1 year
^aAverage number of accepted fatal claims per year between 2005 and 2009
^bAverage number of accepted claims per year (short-term, long-term and fatal claims) for 2008 and 2009
^cratio of ^a respect to ^b
^dAverage number of claims (short-term, long-term and fatal claims) per 100 workers employed all year (per 100 person-years of employment)
