One row per source: the figure the source's own page publishes, the page, and the day it was read. A figure that is not on a page we read is not on this one.

Methodology
Every row is a verbatim sentence read from the named source's own page through our fetch service on the date shown, hash-pinned to the stored read (the sha of the page's visible text; the raw page is mirrored to R2).
4 of the 12 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 8 published none and are recorded as not published, never filled in; 0 could not be read (blocked, dead or unreachable) and count nowhere.
The headline figures (median, minimum, maximum, quartiles) are over ONE figure per source in % (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences), so N counts sources, never sentences; 27 candidate sentence(s) were refused by a reviewer with the reason recorded.
The fuller derivation this dataset is chartered to grow into (not yet what the figures above are; they are each source's own published figure as read): one series per jurisdiction per measure - fatal injuries, RIDDOR-reported non-fatal injuries, self-reported injuries, work-related ill health, working days lost, cost - broken by industry and kind of accident, each year from the authority's own release; across them the two things the releases leave the reader to do: the REPORTING GAP (employer-reported RIDDOR injuries against the survey's self-reported count, the same year, the same population) and the GB-US comparison on a common per-100,000-workers basis, changed-since each annual release.
27 candidate sentences on these pages were refused by a reviewer; each refusal and its reason is recorded in the review ledger.
