Abstract

The following analysis draws on the Central Statistics Office’s (CSO) Quarterly National Household Survey (QNHS) to explore work-related accidents and illnesses in the transport and storage sector over the period 2001 to 2014 (see Box 1 for details on data source and measures). The results are based on workers’ self-reports of work-related illness and injury. All injuries and illnesses are included, up to those requiring lengthy work absences, and regardless of whether or not there was no absence or only a short absence from work, as many people continue to work while sick or injured. Findings across the economy as a whole are explored in Russell et al. (2015 and 2016). This research briefing provides a within-sector picture of the transport and storage sector over the period 2001–2014.
