Note: Only
first-allowed, lost-time claims have been considered. Confidence intervals
were not calculable when at-risk estimates were less than
500 full-time equivalents because approximate coefficients of variation
for estimates of annual averages for Ontario, 1997 were not available. |

aRate per 100,000 full-time
equivalents (1 full-time equivalent = 50 wks/year * 40 hours/week = 2,000
hours) with 95% CI. bOccupational categories are presented in order of prevention index rank. Since the prevention index is the mean of the frequency of claims rank and rate of claims rank, rates will not necessarily appear in descending order. |
